Due to recent advances in micro-sensing technology, tasks that once seemed relatively complex can now be addressed with the use of inexpensive sensors. These devices perform sensing duties, plus ...

This paper describes the design and characterisation of a long-range capacitive displacement sensor, NanoSensor® model NXE2. Special emphasis is placed on the design features and metrological ...

The device uses an ASIC and an array of MR sensors to determine the position of a magnet collar attached to a rotating object to identify and control the object's position. Especially in applications ...

Howard A. Schaevitz Technologies Inc. Pennsauken, N.J. Engineers continue to increase their use of linear-position and displacement sensors for providing real-time ...

Before the digital age, when transistors were expensive, unreliable, and/or nonexistent, engineers had to use other tricks to do things that we take for granted nowadays. Motor positioning, for ...

Non-contact displacement sensors are increasingly being adopted across industries for their precision, reliability, and ...

The presence of semiconductors in automobiles is increasing geometrically, in part due to automotive systems developers' desire for electronic motor control to address consumer requirements for safer, ...
