An accelerometer measures the acceleration of your phone. It does that on three axes: horizontal, vertical, and forward/backward. It also senses vibration, tilt, and free fall. Being able to calculate ...

[mircemk] shows how to create a simple non-contact proximity sensor using little more than an Arduino Nano board, and a convenient software library intended to measure the value of capacitors.

A team of scientists have integrated an ultrasensative sensor called a “superconducting nanowire single-photon detector,” or ...

With a miniature light spot size, these small, smart and precise sensors measure displacements and ... They are particularly suitable for displacement, distance and position measurements in ...

Currently in its prototype phase, it aims to make a simple bike-mounted sensor that measures the lateral distance to any passing vehicles. The resulting data is collected online to generate maps ...

Maximum productivity and consistent quality are critical in automated welding processes. This requires robust, high precision ...

An acoustic sensor can determine the direction from which artillery and mortar fire is coming. An AI determines what type of ...

Dual-lens sensor measures tiniest objects A unique configuration ... of an object through the left and right lenses at a shorter distance than conventional methods. This precision enables the ...

Effective immediately, the cameras of the ImageIR® series operating in the short-wave infrared range are able to measure objects over very large distances.
