CO2 sensor offers 5V power supply and multiple interfaces
In order to further drive decarbonization, improving the energy efficiency of buildings is crucial, as they contribute significantly to global energy consumption and carbon emissions. Innovative solutions are needed to optimize energy consumption while ensuring a healthy indoor environment. Infineon Technologies AG is addressing this need with the introduction of the new XENSIV PAS CO2 […]
Hall Effect ICs offer -40°C to +150°C operating range
Diodes Incorporated announces the addition of two enhanced high-voltage, Hall effect switch IC families to its automotive-compliant* product portfolio. The AH332xQ (unipolar) and AH352xQ (omnipolar) offer a wide range of operating sensitivity options in SIP-3, SOT23 (Type S), and SC59 packages. The devices can be used in a broad range of contactless position and proximity […]
What sensors are in a digit?
In this case, the digit is a finger. Advanced robots designed to interact on a personal level with humans will need hands that can sense a variety of interactions. Several sensing techniques could be employed to achieve the right level of dexterity and avoid excessive force — some simultaneously and far less for specific applications. Getting the […]
How will LiDAR sensing be used in industrial applications?
Light Detection and Ranging or LiDAR is often used in the latest searches for ancient ruins (lost cities and walls), underwater exploration, and even treasure hunting to display 3D imaging that other techniques cannot provide. LiDAR is also one of the key technologies (besides radar and cameras) that is integrally involved in the quest for […]
What really counts?
Sesame Street’s Count von Count loves to count things. However, depending on what needs to be counted, there are a variety of different techniques. Is it people, objects, steps, or? Counting people Turnstiles are commonly seen at events, fairgrounds, stadiums, arenas, amusement parks, or anywhere pedestrian counting and/or pedestrian crowd control is required. The simplest […]
Current sensors offer compact design and enhanced integration
Molex has announced the Percept Current Sensors, designed to meet the demand for precise busbar current sensing in industrial and automotive applications. These sensors incorporate Infineon’s coreless current sensors and Molex’s proprietary electronics packaging technology, resulting in smaller, lighter devices that simplify installation and system integration. The Percept Current Sensors feature a compact, coreless design and […]
Compact angle sensor for wear-free rotation detection
The posirot PRAS20 from ASM angle sensor is suitable for applications such as operating tables, doors, opening valves, packaging, or printing machines. Even tight installation spaces are no problem for the sensor in a 6 mm flat housing. A redundant version, posirot PRAS 20R, is available. posirot sensors use multihall technology for non-contact rotation measurement. […]
What role does sensing play in reducing potholes?
In the distant past, the “eye in the sky” was a radio report on local traffic, especially during rush hour, provided by a reporter/observer and based on their observations from a helicopter or low-flying aircraft. For real-time radio reports, sensing was not necessary. Evolving into TV reporting and planning before departing for work (long before […]
Compact miniature force sensor features expanded interface capabilities
HBK has released the U93A, a compact and easy-to-mount miniature force sensor that offers both digital and analog interface options. The U93A is available as a traditional passive mV/V sensor or can be ordered with different hardwired amplifier modules. Models with 0-10V or 4-20mA analog outputs are available, as well as a digital version with […]
