Based on the table above of the company's revenue segment breakdown, the company's two main segments include its Power Integrated Circuits (PIC) segment which encompasses products such as ...

Quantum physics: The human body is controlled by electrical impulses in, for example, the brain, the heart and nervous system. These electrical signals create tiny magnetic fields, which doctors could ...

The types of magnetic sensors that are currently available. How the magnetic sensors work. Applications for the different magnetic sensors. Position sensors enable a variety of functions and controls ...

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 ...

Here’s a Dagwood that is sure to make any engineer’s mouth water. Scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have discovered that a carefully built “magnetic sandwich” ...

If shrunken down to micron size, a compass needle could wobble. (Courtesy: iStockphoto/tobias machhaus) A tiny magnetic needle just 10 μm long could be used to create a magnetic-field sensor that – if ...

Many birds have a compass in their eyes. Their retinas are loaded with a protein called cryptochrome, which is sensitive to the Earth’s magnetic fields. It’s possible that the birds can literally see ...

A variety of migrating birds, as well as bats and even hamsters successfully use a ‘magnetic sense’ to navigate on long journeys. Now, a new type of sensor developed by scientists in the US could make ...

Sensors help microprocessor-based systems find their bearings. Where would embedded systems be without them? Sensors provide the windows through which microprocessor-based systems can observe their ...
