I recently met Dr. Dave Horsley, CTO and co-founder of Chirp Microsystems. This is a company that was created in 2013 after incubating with Skydeck at Berkeley and the government-based SBIR program.

Time-of-flight (ToF) sensors open up new application areas and use cases for proximity sensing and presence detection technologies, and these sensors can add valuable functionalities and intelligence ...

Ultrasonics or ultrasound is a radar-like system that uses ultrasonic signals at frequencies above those typical for human hearing, usually above 16 to 20 kHz. The 40- to 70-kHz range tends to be most ...

There is a lot of buzz about electromagnetic (EM) detection and ranging sensor technology, which encompass radar, lidar, infrared (IR), ultra-wide bandwidth (UWB), and many others. However, there are ...

For many years, one of the most common solutions for saving energy has been to “turn out the lights and dial down the thermostat.” It’s a given that unoccupied space is one of the biggest energy ...

Engineers in the US have developed a fully integrated wearable ultrasound system for deep tissue monitoring that works when subjects are in motion. A wearable ultrasonic-system-on-patch for deep ...
