Jake Smith, Hull High School senior, explains how his prototype of a smart walker with sensors to detect obstacles would work at an MIT hackathon. John Calipari, Dan Hurley among latest college ...

IR sensors rely on an emitter (IR LED) and a detector (photodiode or photoresistor) to measure infrared light and convert it ...

Reliable detection of fast-moving objects or objects that are tough to detect at longer ranges distinguishes SICK’s Dx35 line of laser distance measurement sensors. Reliable detection of fast-moving ...

Although ultrasonic sensors have been around for several decades, their popularity in sensing applications continues due to their capability, flexibility and relatively low cost. Products like ...

EdgeMaster photoelectric sensors detect and monitor web or object edges. The sensors help reduce or eliminate problems such as skew, material shifts, object alignment, and web material drag or stretch ...

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 ...

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.

Rear View Safety’s RVS-125 SenseStat Wireless Object Detection Sensor System is designed to provide both active and passive safety for larger vehicles. The proprietary technology uses a scanning ...

As the number of satellites in orbit explodes, the amount of hardware eventually plunging back through the atmosphere is ...
