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 ...

Comet Industries explores how advanced presence detection technologies can enhance efficiency of rail operations.

Q: I wanted to add window sensors to my home for extra peace of mind, and I thought it would be a simple task of searching for “window sensors for security” or “alarms for windows in house.” But it ...

Contributed by Kevin Andrews, Trimble Applanix The ambitious advances made under the umbrella of autonomy have provided the ...

The types of magnetic sensors that are currently available. How the magnetic sensors work. Applications for the different magnetic sensors. Position sensors enable a variety of functions and controls ...

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. Since it would be challenging to find all the different types of sensors in one place, we decided to put together a list of some of the best ...

Most modern digital cameras use CMOS tech to capture light, but not all are equally capable. We break down the various types of CMOS sensors and differentiate them from CCD and Foveon chips. Images, ...

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 ...

Motion plugs into existing outlets much like a smart plug, but instead of controlling devices it monitors the signals that the Wi-Fi router produces. Gauging how signals change throughout a home lets ...

TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) sensors monitor the air pressure in a vehicle's tires and alert the driver when the pressure drops below a certain level. They are designed to increase road ...

Earlier this year, while speaking with Fierce Medtech at the annual J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference, Dexcom CEO Kevin Sayer noted that the continuous glucose monitor maker had recently changed its ...
