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 ...

Over 340 new products have been added to the PRO factory automation sensors range by RS Components. The range now includes ultrasonic proximity sensors and fibre optical sensors which join the ...

Enabling OEMs to design smartphones without a bezel, ams has claimed the industry’s first optical sensor that integrates ambient light sensing, proximity detection, and flicker detection sensing in a ...

Most design engineers of consumer and industrial products always look for various ways to achieve their desired goals in applications ranging from wearables to handheld devices to industrial ...

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.

Elliptic Labs made a bit of a splash a few years ago when it unveiled its gesture-control technology for smartphones. The intriguing tech works through a modified chip that tunes the devices’ speakers ...

Figure 1a shows a slotted optical switch. An LED is mounted in a plastic housing, facing a phototransistor, but separated by a gap. If something moves into the gap, it blocks the light path between ...

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

An all-optical fiber-optic switching device that maintains the signal as light from input to output. Traditional switches that connect optical fiber lines are electro-optic. They convert photons from ...
