The User Interface (UI) implementation has evolved over the past few years. The addition of electronics to implement capacitive user interface has enabled system designers to create differentiated ...

Motion sensors can be built into individual luminaires or installed remotely to detect surrounding persons or objects. LED luminaires with inbuilt sensors are becoming increasingly popular and readily ...

Thanks to the iPhone 4S teardown at iFixit, there may now be an explanation for why Apple restricts the Siri intelligent assistant feature to the iPhone 4S. Apparently, it is indeed a hardware related ...

Light-emitting diodes -- LEDs -- can do way more than illuminate your living room. These light sources are useful microelectronics too. Smartphones, for example, can use an LED proximity sensor to ...

For color sensing in closed environments with no IR light sources, the TCS3x71 Series applications include closed-loop color temperature feedback control in solid-state lighting (SSL) and LED RGB ...

Sensor manufacturer Ams launched this week a new in-display ambient light and proximity sensor solution for smartphones equipped with OLED displays which essentially makes those modules invisible.

[mircemk] shows how to create a simple non-contact proximity sensor using little more than an Arduino Nano board, and a convenient software library intended to measure the value of capacitors. The ...

Understanding acoustic feedback in hearing aids. Power consumption challenges in hearing aids. Functionality integration and its impact on energy consumption. The benefits of using photoreflectors for ...

Time-of-flight (ToF) sensors open up new application areas and use cases for proximity sensing and presence detection technologies, and these sensors can add valuable functionalities and intelligence ...

Today, most modern Android devices are kitted out with a bunch of sensors. You can use this information in lots of different ways – whether it’s monitoring light levels so your application can ...

LEDs are used in all manner of projects and devices from living room lights to microelectronics. One example in a common device is the use of an LED proximity sensor in many smartphones. That sensor ...
