With a 5-mm vertical slot, 0.5-mm aperture, 0.4-mm resolution and a 10% (typ.) current transfer ratio, the TCST1210 transmissive optical sensor is designed to provide highly accurate sensing of ...

A design of microstructured optical fibre (MOF) that features a slot running along its length to expose its core could potentially provide a convenient answer to real-time sensing of chemicals and ...

Sensors help microprocessor-based systems find their bearings. Where would embedded systems be without them? Sensors provide the windows through which microprocessor-based systems can observe their ...

I am always on the lookout for ideas for simple test and measurement instruments that can be used on my workbench. Over the years, I have built dozens of little test instruments and home lab ...

Some motion sensors are based on optical measurement technologies to provide accurate velocity and position measurements without requiring physical contact with the object or surface being monitored.
