Abstract: This letter presents an inductive sensor based on a micromachined coil for the detection of conductive targets. The proposed sensor consists of a planar micromachined sensing coil, a signal ...

With Christmas a little over two weeks ago, one might be scrambling to find a gift for a loved one, friend, or family member. If you’re familiar with Arduino or Raspberry Pi and have a free weekend, ...

Now in its sixth year, the Cornell project team CU GeoData bridges engineering and earth sciences to design and deploy environmental sensors, including a sensor network across the Finger Lakes and a ...

From roller coasters and farm equipment to discrete and batch manufacturing, inductive sensors enable precise metal detection and automation across every industry. Learn more about their diverse ...

Where non-magnetic inductive sensing is an attractive approach. The challenges of configuring these sensors. How a new trio of sensor-interface ICs and coil-optimizer tool simplify the challenge. It ...

Northwest U.S. utility Puget Sound Energy (PSE) has joined with Norway-headquartered Heimdall Power on a dynamic line rating (DLR) pilot project in Washington state. The companies on October 22 said ...

For some, Halloween is starting to rival Christmas for setting up elaborate holiday decorations. Homeowners now spend many hours─and sometimes dollars─creating ghoulish displays of lit pumpkins, ...

Three magnet-free inductive position sensors from Renesas provide a cost-effective alternative to magnetic and optical encoders. With different coil architectures, the ICs address a wide range of ...

Melexis introduces the MLX90514, a dual-input inductive sensor IC that simultaneously processes signals from two sets of coils to compute differential or vernier angles on-chip. The inductive sensor ...

Graz, Austria–based Easelink reckons it has a better plan: Matrix Charging still has a vehicle pull in and align itself with a floor pad. But then a conductor extends down and makes magnetic contact ...

When EV owners complain about charging—as many do—they're normally grousing about the frustrations of dealing with the public network, where non-functional chargers and long lines at popular spots are ...

In addition to knowing if a neighborhood is experiencing active flooding, it helps to have a bit more data. How regularly do these events occur? Is flooding expected based on the forecast? “The sensor ...
