“We identify with the people we serve,” says Jim Taylor. “We would never patronize them. Myanmar’s farmers want to catch up to the rest of the world. Our job is to help them.” Jim Taylor and Debbie ...

Proactive Practices packages lessons from the work of Ideo.org, Proximity Designs, and Mass Design Group so that anyone can understand how to use design to solve global problems. It’s not uncommon for ...

Two new subsystem reference designs from Maxim Integrated Products provide very accurate, low-power optical proximity sensing and enhance distributed control with a compact digital-input hub. The ...

Proximity sensing based on infrared signal acquisition and processing typically requires two parts to form the optical front end: an infrared LED and an optical sensor. The infrared LED beams infrared ...

Proximity sensors detect objects without physical contact. Most proximity sensors emit an electromagnetic field or beam and look for changes in the field. The object being sensed is called a target.

STMicroelectronics' TMOS sensors handle presence sensing using a 5- to 20-µm passive IR sensor. This provides more accurate results as well as information about the distance rather than just a basic ...

SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Neonode Inc., (NASDAQ: NEON), the optical touch technology company, will unveil today its new high-performance Proximity Sensing solutions that can either be ...

The VCNL3020 proximity sensor from Vishay Intertechnology combines an IR emitter, photo-pin-diode, signal-processing IC, and 16-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) in a 4.85- by 2.35- by 0.83-mm ...
