As noted in Part 1, some of the latest offerings for smart home sensors are based on sensor integration, technology, and connectivity. However, identified needs have created new applications that were ...

Wearable devices and smart sensors are transforming how we monitor health and activity, from tracking heartbeats to detecting ...

Since the later half of the 1990s though, your rodent has been ever significantly more likely to rely upon an optical sensor taking the form of a small CCD camera connected to motion sensing ...

Optical triangulation position sensors use reflected waves to pinpoint position and displacement. They are noncontact height or range measurement devices. These sensors use an optical transmitter to ...

Fiber optic proximity sensors are used to detect the proximity of target objects using light. Light is supplied and returned via fiber optic cables. Fiber optic cables can fit in small spaces, are not ...

Motion sensing hardware is well established, expanding the application space or reducing sensor footprint and cost to retain ...

The spinner is installed in a skateboard-style bearing for smooth rotation. As it spins, the optical sensor detects the motion and reports it as mouse movement via USB.

Optical applications of MEMS ... is equipped with dozens of MEMS sensors and actuators – accelerometers, gyroscopes, compass, motion sensor, pressure sensors, proximity sensor, image sensors, ...
