  2. Slotted optical switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slotted_optical_switch

    The slotted optical switch, sometimes known as opto switch or optical switch but not to be confused with the optical component, is a device comprising a photoemitter (e.g. LED) and a photodetector (e.g. photodiode) mounted in a single package so that the photoemitter normally illuminates the photodetector, but an opaque object can be inserted in a slot between them so as to break the beam.

  3. Electro-optical sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electro-optical_sensor

    An optical sensor can measure the changes from one or several light beams. When a change occurs, the light sensor operates as a photoelectric trigger and therefore either increases or decreases the electrical output. An optical switch enables signals in optical fibers or integrated optical circuits to be switched selectively between circuits ...

  7. Capacitive sensing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitive_sensing

    Since the parasitic capacitance of the sensor is related to the electric field's (E-field) path to ground, it is important to choose a ground plane that limits the concentration of E-field lines with no conductive object present. Designing a capacitance sensing system requires first picking the type of sensing material (FR4, Flex, ITO, etc.).

    Pizza Hut has been losing its luster ever since the good old days of salad bars, Pac-man tables, and red plastic drink cups. Customers are looking for better value, and chains like the Hut are ...

  9. Photoelectric sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photoelectric_sensor

    Conceptual through-beam system to detect unauthorized access to a secure door. If the beam is interrupted, the detector triggers an alarm. A photoelectric sensor is a device used to determine the distance, absence, or presence of an object by using a light transmitter, often infrared, and a photoelectric receiver. They are largely used in ...
