Loading cement sacks into trucks requires precise counting for traceability, yet manual methods are error-prone and often ...

An Infrared close object sensor installed on an industrial vehicle detects objects or pedestrians located in a hazardous area. When it detects a problem an audio/visual indicator makes an alert, that ...

Eliminating the need for a separate magnetic lid sensor, the CM36262 integrates a patent-pending optical lid sensor with an ambient-light sensor (ALS) and proximity sensor, thus simplifying the design ...

Maxim Integrated Products Inc. introduces the MAX44000, a digital ambient-light and infrared proximity sensor that detects light like a human eye. Designed using the company's proprietary BiCMOS ...

Vishay Semiconductors has created an interesting reflectance proximity detector (VCNL4000) that includes an infrared (IR) LED and a photodetector. A second sensor in the same package measures ambient ...

Time-of-flight (ToF) sensors open up new application areas and use cases for proximity sensing and presence detection technologies, and these sensors can add valuable functionalities and intelligence ...

We present a novel multi-modal tactile sensor which consists of an infrared proximity sensor and a barometric pressure sensor embedded in an elastomer layer with potential use in prosthetic devices.
