Liquid-level sensing based on capacitive sensors comes with its own challenges. It’s like absolute capacitance sensing. Unlike touch detection, the absolute value of the liquid level needs to be ...

A diverse mix of sensors is needed for vehicles to truly understand their environment and avoid deadly crashes, Taylor Gage, automotive ADAS engineer at Texas Instruments recently told trade ...

According to the National Safety Council (NSC), as many as 40,000 people died in motor vehicle crashes in the U.S. in 2016, the highest total in more than a decade. Among the main causes were speeding ...

Sensing and Instrumentation specialists BAUMER Ltd have introduced a new range of optical miniature sensors which raise the standard of precisely detecting challenging objects across a wide range of ...

Sometimes we need a non-contact liquid level sensor. There are several ways to build that, but the easiest is to try an optical liquid level sensor. You may already have an idea in mind since you are ...

U-tube: the glass tube and piezoelectric speaker that were used to create the new mass sensor. (Courtesy: William Grover) A $12 device that can measure the mass of microgram-sized objects in fluid has ...
