IoT sensors gather information so devices can be used remotely and data can be shared in real time. They include accelerometers, chemical sensors and cameras.
Summary Sensors and sensor networks have an important impact on meeting environmental challenges. In this chapter, the use of fiber optic sensors (FBG: fiber-optic Bragg grating) for building smart transmission network, and the use of magnetic sensors to build non-contact measurement of current to...
What is interesting is not the uses that first come to mind but rather people finding new uses for the data coming from the sensors. The accelerometers are an excellent example with a lot of innovation happening with respect to those sensor datas. Actually the camera is another go...
Capacitive touch sensors, resistive touch sensors are the best example of the touch sensor. It is used in industrial applications like switches for turning on/off lights, remote control by the air conditioner (AC), door open/close operation, elevator, and robotics, smartphones, so on. An oxim...
A smart sensor is a crucial element in the IoT and industry 4.0 due to it is communication abilities through the internet. What are the different Types of Smart Sensors? There are five main types of smart sensorsused in industrial automation. Although there are many types of special-purpose ...
IoT security also focuses on protecting connected devices — but on a broader scale. IoT devices range from sensors in industrial equipment to smart thermostats in homes. Because they’re web-enabled, these access points expand the attack surface. Plus, since they often have limited security capab...
this sensor can activate the lights once it detects you while entering into a room otherwise, they can give an alert once an intruder is trying to enter your home. These types of sensors are mainly used in homes, security systems, paper towel dispensers, phones, virtual reality systems & ga...
Users interact with the metaverse through avatars, digital representations of themselves. Avatars enable users to move, gesture, and communicate within the virtual environment. To achieve this, motion tracking technologies, such as sensors or cameras, capture the user’s movements in the physical world...
Other uses include automated door systems, smartphones, aerospace, elevator systems, and industrial automation. Sub-categories of Proximity Sensors: Inductive Sensors: Inductive proximity sensors are used for non-contact detection to find the presence of metallic objects using electromagnetic fields or a...
Vacuum Systems: Absolute pressure sensors are used in vacuum systems to monitor and control vacuum levels in applications such as semiconductor manufacturing and vacuum packaging. Barometric Pressure Measurement: Consumer devices such as smartphones and smartwatches use absolute pressure sensors to provide ...
