At Sensors Expo 2019 in San Jose, CA, Håkan Persson, CEO of Neonode Inc., demonstrates touchless sensing using his company’s vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) technology. Neonode’s zForce® (zero force) patented optical sensing technology uses infrared light, invisible to the human eye to provide a holographic touch screen, essentially making air touchable. The holographic design consists […]
How can lasers be used for touch sensing?
At Sensors Expo 2019 in San Jose, CA, Bengt Edlund, the Vice President of Distribution & Partner Sales for Neonode Inc. demonstrates the touch sensing capabilities that Neonode’s ZForce AIR sensor module can provide to non-glass surfaces. The laser light based touch sensor provides a unique approach to increasingly common touch sensing applications and enables […]
How can picture-like images be obtained from LiDAR?
At Sensors Expo 2019, Steve Ehrsam, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Innovusion, explains how extensive details can be observed in the Innovusion Cheetah LiDAR system. Providing image-grade or picture-like images from 300 lines of angular resolution, the system can see cars over 270 meters away, detect small objects and even read signage. The […]
How has low pressure sensing changed?
At Sensors Expo 2019 in San Jose, CA, Jim Brownell, sales manager for All Sensors, explains how All Sensors fits into Amphenol Corporation since it was acquired last year. As one of the twelve companies in Amphenol’s Advanced Sensing Group, All Sensors continues its focus on low pressure sensing applications. Low pressure for microelectromechanical […]
How do you get your sensing idea into production?
If the idea is already in the design phase, you may just be looking for a company that will manufacturer (fabricate or fab) your device. The choice of a fab involves different criteria including, of course, cost. In addition to the wafer fabrication packaging is also a major consideration. A fab process that allows wafer […]
What types of sensors are used in underwater navigation and exploration? (Part 2 of 2)
Underwater navigation and exploration require special sensors for object detection and imaging. Part 1 of this blog addressed cameras and sonar. LiDAR is also used for underwater applications. Studying the depths and shapes of underwater terrain or bathymetry can be performed by bathymetric LiDAR. The airborne approach to scanning the seafloor uses a green wavelength […]
What types of sensors are used in underwater navigation and exploration? (Part 1 of 2)
Unlike land or airborne vehicles that can use radar and cameras to locate and identify objects underwater navigation and exploration present greater challenges. If underwater visibility is good, cameras provide a good source of information. Increasing resolution and the number of cameras are among the improvements that have been made in the recent past to […]
How can system designers integrate sensors quicker?
To make designing with the sensor easier, best practices and guidelines compiled by the application experts at the sensor manufacturer and other tools can simplify user’s implementation and avoid pitfalls that have been observed in previous system designs. This is certainly true for sensors (transducers) that convert mechanical forces to electrical signals and have mechanical […]
How does 3GPP Release 13 impact sensors?
The 3rd Generation Partnership Project, or 3GPP, provides seven telecommunications standard development organizations a stable environment to produce the reports and specifications that define 3GPP technologies. The organizations include Association of Radio Industries and Businesses (ARIB) (Japan), Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions (ATIS), China Communications Standards Association (CCSA), European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI), Telecommunications Standards […]
What is chromatography?
According to “Chromatography Composition Measurement,” in The Measurement, Instrumentation, and Sensors Handbook, chromatography is a technique for separating mixtures into their components. The process involves two phases. The first phase is stationary and provides a large surface area. The second phase is mobile and moves in a fixed direction relative to the stationary phase. Modern […]
