Sensor fusion typically implies the processing of sensor outputs for improved data for decision-making. However, different levels and interpretations of sensor fusion can make the topic rather ...

Electronics that can be bent and stretched might sound like science fiction. But scientists have devised a wireless sensor that can stand to be stretched. For example, the sensor can measure intensive ...

ALSs (ambient-light sensors) have been around for years, but they are now seeing increased use due to the success of smartphones, such as Apple’s iPhone. The iPhone uses an ALS to reduce power demands ...

Couches, tables, sleeves and more can turn into a high-fidelity input device for computers using a new sensing system developed at the University of Michigan. The system repurposes technology from new ...

An overwhelming majority of handheld devices these days have ambient light sensors built into them. A large percentage of TVs and monitors do, too, and that proportion is growing. The sensors allow ...

Melexis has brought out a dual-input inductive sensor integrated circuit (IC). The device simultaneously processes signals from two sets of coils to compute differential or vernier angles on-chip.

In the microcontroller era today, Arduino is more than just a tool to accomplish hobby tasks. There is actually a close relationship between microcontroller technology and home security, since you can ...
