Application characteristics help specifiers choose the best discrete sensor type. Industrial automation systems depend on sensors to detect what is going on with machinery and products for effective ...

Sensor fusion is becoming increasingly popular and more complex in automotive designs, integrating multiple types of sensors into a single chip or package and intelligently routing data to wherever it ...

The types of magnetic sensors that are currently available. How the magnetic sensors work. Applications for the different magnetic sensors. Position sensors enable a variety of functions and controls ...

Continuing last month’s fundamentals-based theme, I’d like to address the devices that make closed-loop control work. As discussed, control loop algorithms are implemented by software within a BAS ...

Standard industrial sensors detect specific physical properties like temperature, pressure, and presence/absence. They also respond to changes in such properties. As such, one may think the only ...

As the automotive sector accelerates toward higher levels of autonomy, the complexity and scale of sensor networks within vehicles are rapidly expanding. For semiconductor engineers, the challenge is ...

There is a growing trend toward electrification of virtually all systems that can be electrified, and that inevitably calls for generating actionable intelligence of these systems. To achieve the ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Cancer screening typically requires large, expensive equipment housed in specialized facilities. Current methods rely on chemical analysis of blood samples, microscopic ...

Scientists have invented a paper-like, battery-free, AI-enabled sensor patch -- PETAL -- for convenient and effective monitoring of wound recovery. This novel technology provides early warning of ...
