Proximity sensing based on infrared signal acquisition and processing typically requires two parts to form the optical front end: an infrared LED and an optical sensor. The infrared LED beams infrared ...

Eliminating the need for a separate magnetic lid sensor, the CM36262 integrates a patent-pending optical lid sensor with an ambient-light sensor (ALS) and proximity sensor, thus simplifying the design ...

Maxim Integrated Products Inc. introduces the MAX44000, a digital ambient-light and infrared proximity sensor that detects light like a human eye. Designed using the company's proprietary BiCMOS ...

Time-of-flight (ToF) sensors open up new application areas and use cases for proximity sensing and presence detection technologies, and these sensors can add valuable functionalities and intelligence ...

Short of cameras, there are few tools at the disposal of health care providers or loved ones to remotely monitor patient safety within hospitals and assisted living care facilities. A new system of ...

We present a novel multi-modal tactile sensor which consists of an infrared proximity sensor and a barometric pressure sensor embedded in an elastomer layer with potential use in prosthetic devices.
