1300-1650nm light source and photodetector integrated into one package SHIMOTSUKE-SHI, Japan--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kyoto Semiconductor Co., Ltd. (President and CEO: Yoshihisa Shinya, Headquarters: ...
A typical reflective object sensor consists of an infrared light emitter diode (IRED) and an NPN silicon phototransistor mounted side-by-side on parallel axes in a compact black plastic housing. The ...
Proximity sensors are common enough in automation projects that we hardly give them a second thought — pick something with specs that match the job and move on. But they can be fussy to get adjusted ...
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 ...
An 880-nm AlGaAs infrared emitter (IRED) and a NPN open-collector photo device (photo-IC) are mounted on a custom, four-leaded TO-72 header to make up the CL1700 Reflective Object Sensor. The IRED ...
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 ...
It has the capability to measure shiny, reflective and transparent surfaces, such as glass, for example, for automated optical inspection, for manufacturers of mobile phones, camera and eyewear lenses ...
Over the past few years, semiconductor companies have increasingly focused on the medical device market. Here, an emerging trend is the increase of home-managed care versus inpatient therapy — in turn ...
