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.

Ultrasonic time-of-flight (ToF) sensors are embedding more powerful on-chip processors with higher computational capability to run a wide range of application algorithms while offloading the system ...

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 refers to signals that are above the human hearing span (>20 kHz), and usually in the 40- to 70-kHz range. These signals are used like radar—they’re radiated toward a target and reflected ...

Ultrasonic sensors measure the distance between a target and the sensor using high-frequency sound waves that are inaudible to humans. The process is simple: the sensor emits ultrasonic waves, which ...

When the world’s first “motorwagen” was introduced in 1885, the notion that a car would one day drive itself was laughable. Today, assisted and autonomous vehicles are the reality of an age where ...
