A team of researchers studying the uncertainties associated with a phenomenon known as cosmic birefringence has developed a method to reduce uncertainties in its observational measurements, according ...

Abstract: An intensity-modulated active intracavity rotation angle sensor was demonstrated based on a simple balloon-type fiber. The sensor leverages macrobending-induced loss, modulated by torsional ...

Energy Focus has been granted a patent for an apparatus that determines the angle of a handle on a pipe bender. The device includes a sensor to measure orientation angle and a display to show the ...

A special type of brushless motor is called a limited-angle torquer (LAT). LATs are constrained to produce torque through a rotation angle of less than 180°. But they are widely used to operate ...

Scott Milne, Product Line Director for Linear and Angle Sensor ICs at Allegro MicroSystems, introduces the A1332 and A1334 product overview. These devices are 360º angle sensor ICs that provide ...

The AS5132 is a system-on-chip, combining integrated Hall elements, an analog front end and digital signal processing in a single device. June 6, 2012 - AMS announces AS5132 magnetic rotary position ...

Automation.com, October 2010 By Mark Howard, Zettlex Traditional rotary encoders can be readily fitted to shaft diameters of less than 2 inches, but what happens if your design needs a much larger ...
