Position Sensors play an important role in our daily lives. A position sensor, as the name indicates, provides feedback on the position of the measurand by detecting the presence/absence of an object ...

The unassuming proximity sensor, a tiny component nestled within your smartphone, plays a crucial role in ensuring a seamless calling experience. It detects the proximity of your face during calls, ...

Inductive sensors are non-contact proximity sensors that detect ferrous targets, ideally ones made of mild steel thicker than one millimeter. They consist of four major components: a ferrite core with ...

A device that detects the presence of an object in the vicinity. There are many types of sensors for myriad applications; however, they all work by emitting a signal and analyzing the changes in the ...

Today, most modern Android devices are kitted out with a bunch of sensors. You can use this information in lots of different ways – whether it’s monitoring light levels so your application can ...

Omron Automation has added more than 2500 devices to its E2E NEXT line of proximity sensors featuring extended sensing distance and IoT functionality. Long-distance sensing minimizes target contact ...

OSLO, Norway--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Elliptic Labs (EuroNext Growth: ELABS.OL), a global AI software company and the world leader in Virtual Smart Sensors™, has announced that Xiaomi (HKSE: 1810.HK) has ...

You might not think that touchless controls–those “manipulated” by a series of gestures or movements–fit in anything but niche markets. But you'd be wrong. Although first used in high-end consumer ...

Apple was granted a patent on Tuesday for technology that would let you hover or wave your hands to control your devices without touching them, according to Patently Apple. In the patent, Apple ...

Proximity sensors detect objects without physical contact. Most proximity sensors emit an electromagnetic field or beam and look for changes in the field. The object being sensed is called a target.

The new W10 photoelectric proximity sensor from Sick has four variants, which differ in their operating distances and mounting options. The W10 features a touchscreen interface and three ...
