11Proximity sensor — A proximity sensor is a sensor able to detect the presence of nearby objects without any physical contact. A proximity sensor often emits an electromagnetic or electrostatic field, or a beam of electromagnetic radiation (infrared, for instance),… …
12Hall effect sensor — A Hall effect sensor is a transducer that varies its output voltage in response to changes in magnetic field. Hall sensors are used for proximity switching, positioning, speed detection, and current sensing applications.In its simplest form, the… …
13Wireless sensor network — WSN redirects here. For the metasyntax, see Wirth syntax notation. Typical multi hop wireless sensor network architecture A wireless sensor network (WSN) consists of spatially distributed autonomous sensors to monitor physical or environmental… …
14Semantic Sensor Web — Sensors are distributed across the globe leading to an avalanche of data about our environment. The rapid development and deployment of sensor technology involves many different types of sensors, both remote and in situ, with such diverse… …
15Mass flow sensor — A mass airflow sensor. A mass air flow sensor is used to find out the mass flowrate of air entering a fuel injected internal combustion engine. The air mass information is necessary for the engine control unit (ECU) to balance and deliver the… …
16Fine Guidance Sensor — The Fine Guidance Sensor (FGS) is an interferometric instrument on board the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) that provides high precision pointing information as input to the observatory s attitude control systems. There will also be a fine guidance …
17Active pixel sensor — An active pixel sensor (APS) is an image sensor consisting of an integrated circuit containing an array of pixel sensors, each pixel containing a photodetector and an active amplifier. There are many types of active pixel sensors including the… …
18Heat flux sensor — A heat flux sensor is a commonly used name for a transducer generating a signal that is proportional to the local heat flux. This heat flux can have different origins; in principle convective , radiative as well as conductive heat can be measured …
19Contact image sensor — CIS of a flatbed scanner A4 USB CIS flat …
20Image sensor format — In digital photography, the image sensor format is the shape and size of the image sensor.The image sensor format of a digital camera determines the angle of view of a particular lens when used with a particular camera. In particular, image… …
