Instruments in smart phones such as the accelerometer, gyroscope and proximity sensors represent a potential security vulnerability, according to researchers. Instruments in smart phones such as the ...

Even if some shady character were to get hold of your smartphone, it wouldn't do them much good if they didn't know your PIN … right? Well, researchers from Singapore's Nanyang Technological ...

Imagine if your smartphone ditches you and gives away your security PIN to someone. If this happens that accessing your private details would be a piece of cake for a stranger. And to everyone’s ...

A new study out of NTU (Nanyang Technological University, Singapore) indicates that hackers could use smartphones internal sensors to crack users PIN codes. NTU researchers say that all of the tech ...

Researchers used the sensors to model which number had been pressed by its user based on how the phone was tilted and how much light is blocked by the fingers. Researchers used the sensors to model ...

Position Sensors play an important role in our daily lives. A position sensor, as the name indicates, provides feedback on the position of the measurand by detecting the presence/absence of an object ...

Designing with high-fidelity capacitive proximity sensors requires careful consideration of mechanical design, sensor placement/design, and end-application operating environments. Careful evaluation ...

[Dustin Andrews] built this add-on board which works as a proximity sensor. He wanted a standalone sensor for his Arduino projects which would use a single pin as a trigger. This lets him alert the ...

With increased automation of complex production systems, components that are capable of acquiring and transmitting information regarding the production process become necessary. Proximity sensors -- ...
