‘Optical Mouse Sensor’
An Electronicstalk guide
Start with the news release
LTC6801 device monitors up to 12 battery cells from
Linear Technology, which we summarised at the time by saying "Linear Technology has announced the LTC6801, a high-voltage battery stack fault monitor that operates without a microprocessor and without the need for optocouplers or isolators. ".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Deposition Sciences provides LWIR bandpass filters from
Deposition Sciences: "Deposition Sciences provides long wavelength infrared (LWIR) bandpass filters with good operation at any temperature between ambient and 10-deg K.".
In March 2010, we covered the news from Energy Micro
- take a look at Energy Micro offers starter kit for EFM32 Gecko
which says: "Energy Micro has brought out a low-cost starter kit for its EFM32 Gecko microcontroller family. ".
Take a look also at the news release from Adept Scientific, Adept adds Tag4M Wi-Fi sensor tag to product range,
as well as Touch screen integrated at drive-through kiosk from Zytronic,
and Magnetic sensor enables long detection distance from Alps Electric.
