Review of techniques that can be used to isolate motors (and heavy inductive loads) from driver and sense circuitry.

Infrared (IR) proximity sensor solutions using photo-reflectors, photo interrupters and proximity detection as a peripheral function.

A look at today's sensor solutions which provide greater sensitivity, superior temperature range, and faster response times.

The world depends on fiber-optic links: from phone links around the globe to the backbone network of the Internet, fiber-optic cabling carries millions of megabits every day and this is increasing.

The industrial lighting space is one where well-defined light types and colors are used for specific tasks.

Robots are now able to perform an amazing number of tasks, many of which can be traced directly to improvements in sensor technology over the past several years.

In a previous article on liquid level sensing we discussed techniques and products that can be used to sense fluid levels and limits through electromechanical switches.
