2. Proximity sensor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proximity_sensor

   An infrared proximity sensor Optical proximity sensor in a 2016 Samsung smartphone.A proximity sensor is a standard feature of most smartphones, disabling the touchscreen when positioned near an ear during phone calls; more recent (late 2019-early 2020) smartphones with OLED displays may have the sensor mounted under the display.

3. Inductive sensor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductive_sensor

   Since the output of an inductive sensor has two possible states, an inductive sensor is sometimes referred to as an inductive proximity switch. [2] [3] The sensor consists of an induction loop or detector coil. Most often this is physically a number of turns of insulated magnet wire wound around a high magnetic permeability core, such as a ...

4. Hall effect sensor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hall_effect_sensor

   Hall sensors may be utilized for contactless measurements of direct current in current transformers. In such a case the Hall sensor is mounted in a gap in the magnetic core around the current conductor. [24] As a result, the DC magnetic flux can be measured, and the DC in the conductor can be calculated.

5. Variable reluctance sensor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_reluctance_sensor

   A variable reluctance sensor (commonly called a VR sensor) is a transducer that measures changes in magnetic reluctance.When combined with basic electronic circuitry, the sensor detects the change in presence or proximity of ferrous objects.

6. Magnetic proximity fuze - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_proximity_fuze

   A magnetic proximity fuse was patented by P.J. Eliomarkakis, (United States Patent US2434551 of January 13, 1948) [1] although similar devices had been in service for nearly a decade. It is a type of proximity fuze that initiates a detonator in a piece of ordnance such as a land mine , naval mine , depth charge , or shell when the fuse's ...
