The Sharp GP2AP03VT00F Time-Of-Flight sensor seems to be a nice part for makers and roboticists, focusing on good short distance sensing where other parts sometimes have problems. Alas, Sharp seems to ...

Abstract: This letter presents an inductive sensor based on a micromachined coil for the detection of conductive targets. The proposed sensor consists of a planar micromachined sensing coil, a signal ...

ORLANDO, Fla. — The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency has awarded BAE Systems a $16 million contract to continue work on software that aims to keep “constant custody” of large numbers of ...

Melexis introduces a 16-bit inductive sensor for robotics, industrial, and mobility applications. The new dual-input MLX90514 delivers absolute position with high noise immunity through its SSI output ...

Now in its sixth year, the Cornell project team CU GeoData bridges engineering and earth sciences to design and deploy environmental sensors, including a sensor network across the Finger Lakes and a ...

Where non-magnetic inductive sensing is an attractive approach. The challenges of configuring these sensors. How a new trio of sensor-interface ICs and coil-optimizer tool simplify the challenge. It ...

Hi, I'm Bill. I'm a software developer with a passion for making and electronics. I do a lot of things and here is where I document my learning in order to be able to inspire other people to make ...

Northwest U.S. utility Puget Sound Energy (PSE) has joined with Norway-headquartered Heimdall Power on a dynamic line rating (DLR) pilot project in Washington state. The companies on October 22 said ...

Melexis announced the MLX90514, a dual-input inductive sensor integrated circuit (IC). The novel device simultaneously processes signals from two sets of coils to compute differential or vernier ...

Melexis introduces the MLX90514, a dual-input inductive sensor IC that simultaneously processes signals from two sets of coils to compute differential or vernier angles on-chip. The inductive sensor ...
