Users of the ams AS7000 optical biosensor system-on-chip can take advantage of optical simulations (ray-traces) performed by ams, in order to generate a model of their intended design’s optical ...

Optical solution One solution, being pursued by the EU-funded OFSETH project, is to use optical sensors and optical fibres.

Although many types of fiber optic sensors exist, one of the most commonly used is fiber Bragg grating (FBG). Bragg gratings are variations of the refractive index which are ‘written’ within the core ...

Some motion sensors are based on optical measurement technologies to provide accurate velocity and position measurements without requiring physical contact with the object or ...

Where the original Theremin sensed hand proximity using two antenna-like capacitive sensors to control note frequency and volume, this design relies on two optical sensors to do the same job.

The robot in question is a skid-steer 4-wheeled toy, to which he has added an ADNS3080 mouse sensor fitted with a lens, an H-bridge motor driver board, and a Wemos D1 Mini single board computer.

The sensor that the researchers have developed is based on an optical phenomenon, plasmons, which occur when metal nanoparticles capture light and give the particles a distinct colour.

Optical in-display fingerprint sensors work using light, and in Android phones that have adopted this technology, the screen lights up with a fingerprint icon where you're meant to place a finger ...
