Littelfuse, Inc. has launched two new tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR)-based magnetic angle sensors — the LF53466 and ...

A novel magnetic sensor for the first time detects tiny fluctuations in a small magnetic field -- even when there is a strong magnet right beside it. The sensor can thus be utilized even in places ...

With a clever design, researchers have solved eddy-current damping in macroscopic levitating systems, paving the way for a ...

Because optical encoders are functionally similar, “resolution” is often used as a main characteristic for magnetic encoders, a device providing the angle of a magnet attached to a mechanical shaft ...

Allegro Microsystems, LLC rolled out the A1266, a unique 3D omnipolar magnetic sensor IC integrating a combination of vertical and traditional planar Hall-effect sensor ICs that can detect magnetic ...

A newly developed thin, flexible magnetic sensor could heighten human perception, and it's pliable enough to be crumpled and scrunched while retaining functionality. Michelle Starr is CNET's science ...

Figure 1a shows a slotted optical switch. An LED is mounted in a plastic housing, facing a phototransistor, but separated by a gap. If something moves into the gap, it blocks the light path between ...

ams AG introduced the AS5600,a magnetic rotary position sensor which makes it easier than ever before to replace a traditional potentiometer with a more reliable contactless alternative. ams AG ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. In the seemingly endless quest for higher motor performance and improved system cost efficiencies, motor manufacturers ...

It hasbeen a long-held belief in scientific circles that many creatures navigateacross land, through water, and through the skies using the Earth’s magnetic field forguidance. Now scientists and ...
