An example is the sensing of a rotary cam position. The oblong shape of the cam dictates use of a sensor able to detect different shapes and sizes. A simple prox sensor merely detects the presence or ...

The Apple iPhone brought the benefits of integrated multi-sensor technology to the masses, and while the application of sensors and their associated algorithms has multiplied and changed the world ...

An optimized, basic op amp offers precise sensor-output performance while negating temperature-induced drift and errors.

Many methods exist to measure temperature in electronic systems. To measure the local temperature of an object or area of a PCB, the most common methods are to use a thermistor or local temperature ...

What are the challenges for real-time biosensing and “edge” analysis? How do gold and gold-silver nanowires address the issue? How these sensors can implement elementary logic functions. Wearable ...

IEEE P1451.4 defines a sensor with embedded TEDS and a mixed-mode, analog and digital interface. Most sensors put out some sort of analog signal -- a voltage, current, or resistance, that varies in a ...

Common to all types of manufacturing automation is a reliance on effective detection and measurement of real-world conditions. In the past, discrete manufacturing (production of parts and equipment) ...
