Your car's tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) can fail, but you can still drive. Learn why sensors break and what to do ...

Window sensors are a critical part of any home security system. When cameras fail, a window sensor becomes your last line of defense. Install them on all your windows, and you will know when an ...

The hardware coming out of [Dr. Peter Jansen]’s lab is the craziest stuff you can imagine. He’s built a CT scanner out of plywood, and an MRI machine out of many, many turns of enamel wire. Perhaps ...

The sensors in your smart device are a big part of what make it, well, smart. Sensors allow our devices to understand context— they tell phones where they are in space and how we’re using them. This ...

A TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) sensor is a device that is installed in a vehicle's tires to monitor the air pressure and temperature of the tires. The primary function of the TPMS sensor is ...

Thermopile sensors offer a reliable way to measure temperature without physical contact, making them ideal for real-world applications where speed, safety, and precision matter. Whether you are ...

Sometimes we need a non-contact liquid level sensor. There are several ways to build that, but the easiest is to try an optical liquid level sensor. You may already have an idea in mind since you are ...

Tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) are relatively new additions to your car’s suite of sensors. At least if you’re old enough to remember when keeping an eye on tire pressures was boasted about ...

Haptic sensors have been around for a while now and come in various forms. Regardless of the type of haptic technology utilized, they all work around similar principles of using a combination of force ...

Application characteristics help specifiers choose the best discrete sensor type. Industrial automation systems depend on sensors to detect what is going on with machinery and products for effective ...
