A typical reflective object sensor consists of an infrared light emitter diode (IRED) and an NPN silicon phototransistor mounted side-by-side on parallel axes in a compact black plastic housing. The ...

Driving at night might be a scary challenge for a new driver, but with hours of practice it soon becomes second nature. For self-driving cars, however, practice may not be enough because the lidar ...

Pacer Components offers a sensor which is available with three different optical technologies, infrared, visible red and VCSEL in the same common package. This gives the design engineer tremendous ...

Sensors adhering to through-beam, diffuse, or retro-reflective sensor principles offer you choices to optimize performance in various environmental and ambient lighting conditions. Demanding ...

In a recent paper published in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, researchers revealed the development of highly reflective black paint, utilizing titanium dioxide, to enhance the visibility of dark ...

Simply put, sensors are the eyes and ears of industrial automation. Regardless of the application, automation is simply not possible in today’s manufacturing process without sensors. There are many ...

Once you have a track and a kart to race on it, what’s missing? A lap counter that can give your lap times in hardcopy, obviously! That’s what led [the_anykey] to create the Arduino-based Lap Timer to ...
