The power switch with infrared proximity sensor is intended for the recognition of obstructions at distances of a few millimetres to a few centimetres. This compact sensor switch can be used to open a ...

A device that detects the presence of an object in the vicinity. There are many types of sensors for myriad applications; however, they all work by emitting a signal and analyzing the changes in the ...

A common application seen throughout the industrial and commercial sectors is proximity sensing—detecting when some object is physically close to a sensor. A variety of processes can be implemented ...

The ISL29147 is a low power Ambient Light Sensor (ALS) and proximity (PROX) sensor. It has a built-in IR-LED for the proximity function. The ALS function measures the amount of light (in the visible ...

They are housed in PPO or PTFE synthetics, 304 stainless-steel, or nickel-plated brass. Four-wire switches are available in sizes M12, M18, and M30; two-wire switches in sizes M18 and M30, and ...

Application characteristics help specifiers choose the best discrete sensor type. Industrial automation systems depend on sensors to detect what is going on with machinery and products for effective ...

An Apple invention detailed in a patent application published Thursday describes a method of decoupling a keyboard's mechanical feel from its electrical functionality using proximity sensors, which ...

An example is the sensing of a rotary cam position. The oblong shape of the cam dictates use of a sensor able to detect different shapes and sizes. A simple prox sensor merely detects the presence or ...
