Implementing robust sensor security is essential in connected systems. Compromised sensors can feed corrupt, inaccurate data ...

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 ...

The wearable sensor market is growing at an annual compound rate of 17.8%. However, sensors have challenges, particularly in terms of miniaturization and power consumption. Several key parameters are ...

Anyone who has used a 'smart lens' app on their smartphone is familiar with machine vision. Rather than simply reproducing and storing a picture for later viewing, machine vision applies an image ...

Door sensors detect door position (i.e., open or closed) based on the precise gap between the magnet and the reed switch.

I’ve been writing about smoke detectors for a few years. That often involves researching fire statistics, so when I see something like the fact that the death rate from a fire is 60 percent lower in ...

Capacitive sensors are typically cost-effective and deliver low-power performance features aligned with today’s trends for consumer and industrial applications. Capacitive sensors are cost effective ...

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 ...

The improved readout speed also enables 4K 120 fps video recording for the first time on Sony's 1/2-type sensor. This reduces ...
