Accurate signal conditioning and high-resolution measurements are no longer limited to industrial or instrumentation applications. Designers of portable consumer- electronic equipment also need to ...

Sensors are in widespread use, either as part of a microcontroller or separately in an embedded system. However, one of the more efficient circuit implementations combines a high-performance analog-to ...

Tick tracer. Glow meter. Sniffer. They go by many names, but capacitive voltage sensors are all designed to do one thing: detect the presence of voltage in a wire or piece of equipment without ...

Last month we fielded a question about a fault code a reader had been trying to repair for more than a year. To recap, the Corvette in question, a ’96 model, had a recurring P0171 code, or “System Too ...

Researchers have developed a sensor array design technology inspired by the human auditory system. By mimicking the human ear's ability to distinguish sounds through tonotopy, this innovative sensor ...

Sensors are increasingly important in mobile devices. Combining data from cameras, microphones, inertial sensors, beacons (e.g., GPS) and proximity-based sensors can greatly improve the accuracy and ...

Computers can only do what they are programmed to do. If they get garbage in, they put garbage out. In an automotive engine control computer (called a Powertrain Control Module or PCM; what’s ...
