There are also sensor-equipped systems that analyze the water on an ongoing basis – according to scientists at the University of South Australia, though, these setups tend to be complex and expensive.

Sensors that detect and track small metallic objects are handy gadgets, whether used to route workpieces on an assembly line or comb a beach for “treasures” lost in the sand. A typical sensor design ...

This article discusses how to build a tiny, shared power and data interface (PoDL) for a condition-based monitoring sensor, delving into power-supply and mechanical design, MEMS sensor selection, and ...

Rambus is developing a tiny lensless imaging system that covers a typical photodiode array with a specially designed diffraction grating. The diffraction approach eliminates the lens and support ...

The part 4 of this article series looked at the operation of the 3T and 5T charge-transfer pixels in some detail. The characteristics of the pixel were examined during reset and charge integration. We ...
