Vishay’s VCNL4100 is an IR proximity sensor that works up to 1m, and includes an ambient light sensor. Inside, it combines an infra-red (940nm) emitter, photo detectors for proximity and ambient light ...

New TMD2635 from ams occupies a volume of just 1mm3 proximity detection triggers help extend longer listening between battery charges PREMSTAETTEN, Austria--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- ams (SIX: AMS), a leading ...

Combining a miniature, threaded,12-mm housing and an extended sensing range of 50.8 mm, the Superprox Model SM300 "install-it-and-forget-it" sensor is designed to solve proximity sensing problems, ...

I recently had to build an infrared close proximity sensor that could tell if something was dropped in a parcel delivery drop box. After some searching, I ended up using a microcontroller and a piece ...

An Infrared close object sensor installed on an industrial vehicle detects objects or pedestrians located in a hazardous area. When it detects a problem an audio/visual indicator makes an alert, that ...

Inductive proximity sensors typically mount so the objects they detect approach within 40 to 80% of the sensor target range. This range usually allows for all accumulated manufacturing and application ...

The sensing range of the series is approximately twice that of previous models for ferrous metals and six times as long as previous models for aluminum, making them the suitable for mixed-metal ...

SAN FRANCISCO & HONG KONG--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Elliptic Labs, the innovator in ultrasound virtual sensors, today announced a partnership with Solomon Systech Limited, a leader in display controllers, ...

Time-of-flight (ToF) sensors open up new application areas and use cases for proximity sensing and presence detection technologies, and these sensors can add valuable functionalities and intelligence ...

Sharp GP2D12 and 2Y0A02 infrared rangers output a voltage proportionate to the distance of an object from the sensor. The GPD12 senses objects at a distance of 10-80cm, while the 2Y0A02 has twice the ...

An Apple patent application published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on Thursday describes a system that may one day replace the infrared proximity sensors deployed in current iPhones with ...
