This application note presents some of the fundamental information about Hall-Effect sensors. It also presents the basics of magnetics, and the added value of programmable sensors and sensor interface ...

Figure 1a shows a slotted optical switch. An LED is mounted in a plastic housing, facing a phototransistor, but separated by a gap. If something moves into the gap, it blocks the light path between ...

A team of researchers have developed the world's thinnest and lightest magnetic sensor matrix sheet system that visualizes the two-dimensional distribution of magnetism on various surfaces, with a ...

This energy management interface is the "brain" of a self-powered, battery-free sensor that can harvest the energy it needs to operate from the magnetic field generated in the open air around a wire.

Hardware developer and Maker Salim Benbouziyane has created an open-source, fully functional 6-DoF (six degrees of freedom) ...

Magnetic actuators and sensors are used to produce and control motion. Applications include systems such as automotive anti-lock brakes, computer disk drives, and factory automation. In many of these ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. In the seemingly endless quest for higher motor performance and improved system cost efficiencies, motor manufacturers ...

This product is featured in EDN's Hot 100 products of 2017. See all 100 here. I recently missed a meeting at the University of Arizona in Tucson because their parking lot was full and, not being ...
