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 ...

As automobiles become more complex and more electronically driven, it's no surprise that more innovative and unique technologies are getting implemented in this space. One application increasing in ...

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 ...

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 ...

We’re all familiar with the general idea of a filter: it removes something that we don’t want from something we do want. Coffee filters that pass the liquid coffee but retain the grounds or air ...

What’s the big deal about running an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) device? Tie a sensor output to an ADC input and start taking readings. Right? After all, digital signaling offers strong noise ...

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 ...
