Sensor designed for driver state monitoring and viewing applications
OmniVision has announced the OV2312 automotive image sensor, which enables multiple functions in one camera. This multi-functional approach reduces total system cost, space and power budget for Driver State Monitoring (DSM) and viewing applications like video conferencing.
Consumer electronics boosts demand for electromagnetic relay
The market for safety sensors and switches in ASEAN countries is likely to grow by more than eight percent, yearly, in 2019. As depicted in a new research study, adoption of safety sensors and switches across the ASEAN industries will be prominently driven by those based in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand.
Stable coreless current sensors for industrial applications
At this year’s PCIM trade fair, Infineon Technologies will launch a new family of current sensors and is presenting its first member. The family will consist of precise and stable coreless Hall sensors. They offer a high level of flexibility as customers can individually program product parameters such as the current range, the overcurrent threshold and the output mode.
Coreless current sensor IC at PCIM Europe
Specialist in power and sensing solutions for motion control and energy efficient systems, Allegro MicroSystems, will show a new coreless current sensor IC and the industry’s quietest brushless DC (BLDC) motor control solution at the PCIM Europe 2019 Exhibition (Nuremberg, Germany, 7th to 9th May) in Hall 6, Booth 255.
Miniaturised CO2 sensor to create a healthier environment
Once again, Sensirion trailblazes innovation in environmental sensing to create healthier and more productive environments for people. At this year’s Sensor+Test 2019 in Nuremberg and Sensors Expo 2019 in San José, Sensirion, is announcing the SCD40 - according to the company it is the first miniaturised CO2 and RH/T sensor that fits in a space of just one cubic centimetre.
The basic needs for measuring temperature sensors
This video discusses the basic needs for measuring temperature and compares the various sensor options available.
Long range sensor designed for advanced mapping and surveying
Cepton has unveiled the newest product in its SORA family of scanning LiDAR sensors. Released at AUVSI Xponential 2019, the SORA-P60L is purpose-built to deliver long range, high resolution imaging for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs).
Understanding the encoder resolution
An incremental rotary encoder can be used to measure rotational direction, speed and angular displacement. The encoder generates two output channels as it rotates, A and B. Each output is a square wave, and in a quadrature encoder, the two outputs are 90° out of phase. By Jason Kelly, Motion Control Design and Applications Engineer, CUI Devices
Digital combination sensor designed for accurate monitoring
TE Connectivity’s (TE) TRICAN 5V is designed for engine and fuel cell applications that require a low power, digital combination sensor for accurate monitoring and diagnosis in harsh vehicle environments.
