The reflective properties of plastic make it a notorious offender in this regard. The problem even extends to those objects covered in shrink wrap. Polarizing filters help block false readings from ...

Operating at distances from 2 mm to 40 mm, the 6 mm x 3.76 mm x 3.9 mm, surface-mount TCND5000 reflective optical sensor integrates an IR emitter and PIN photodiode in a single package. The device is ...

Self-driving sensor startup Aeva Technologies, founded by former Apple engineers, said its sensor can detect other vehicles from beyond 500m and pedestrians from a distance of more than 350m. Oppo F17 ...

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 ...

Once you have a track and a kart to race on it, what’s missing? A lap counter that can give your lap times in hardcopy, obviously! That’s what led [the_anykey] to create the Arduino-based Lap Timer to ...
