For our most recent survey, we asked, “When you use an off-the-shelf sensor assembly, how much functionality is built into it?” We put up various categories that covered levels of sophistication and ...

If there’s any area of electronics signal chain that has remained stubbornly analog, it’s sensors. Yes, you can get a sensor output and digitize it very close to the sensor itself, but the sensor ...

There are also sensor-equipped systems that analyze the water on an ongoing basis – according to scientists at the University of South Australia, though, these setups tend to be complex and expensive.

A Smart Tuning Key provides one-touch setup by matching the sensor to the surface property: metals, substrates, elastomers, and transparent materials. The ZX2 continually monitors the received light ...

Consider the complexity of the appendages sitting at the end of your arms. The human hands contain over a quarter of the entire complement of bones in the body, use dozens of muscles both in the hand ...

Inline quality control systems are playing an increasingly important role in today’s manufacturing and production systems, helping to reduce downtime, minimising rejection rates and contributing to ...

Most modern vehicles come with two transmission speed sensors, which are responsible for monitoring the input and output shaft speeds of the transmission. These sensors send information to your car's ...
