GreenPeak Technologies today announced the launch of the new GP570 chip that will allow the development of low cost motion-enabled remote controls, addressing the growing demand for smarter and intuitive navigation of interactive entertainment services offered by operators.

Hamamatsu Photonics introduce the new C10820 InGaAs linear image sensor driver board. Designed to control the G9494 high speed image sensor series, the C10820 features simple operation through its CameraLink interface, and requires only digital inputs for the start and clock pulses. Additionally, just +5V and +15V supply voltages are needed for the pulse generator and power supply respectively.

Hamamatsu Photonics introduce the high speed G10768-1024D InGaAs linear image sensors and the new C10854 multichannel detector head to meet increasing industrial requirements to measure foreign bodies on-line in the near infrared range (wavelength range from 800 nm to 1700 nm).

A common challenge for current high end thermometer guns is their sensitivity to fast temperature changes in their environment. A stabilization period of up to ½ hour in a new environment is often necessary to achieve accurate measurements. The new MLX90616ESF-HCA thermopile sensor with integrated electronic stabilization function uses proprietary Melexis technology to reduce the stabilization period to less than half a minute.

STMicroelectronics has expanded its motion-sensing portfolio with the addition of the market’s smallest three-axis digital-output gyroscope. ST’s L3G3200D enables advanced motion sensing in ever-shrinking form factors of next-generation mobile phones, tablets and other smart consumer devices, by reducing the package size by almost half over current-generation sensors.

The ALC03 miniature in-line tension/compression load cell, which was designed for a Sports Technology application although it has application in many fields where a robust sensor of small size is required.

Lambda Photometrics are proud to release the latest generation of VeriSens vision sensors from Baumer, who sets new standards of operating simplicity and dependability. Three new ranges of VeriSens provide optimal solutions for various applications in automation systems.

Sensortechnics’ LBA series offers differential low pressure sensors based on thermal mass flow measurement of air through a micro-flow channel integrated within the silicon sensor chip. The sensors are ideal for differential pressure flow measurement where the pressure drop across a flow element is a measure of the volumetric flow rate. For high performance medical respiratory devices it is essential to detect very small flows around the zero f...

From our foundation of innovative and successful auto-motive micro-machined sensing products, the Bosch SMG06x angular rate sensor family is our improved second generation gyroscope for rollover applications. The SMG06x is a micro-machined gyroscope for the detection of x-axis (x) angular rate for in car safety applications, such as rollover control. Its design and quality standards make the SMG06x the right product for passenger safety s...

Microchip announces the MCP9808 silicon temperature sensor, which serves a broad range of applications by guaranteeing high accuracy of 0.5 degrees from -20 to +100 degrees Celsius, combined with high temperature resolution of 12 bits (0.0625 degrees Celsius/LSB). The MCP9808 comes in small MSOP and 2x3 mm DFN 8-pin packages, for space-constrained applications, and additional features include shutdown, an under/over-temperature monitor and a cri...
