The Sharp GP2AP03VT00F Time-Of-Flight sensor seems to be a nice part for makers and roboticists, focusing on good short distance sensing where other parts sometimes have problems. Alas, Sharp seems to ...

The IM19 is used in conjunction with the UM980 GNSS receiver to provide tilt-compensated Lat/Lon/Alt readings with 1cm accuracy up to 30° tilt angle, and 2cm accuracy up to 60°. Various bits of the ...

STMicroelectronics' TMOS sensors handle presence sensing using a 5- to 20-µm passive IR sensor. This provides more accurate results as well as information about the distance rather than just a basic ...

The new CA18CB..IO and CA30CB..IO capacitive sensors with IO-Link communication offer exceptional sensing performance and simplified adjustments through their integrated LED bar, which displays on/off ...

As an added bonus, ProTac can be set to a "flicker mode" in which the PDLC continuously (and rapidly) switches back and forth between its transparent and opaque states. This allows the system to ...

TransDigm Group has agreed to acquire Simmonds Precision Products from defense contractor RTX for approximately $765 million in cash. TransDigm said the transaction is subject to U.S. regulatory ...

President Donald Trump is insisting - and not for the first time - that U.S. interest rates should be the lowest in the world. Bond markets eyeing the latest long-term budget math beg to differ.

A light source and photosensor combine for effective, reliable, non-contact proximity detection of nearby objects. Part 1 of this article looked at the principles and three basic approaches to optical ...

A light source and photosensor combine for effective, reliable, non-contact proximity detection of nearby objects. Non-contact proximity sensors detect the presence or absence of nearby objects ...
