Standex-Meder Electronics announces its new MK28 vane-operated sensors for harsh environments. These sensors combine the reed sensor and actuator magnet in the same rugged housing, and are ideal for applications in the automotive, industrial automation equipment, and robotics industries.

Toshiba Electronics Europe is pleased to announce today that it will offer a Full-HD, 1.12μm, back-side illumination CMOS image sensor featuring an integrated colour noise reduction circuit for applications including mobile phones and smart phones, PCs and tablet PCs.

Texas Instruments introduce the industry’s first image sensor receiver IC to serve as a dedicated LVDS bridge between image sensors and processors. Compared to existing FPGA-based solutions, the SN65LVDS324 lowers the BOM by 20 percent, reduces system power consumption by more than 10 percent and shrinks package size by 50 percent. It provides full HD, 1080p60 image quality in a host of video capture applications, including surveillance IP ...

Toshiba unveil the industry’s thinnest CMOS image sensor camera module with high-resolution, 13 mega pixel imaging ideal for next-generation, ultra-thin smartphones and tablet devices. The new TCM9930MD leverages an advanced image pre-processing LSI (companion) chip and a refined module structure to create a compact image sensor camera module with the industry’s lowest profile at just 4.7 mm.

New technology from Cambridge Consultants can accurately detect someone’s location indoors when GPS drops out. A number of sensors and a custom algorithm determine the location, with an accuracy of within approximately 1% of the distance travelled. Yet the technology uses low-power, low-cost sensors and the device concept is small enough to clip on a belt. It also doesn’t need any existing internal infrastructure.

New inductive proximity switches expand the wide range of GREATECS. The sensors stand out through their high quality and attractive price level. The proximity switches are available in different materials such as plastic, aluminium, stainless steel and copper nickel. The main applications for these sensors are industrial and automation technology.

Lantronix today announced the launch of the Lantronix xSenso Controller – the newest member of its xSenso analog sensor networking family, designed specifically for use in rugged and harsh environments including industrial automation, process control, manufacturing, chemicals, oil and gas industries, and many more.

Our new WB61 Tape Extension Sensor provides a measuring length up to 4000mm in a compact housing. All ASM Tape Extension Sensors have been designed to operate in harsh conditions which make them a perfect choice for the Mobile Working Machine Market as well as other harsh demanding applications.

Hamamatsu Photonics have developed a brand new series of thermopile infrared detectors, to meet the demand for low cost sensors with high S/N for gas analysis applications. The T11262-01 is a high sensitivity thermopile sensor with a D* of 1.3x108. The sensor is housed within a compact TO-18 package with a high transmittance window in the 3-5µm band.

Hamamatsu Photonics has today announced the introduction of the G11097-0707S, a brand new 128 x 128 pixel two dimensional InGaAs image sensor, that compliments the existing range of high performance linear and area image sensors.
