Cornell researchers have created a fiber-optic sensor utilizing inexpensive LEDs and dyes that resulted in a stretchable skin-like material able to detect deformations, including pressure, bending, ...

CEA-Leti today demonstrated a co-packaged microLED and organic photodetector (OPD) architecture that enables optical sensing functions. This solution paves the way to integrate sensing capabilities ...

Maxim Integrated introduces it’s new MAXREFDES27# IO-Link subsystem reference design that lets operators tune and calibrate an optical proximity sensor with excellent accuracy, up to 14 bit resolution ...

A new lens-free imaging system uses software to see finer details from farther away than optical systems ever could before.

Air bubble sensors are used to detect air or gas bubbles in flexible clear plastic tubes. They are intended to prevent air infusions. The air bubble sensor has no contact with the liquid and is ...

At some time or another, we’ve all had an idea we thought was so clever that we jumped on the Internet to see if somebody else had already come up with it. Most of the time, they have. But on the off ...
