The latest addition to the extensive range of Baumer sensors is the NexSonic UF300, an ultra-compact 18mm flat ultrasonic sensor with a 3m sensing range and ideal for intralogistics applications. The ...

For years, ultrasonic sensors have been used in a wide range of applications including fish finders, parking sensors in cars and burglar alarms. In this article, we describe the characteristics of ...

This post is a review of the popular waterproof ultrasonic sensor JSN-SR04T. I hope this will serve as a backdrop for some interesting ultrasonic distance sensor experiments and projects. A number of ...

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 ...

Ultrasonics or ultrasound is a radar-like system that uses ultrasonic signals at frequencies above those typical for human hearing, usually above 16 to 20 kHz. The 40- to 70-kHz range tends to be most ...

Machines are moving beyond single-point sensing. Multi-sensor fusion now delivers vision, ranging and inertial data. The ...

But, similar bursts from other sensors in close proximity may interfere with the echo timing. When that happens, the sensors suffer from a condition called cross talk. Interference from cross talk ...

I recently met Dr. Dave Horsley, CTO and co-founder of Chirp Microsystems. This is a company that was created in 2013 after incubating with Skydeck at Berkeley and the government-based SBIR program.

Sensors at left (top to bottom): Heat flux (TFX), in-mold dielectric (Lambient), ultrasonic (Univ. of Augsburg), disposable dielectric (Synthesites) and microwire (AvPro) in between penny and ...
