Robotic designs that operate autonomously or alongside human workers offer convenience, efficiency and accuracy, greatly benefiting the manufacturing and industrial sectors. Here, monitoring motor ...

One of the primary ways that gyroscopic motion can be applied is in the monitoring and/or maintaining of the orientation of an object. A broad array of engineering applications are based on gyroscopic ...

Sensors help microprocessor-based systems find their bearings. Where would embedded systems be without them? Sensors provide the windows through which microprocessor-based systems can observe their ...

ADI has announced an IC that can not only measure the angle of a nearby rotating magnet, but can count up to 46 complete turns even when the chip has no power. For those who like puzzles, look away ...

TDK is aiming at automotive and industrial 360° magnetic angle sensing in high-reliability systems with a tunnel-magnetoresistance (TMR) IC. TAS8240 is designed to operate next to a rotating magnet ...
