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 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 ...

Intelligent Network Cameras are an exciting new technology. This article will help you understand the basics of intelligent network cameras (or smart cameras), enabling technologies, and available ...

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 ...

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 ...

The Industrial Internet of Things is enabling a revolution of data and improved operations with opportunities for better control, faster data collection,direct transmission from the plant floor to the ...

Capacitive sensors are found in a wide range of equipment, from consumer electronics to industrial/process control. Touch buttons are increasingly found in lamps and dimmers. Motion detectors can ...

A spacecraft can estimate the attitude state by comparing external measurements from attitude sensors with reference information. CubeSats tend to use 4-quadrant analog solar sensors which have the ...

UC San Diego has developed a system that uses analog sensors with a direct interface to RFID tags, making them passive sensor devices. The solution includes analog to digital conversion without ...
