The latest Electronics Weekly product news on sensors, measuring factors such as acceleration, orientation, pressure, humidity and temperature.
Mouser has announced it is stocking Murata Electronics’ SCH16T-K10 6-DOF gyroscope and accelerometer. The SCH16T-K10 is a combined gyroscope and accelerometer. The six degrees of freedom IMU (inertial measurement unit) is the latest in three-axis angular rate and three-axis inertial measurement unit , part of Murata Electronics’ six-axis series. The sensor is based on 3D MEMS technology and uses mixed ...
SensiBel has created a couple of evaluation kits for its tiny SBM100B laser-based microphones. Evaluation kit Aurora (right) has two microphones and is intended to be used for stereo recording applications. It acts as a USB Audio Class 2.0 device, and there are two versions: one with I2S interfaced microphones, and a second with PDM interface versions of the microphones. ...
Innatera, the Dutch specialist in neuromorphic processors for ultra-low-power intelligence at the sensor edge, and 42 Technology (42T), a UK-based product development and manufacturing innovation consultancy, are partnering to accelerate neuromorphic adoption in consumer, industrial, and manufacturing applications. By combining Innatera’s spiking neural processors with 42T’s experience in complex industrial systems, the collaboration will focus on developing edge AI solutions ...
Lodestar Space has received £30,000 funding through the UK Space Agency’s Space Ecosystem Commercialisation Programme (SECP). This is to accelerate development of its pioneering on-orbit sensing system. The award was delivered by Space South Central, the UK regional space cluster. The R&D grant will fund the integration and testing of a new LiDAR sensor – part of a project named ...
STMicroelectronics has created a 100V capable precision current-sense amplifier with 120dB rejection of PWM signals. Called TSC240 and capable of bi-directional sensing, it will also work with its inputs all the way down to -4V, allowing it to work on nominal 12V, 24V and 48V systems – including in automotive environments as it is AEC-Q100 qualified. Differential input limits are ...
HBK has created a six-axis force sensor for industrial automation and instrumentation. MCS10-002-6C can capture up to three forces (tension and compression) and three moments (clockwise and anti-clockwise) in different combinations, “with accuracy class up to 0.1, making it ideal for control tasks in production and assembly lines, and automated test benches”, said the company. The sensor, which measures 68mm ...
LightRanger 14 Click is a new optical sensor from MIKROE whose Click add-on boards enable developers to provide proof-of-concept, then prototype and code new embedded projects. LightRanger 14 Click provides high-precision distance and depth measurement capabilities using direct time-of-flight (dToF) technology. “This new Click board is ideal for applications such as laser autofocus (LDAF), robotics, SLAM, gesture recognition, and people ...
Sensor technology and manufacturing advancements are revolutionising healthcare and diagnostics, says Barney Mitchell. Improvements in manufacturing precision have resulted in smaller, more efficient sensors. Integrating these advances with communication technologies, specialists or automated systems can interpret diagnostic data remotely, bridging geographical and economic divides. Light-based technologies Progress in light-based technologies, including lasers, LEDs and photodiodes, has been critical in transforming ...
Melexis claims to have produced the world’s first surface-mount device (SMD) designed specifically for temperature monitoring of critical components in electric vehicle (EV) powertrain applications. The MLX90637 brings the benefits of automated SMD assembly and highly accurate non-contact temperature sensing to the automotive sector. The MLX90637 is designed for critical temperature monitoring applications within electric vehicles (EVs), such as inverters, ...
Mouser Electronics has teamed up with Tandem Ventures to develop a prototype underwater seed harvester to restore seagrass in UK waters. The distributor supplied components for the prototype underwater harvester, which collects seagrass seed 100-times faster than manual harvesting. The seeds are then grown and replanted to restore the seagrass stocks. Seagrass naturally protects coastlines from erosion by stabilising ocean ...
