Data is regarded as the major value proposition of IoT. The ability to receive real time data from different sources, store it and process it into actionable insights to transform and optimize processes either in real time or not is of immense value. This is one of the reasons why...

Marktech Optoelectronics, Inc. (Marktech), a privately-held, VOSB-certified, leading designer and manufacturer of standard and custom optoelectronics components and assemblies, including ultraviolet (UV), visible (VIS), near-infrared (NIR), and short-wave infrared (SWIR) emitters,...

Melexis has designed a relative pressure sensor IC that can operate in and measure very low pressures in automotive applications. The MLX90821 can detect even the smallest vapor leaks—which is a central part of EVAP systems. The device is an SoC (system on a chip) employing MEMS...

Renesas Electronics’ new RX65N Cloud Kit provides a simple, application-ready platform for the development of IoT sensor devices which connect to the cloud via Amazon Web Services (AWS). The kit features an RX65N microcontroller, on-board Wi-Fi® wireless connectivity, environmental,...

Marktech Optoelectronics has announced the expansion of its surface-mount family of SWIR reflective sensors. The sensors are suitable for position sensing and detection applications, including card, barcode, edge sensing and money bill readers. Marktech surface-mount SWIR reflective...

The VCNL4020C is a fully integrated biosensor and ambient light sensor. Fully integrated means that the infrared emitter is included in the package. It has 16 bit resolution. It includes a signal processing IC and features standard I2C communication interface. It features an interrupt...

The Optoelectronics group of Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today introduced a new proximity sensor that offers a sensing distance of up to 30 cm. Combining an IR emitter, photo detectors for proximity, amplifiers, and ADC circuitry into a single package, the Vishay...

A new sensor system developed by Fraunhofer researchers and their partners could help safety agencies identify wrongdoers who covertly discharge hazardous wastewater into sewers to avoid specific disposal costs. By and large, safety agencies currently have no means of detecting this...
