The wheels of a moving vehicle can move at different speeds, with some turning faster than others. This can cause a loss of steering control and compromise safety on the road. To mitigate this, speed ...

Variable reluctance (VR) sensors transform mechanical motion into electrical signals by exploiting changes in magnetic flux. As a ferromagnetic target moves past the sensor’s pole piece, the ...

Novotechnik’s new Vert-X 05E Series of dual angle/speed sensors include easy mounting in small and narrow spaces with a body depth of 5 mm and mounting flanges with metal inserts. Sensors feature ...

Future motorcycles and other vehicles may have sensors that read roadside speed limit signs and electronically intervene to limit the vehicle’s speed. Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR) is already ...

[Mike] built a sensor rig to measure projectile speed. The setup uses a tunnel with two sensors in it. Each consists of a laser diode on one side focused on a photodiode in the other. The two are ...

Explore how a high-speed 3D sensor is transforming the inspection of reflective and transparent surfaces in manufacturing.

Conventional CMOS image sensors are not suitable for low-light applications such as fluorescence, since large pixels arranged in a matrix do not support high readout speeds. A new optoelectronic ...

CMOS image sensor technology underpins a wide array of modern imaging applications, ranging from everyday digital cameras to specialised scientific instruments. This technology exploits complementary ...
