The VCNL3020 proximity sensor from Vishay Intertechnology combines an IR emitter, photo-pin-diode, signal-processing IC, and 16-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) in a 4.85- by 2.35- by 0.83-mm ...
Two new compact 4- and 5-mm inductive proximity sensors were crafted to work in concert with the recently developed ultra-miniature M5 (5-mm diameter) connectors. By combining the two, high ...
Non-contact proximity sensors can improve the ruggedness of manufacturing operations, such as metal component assembly, by replacing delicate mechanical switches. Sensor selection for these ...
Touch-free user interfaces are the new trend for automotive design engineers. There are multiple ways to implement this feature, and one of them is through proximity sensing. Proximity sensing is a ...
Japanese toy maker Taiyo Corp has unveiled an R/C mini-chopper fitted with a proximity sensor that forces the device to descend when it hovers too close to the ceiling. A feature like that makes sense ...
