Incremental encoders offer 16 quadrature resolutions from 96 to 4096
CUI Devices’ Motion and Control Group announced the introduction of a new series to its AMT incremental encoder family. Based on the existing AMT13 series package, the new AMT13A series is not subject to silicon-related lead time constraints and can serve as a drop-in replacement for AMT13 encoder models. AMT13A encoders offer 16 quadrature resolutions from 96 to 4096 PPR, […]
ASI and SICK optimize and automate yard operations
Autonomously reversing into trailers is one of the final steps in completing fully autonomous yard operations. ASI and SICK have come together to solve this phase of autonomous yard operations. Aaron Rothmeyer, Product Manager at SICK USA, spoke on the importance of LiDAR in autonomy. “SICK recognizes that better autonomous vehicles are only possible with […]
Endress+Hauser announces expansion to its laboratory sensor portfolio
Endress+Hauser today announces the launch of five new laboratory sensors compatible with its Liquiline CML18 handheld laboratory analysis device. The Memosens CPL53E, CPL57E, CPL59E, COL37E, and CLL47E liquid analytical sensors now join the CPL51E to further amplify the company’s goals of trustworthy measurement, easy operation for end-users, and enhanced good laboratory practice (GLP). The new […]
How do you accurately measure skin color? Part 1
While discrimination based on skin color is against the law in the U.S., changes in skin color provide important information in healthcare regarding disease progression or treatment response, so accurately measuring and distinguishing skin color is essential. Skin color is also a predictor of skin cancer risk. Also, accurately measuring and matching skin color is […]
How does skin color impact biosensors?
To determine blood oxygen (arterial blood oxygen saturation (SpO2)) and pulse rate, many biosensors use the reflectance of red and infrared (and sometimes green) light. Based on photoplethysmography (PPG), an optical technique that measures blood volume variations, dual-wavelength PPG pulse oximeters noninvasively measure/calculate the arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2). An oximeter transmits radiation at a known […]
Magnetometer features field shock recovery
Bosch Sensortec announces its next-generation magnetometer, the BMM350, which provides excellent performance with low current consumption to extend battery life. It enables a wide range of new use cases, including detecting head orientation for 3D audio, and pixel latency reduction in AR/VR to improve the user experience and avoid motion sickness. In indoor navigation, the […]
UWB radar sensor for people positioning
NOVELDA announced that NOVELDA will give a preview of the people positioning and people tracking capabilities of its UWB radar sensors at CES 2023. An innovator in solutions for the audio video market has recently embedded NOVELDA’s next-generation UWB radar sensor in its smart speakers, debuting at CES. NOVELDA’s technology directs high-quality sound to wherever […]
