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 Inc. introduces the MAX44000, a digital ambient-light and infrared proximity sensor that detects light like a human eye. Designed using the company's proprietary BiCMOS ...

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 ...

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.

Vishay expands its sensing technology portfolio with a compact proximity sensor aimed at smart homes, automation, and ...

The lack of sensory feedback provided by prosthetic hands dramatically limits the utility of the device. Peripheral nerve interfaces are now able to produce stable somatosensory percepts for upper ...

Infrared line tracker modules hardly need an in-depth explanation as they’re very familiar to most electronics and robotics hobbyists. In this post I’ll discuss a popular and cheap infrared line ...
