‘Proximity Sensor’
An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
Thermometers feature advanced signal processing from
Ircon, which we summarised at the time by saying "Ircon has introduced the Modline 6 Series of infrared thermometers with advanced signal processing and background-reflected energy compensation capabilities. ".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release CMOS digital photo IC for colour sensing from
Hamamatsu Photonics : "Hamamatsu Photonics has introduced a 12-bit digital output colour sensor photo IC. ".
In November 2009, we covered the news from Sherborne Sensors
- take a look at Sherborne announces MEMS inclinometers
which says: "Sherborne Sensors has announced the launch of the T700 series, a high-precision range of compact, DC-operated solid-state MEMS inclinometers. ".
Take a look also at the news release from SGS SA - Industrial Services, SGS offers acoustic emission testing package,
as well as PCB sensor measures internal ballistics of guns from PCB Piezotronics,
and Rittal's PSM measures power consumption per socket from Rittal.
