With increased automation of complex production systems, components that are capable of acquiring and transmitting information regarding the production process become necessary. Proximity sensors -- ...

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 following guide provides a review of the types of proximity sensors for prolonged detection, followed by a look at capacitive sensing design specifically for occupancy-type solutions. A variety of ...

I recently had to build an infrared close proximity sensor that could tell if something was dropped in a parcel delivery drop box. After some searching, I ended up using a microcontroller and a piece ...

Understanding acoustic feedback in hearing aids. Power consumption challenges in hearing aids. Functionality integration and its impact on energy consumption. The benefits of using photoreflectors for ...

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 ...
