From Sharp’s datasheet (Sheet No.: E4-A01501EN), GP2Y1010AU0F is a dust sensor optical sensing system. An infrared light emitting diode (IRED) and a phototransistor are diagonally arranged into this ...

Those sensors are finicky and a few problems during testing prompted him to look at a redundant system. Right now he’s experimenting with adding an optical mouse sensor to the autonomous vehicle.

A flexible, ultrathin optical sensor that uses carbon nanotubes to convert light into electrical signals has been unveiled by Rei Kawabata and colleagues. The team at Japan’s Osaka University says ...

ABB has agreed to acquire Whitby Ontario-based Real Tech, a leading supplier of innovative optical sensor technology that enables real-time water monitoring and testing. Through the acquisition, ABB ...

Imaging technology has come a long way in the last few decades, from tiny lensless cameras that capture images with a single pixel to high-speed optical sensors that process over two million frames ...

The researchers built a prototype of the sheet-type optical sensor and tested its ability to sense heat from objects like human fingers or wires as well as glucose flowing through tubes. They found ...

Optical sensors can provide either digital or analog outputs. With digital outputs, relative position is determined by counting pulses, and pulse width determines the resolution.
