Vibration sensors are sensors for measuring, displaying, and analyzing linear velocity, displacement and proximity, or acceleration. Vibration — however subtle and unnoticed by human senses — is a ...

Shock and impact sensors are used to detect and record shock or impact to a product or package. Shock sensors represent a subtype of inertial sensors, which includes accelerometers and vibration ...

Both sensors measure rate of change; they just measure the rate of change for different things. In practice, that means that an accelerometer will measure the directional movement of a device but ...

Sensors are devices that detect and quantify physical aspects of the world around us. The measurement can either be read directly or converted to a signal for processing by electrical, hydraulic ...

You asked for it, and now we've delivered. This week sees the debutof the restyled Computing - dedicated to carrying more news and analysisthan ever before. As part of the redesign of Computing ...

Optical sensors are a broad class of device for detecting light intensity. This can be just a simple component for notifying when ambient light levels rise above or fall below a prescribed level ...

Once considered an essential part of the auto industry's high-tech future, lidar sensors are now often seen as optional components with uncertain prospects. The sensors, which use lasers to depict ...
