The WeWalk Smart Cane 2 (see figure) utilizes a collection of TDK sensors including SmartMotion MEMS sensors, SmartSound MEMS microphones, and SmartSonic Ultrasonic Time-of-Flight. Users employ the ...

A homing sensor is a device used in certain machines to detect a fixed reference point, allowing the machine to determine its exact starting position. When powered on, the machine moves until it ...

When taking pictures of the night sky, any noise picked up by the sensor can obscure the desired result. One major cause of noise in CMOS sensors is heat—even small amounts can degrade the final ...

Screws, drill bits, sewing machine parts—anything that’s tricky to scrub could be considered for ultrasonic cleaning. Some mechanics even use ultrasonic cleaners to clean parts in their shops. This is ...

Can ultrasonic technology really make a steak more tender? 🔬 In today’s experiment, we put this idea to the test using an ultrasonic cleaner, a device that vibrates 40,000 times per second to break ...

Early-stage disease diagnosis relies on the highly sensitive detection of biomarkers. Optical whispering-gallery-mode (WGM) microcavity sensors have emerged as a highly promising technology for ...

Designing a complex electronic device like a delivery drone involves juggling many choices, such as selecting motors and batteries that minimize cost while maximizing the payload the drone can carry ...
