Researchers at the University of Arizona found that it takes only two to four hours for a virus to spread through an office, hotel or healthcare facility after a doorknob or tabletop is contaminated.1 To help organizations reduce the spread of infection, ATEK Access Technologies, LLC today released the new and improved Larco U-WAV touchless sensing wall switch, a sensor switch designed for activation of automatic doors, lighting controls or call points.
A smart sensor that predicts homeowners’ movements and living patterns to help reduce their fuel bills has been developed by experts from the Energy Academy at Heriot Watt University.
Specialists at the Autonomous Metropolitan University (UAM) of Mexico developed a system that achieved detecting depression in older adults, through monitoring their daily routine. This technology can be used as an auxiliary tool for the care of elderly people, who for various reasons, such as family abandonment of or a chronic condition, tend to fall into a depressed state.
STMicroelectronics, a global semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics applications, has revealed a new highly accurate optical range-finding module based on FlightSense(TM) Time-of-Flight technology that offers designers superior distance-measurement capability.
Microchip Technology Inc., a leading provider of microcontroller, mixed-signal, analog and Flash-IP solutions, today announced the expansion of its Human Interface Input Sensing Solutions portfolio with the introduction of the 3DTouchPad, a PC peripheral and world’s first Development Platform for 2D multi-touch and 3D gestures.
SMK Corporation has developed a touch controller equipped with proximity and hover sensing functions with a maximum proximity sensing distance of 100mm and maximum hover distance of 20mm.
Gesture recognition will gradually replace today's multifunctional touch screens with the result that the market for sensors and related components used in gestural control systems will grow from $770 million in 2014 to about $3.5 billion in 2019. This according to a just-released report from NanoMarkets, "Gestural Recognition: Sensors, Cameras and Other Technology Opportunities—2014."
