Gems Sensors and Controls, has launched an innovative range of magnetostrictive level sensors. The new XT-1000 sensors have been designed for use in a wide range of OEM and end user applications, providing continuous operation with extremely high levels of precision and reliability.
New Range Of MEMS Rate Sensors Deliver Better Than 1 Percent Per Hour In Run Drift
ETLG Inertial is introducing a new high performance range of digital quartz MEMS, single axis rate sensors designed for demanding military and commercial applications. Designated the SDD3000 the three models in this range are manufactured by US based Systron Donner Inertial The three models have bias of 1, 3 and 10º/hour with calibration every 20 years.
Second-generation Parking Assistant Bay Parking Also Possible With Bosch Technology Making Drivers’ Lives Easier
Parking, and the manoeuvring that goes with it, is still a risky undertaking. Using accident data from the AZT, a German accident research institute, Bosch accident researchers conclude that roughly half of all German traffic accidents involving damage to property are a result of shunts during parking. And the fact that modern cars are becoming increasingly streamlined does not help matters, since this also restricts drivers’ field of vision. T...
New Bosch Mid-range Radar Sensor
Bosch is currently readying a new mid-range radar sensor (MRR) for series production. It works in the same way as the current LRR3 long-range radar sensor in the 77 GHz frequency band, which means it can record the distance and position of obstacles with great precision, but is far less costly. When installed in the front of the vehicle, the new sensor has a range of up to 160 metres and a detection angle of 45 degrees. “The new mid-range radar...
Reducing The Risk Of Rear-end Collisions
In future, the Bosch predictive emergency braking system will also function at low speeds. If the system detects an impending rear-end collision, it now automatically triggers optimum emergency braking even if the vehicle is travelling at less than 30 kilometres per hour. This function often helps prevent rear-end collisions altogether. The “Centre for Technology” of German insurance company Allianz calculated the benefits of such emergency b...
New Collision Avoidance System By Melexis and Based on SoftKinetic Technology to be Demonstrated at The International Motor Show in Frankfurt (IAA)
Melexis is proud to introduce a new solution based on Melexis’ range-sensing technology , licensed from SoftKinetic. The solution will be demonstrated at the International Motor Show next week in Frankfurt, Germany. The optical based technology, DepthSense, was invented by SoftKinetic, and subsequent advances and developments have been the result of close cooperation between SoftKinetic and Melexis. Melexis integrates DepthSense in solution...
