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 ...

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

With the cost of sensors ranging from $15 to $1,000, carmakers are beginning to question how many sensors are needed for vehicles to be fully autonomous at least part of the time. Those sensors are ...

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 ...

Simply put, sensors are the eyes and ears of industrial automation. Regardless of the application, automation is simply not possible in today’s manufacturing process without sensors. There are many ...

HHMI Janelia Research Campus Group Leaders Alison Tebo and Srinivas Turaga are creating new AI models to optimize the development of sensors used to track biological processes happening inside cells ...

Imagine a turbocharger trying to pressurize a carburetor with its small venturis and finicky floats and you can get some idea why electronic fuel injection opened the door to big boost, big power, big ...

Pilots, drivers and automated safety systems in cars and airplanes could be alerted to icy hazards by a pair of sensors ...

A TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) sensor is a device that is installed in a vehicle's tires to monitor the air pressure and temperature of the tires. The primary function of the TPMS sensor is ...
