Here we describe an electronic system that uses a dedicated water-level sensor to switch off the pump motor as soon as the ...

Device uses ultrasonic waves to harvest water 45x faster – Credit: Ikra Iftekhar / MIT (CC BY-NC-ND 3.0) Even in desert conditions, there exists some level of humidity that, with the right material, ...

Carlo Gavazzi has launched three new series of ultrasonic sensors with integrated IO-Link communication: the UA12, UA18 and UA30 ASD..IO Series. These sensors feature a compact design with reduced ...

MIT engineers have developed a new, rapid method for extracting clean drinking water from sponge-like atmospheric water harvesting (AWH) materials. Standard AWH systems rely on sorbents — materials ...

Ultrasonic sensors measure the distance between a target and the sensor using high-frequency sound waves that are inaudible to humans. The process is simple: the sensor emits ultrasonic waves, which ...

A new category of sensing technology transforms mobile robot vision from 2D to 3D, improves safety performance and provides 50-80% cost savings compared to traditional, LiDAR-based systems and sensor ...

LOWCOUNTRY, S.C. (WCIV) — Flooding is one thing that residents can count on here in the Lowcountry, whether it’s coastal flooding with high tide cycles or freshwater flooding after heavy rain or ...

As robots increasingly enter human spaces, robotics companies will need to think about safety differently than they did when robots were largely siloed from their human counterparts. Sonair thinks its ...

I’ve just come across a no-name non-contact, high-precision 80 GHz mmWave radar sensor for liquid level detection with a 40m range, ±5mm accuracy, and Modbus communication over UART. The 0.15m to 40m ...

The Secret Service said the boats the agency uses for security are usually motorized and need deeper waters to operate. By Lisa Friedman and Eileen Sullivan Reporting from Washington Military ...

CONWAY, SC (WMBF) - The city of Conway is getting new technology to help residents and businesses when water levels start to rise. During Monday’s city council meeting, councilmembers approved plans ...
