Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. has unveiled a fully integrated proximity sensor that packs a high-power vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL), a photodiode, a signal processing IC, and a 12-bit ...

Santa Clara, CA and Kyoto, Japan, Sept. 27, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ROHM Semiconductor today announced a compact 2.0mm × 1.0mm proximity sensor, the RPR-0720, optimized for applications requiring ...

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

There are a whole bunch of different ways to create 3D scans of objects these days. Researchers at the [UW Graphics Lab] have demonstrated how to use a small, cheap time-of-flight sensor to generate ...

Said to be the first device to combine an IR emitter, PIN photodiode, ambient light detector, signal-processing IC, and 16-bit ADC all in a 3.95 x 3.95 x 0.75-mm leadless surface-mount package the ...

[Klaus] wanted some sort of aid for parking his car, and after running across a $4 ultrasonic sensor, decided to build his own speaking distance sensor (.de, Google Translation). Inside [Klaus]’ ...

Featuring new firmware, the sensor combines window thresholds on both target distance and target reflected intensity, allowing easy solution of difficult applications. The unit can now detect clear ...

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.
