A magnetometer is a device that measures magnetism: the direction, strength, or relative change of a magnetic field at a ...

It is often advantageous to have a single sensor monitor more than one feedback parameter. This is now possible in the case of a linear-position sensor that can track as many as 20 moving positions ...

A new position-sensing solution comprising an IC, magnet, and calibration software promises to maintain higher performance while ensuring affordability in robotic joints. It does that by reducing the ...

Closed-loop motion designs in aerospace, semiconductor, automotive, military, and medical manufacturing, as well as oil-and-gas exploration and production, require repeatable and reliable measurement ...

Your Android phone hides powerful sensors that already handle navigation, security, and automation, but rarely get used ...

Closed-loop motor control generally requires sensors that accurately determine the position of the motor rotor to effectively implement communication of the excitation for the windings (an exception ...

This brief tutorial explains how the “Wiegand effect” can be used as a reliable, low-cost, energy-harvesting system to power ...
