STMicroelectronics' TMOS sensors handle presence sensing using a 5- to 20-µm passive IR sensor. This provides more accurate results as well as information about the distance rather than just a basic ...

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 ...

The team at Jetpack Aviation (JPA) has just completed test flights in which two pilots flew close enough together to playfully boop each other on the nose. Next step: the world's first jetpack race ...

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 ...

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 ...
