Vishay Semiconductors has created an interesting reflectance proximity detector (VCNL4000) that includes an infrared (IR) LED and a photodetector. A second sensor in the same package measures ambient ...

Consumer devices like cell phones are using more and more sensors to save power and enhance our interaction with them. Some of the latest devices have multiple sensors; and now, two important and ...

Eliminating the need for a separate magnetic lid sensor, the CM36262 integrates a patent-pending optical lid sensor with an ambient-light sensor (ALS) and proximity sensor, thus simplifying the design ...

Maxim Integrated Products announces four, new digital optical sensors that advance analog integration with sensor fusion. The MAX44004/05/06/08 measure red/green/blue (RGB) light levels, ambient ...

We present a novel multi-modal tactile sensor which consists of an infrared proximity sensor and a barometric pressure sensor embedded in an elastomer layer with potential use in prosthetic devices.

A light source and photosensor combine for effective, reliable, non-contact proximity detection of nearby objects. Non-contact proximity sensors detect the presence or absence of nearby objects ...

The many uses of optical proximity sensors. How a tiny optical sensor eases many application challenges. Why a digital sensor output simplifies design-in. Proximity sensors are literally and ...

Mid IR Sensors is defined as type of sensor designed to detect and measure electromagnetic radiation in the mid infrared range of wavelengths. The devices installed with Mid IR sensors are capable of ...
