A wireless sensor, here gauging the alignment of a new car body on an assembly line, coupled with a tower light can immediately notify technicians when problems arise. Wireless photoelectric sensors ...

In a new study, researchers describe a novel approach for a wireless communication network that can efficiently transmit, receive and decode data from thousands of microelectronic chips that are each ...

Sensors networks are gaining widespread use in factories, industrial complexes, commercial and residential buildings, agricultural settings, and urban areas, serving to improve manufacturing ...

Over the last few decades, wearable electronics have become more common. While one major benefit of these wearable sensors is the low level of user discomfort, another important aspect is the scope ...

They may be modules. Or motes. Or even smart dust. Whatever the form, wireless “sensor nets” will make a heavy imprint on the industry. Rapid-fire advances in "sensor nets"—wireless sensor modules ...

Consider a smart home display that uses Wi-Fi, Bluetooth mesh and local voice recognition. The embedded processor manages the wireless protocols, runs the voice model and powers the user interface.

Wireless sensors have become ubiquitous in modern society, found in everything from RFID tags to GPS tracking systems, automatic meter reading (AMR/AMI), mesh networks, system control and data ...
