Position sensor offers continuous operating temperature rating
New Tek Sensor Solutions has introduced the HT-1000 LVDT Position Sensor that offers a 1,000°F (538°C) continuous operating temperature rating and resistance to high radiation levels of 100Mrad. The HT-1000 Position Sensor meets the demands of specialty materials testing in autoclaves to determine dimensional stability and long term behaviour by measuring expansion, contraction and strain rates.
Time of flight solutions suit IoT and AR applications
The MOD_CH101 ultrasonic time-of-flight (ToF) sensor module and DK-CH101 SmartSonic platform from InvenSense, a TDK Group company is available at Mouser Electronics. The ToF solutions offer fast and accurate range measurement with ultra-low power consumption, and are capable of detecting objects of any size, colour, and transparency.
Duo continue collaboration with shared vision to improve road safety
ON Semiconductor have passed the landmark number of 100 million AR0132AT image sensors shipped for driver assistance applications. The 1.2 Megapixel CMOS sensor was selected by SUBARU, thanks to its combination of high dynamic range, low light sensitivity, and programmable exposure modes, which meet the demanding technical specifications of its driver support system, EyeSight.
Pressure sensor with low power consumption for mobile equipment
Variohm EuroSensor's new EPT31LE series pressure sensor features fast power-up and response times and a low power consumption that suits mobile equipment pressure monitoring used in combination with battery and/or solar powered wireless transmitting systems.
Soft flex sensors join Mouser's global linecard
Mouser Electronics has sealed a global distribution agreement with Bend Labs, a technology company on a mission to bring motion and position measurement and understanding to the world through soft, flexible sensing solutions.
Megapixel automotive image sensors with LED flicker mitigation
OmniVision Technologies has announced the first two members of its new automotive image sensor platform, the 8MP, front-view OX08A and OX08B. The high-resolution OX08A utilises a HDR, while the pinout-compatible OX08B adds high quality LED flicker mitigation (LFM) performance, enabled by the sensor’s on-chip HALE (HDR and LFM engine) combination algorithm.
Tyre pressure monitoring to improve autonomous vehicles safety
Falken’s parent company, Sumitomo Rubber Industries (SRI), has developed a solution to remotely monitor the tyre pressure of an unoccupied vehicle. In a crucial step towards ensuring the safety of autonomous vehicles Level 4 and above, SRI has successfully established links between its Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) and an Autonomous Driving Control Centre.
High isolated sensors range completed with included current conductor
LEM has expanded its range of miniature, integrated circuit sensors range for AC and DC isolated-current measurement with the introduction of the HMSR series. Despite their small size, the components can handle overload current bursts of up to 20 kA (8-20µs surge test profile), such as those that occur in photovoltaics applications while still providing a reinforced isolation. Products in the series are designed to measure currents of up to...
Long range, multi-band sensor networks with LPSTK-CC1352R
The LaunchPad SensorTag Kit (LPSTK-CC1352R) is based on the multi-band, multi-protocol SimpleLink CC1352R wireless MCU.
Nanusens wins 'Best Campaign of the Year' at the 2019 Elektra Awards
After Nanusens’ success at the TechWorks Awards in October where it was the only company to win two awards, the company has gone on to win the Award for Best Campaign of the Year at the 2019 Elektra Awards, which are organised by Electronics Weekly.
