EMX Industries Inc. announces the CNTX contrast sensor, the highest resolution white LED contrast sensor on the market. The CNTX combines small spot size and fast response to achieve high-speed contrast differentiation of both neutral and color targets. The sensor provides numerical display of 50 grayscale levels. The broad-spectrum light source allows accurate detection of a wide range of colors against any background. The flexibility of the CNTX makes it easy to set-up in a wide variety of printing, packaging and converting applications...

The analog output measures temperature with +/-3C accuracy (max) and the temperature switch has +/-4C switch accuracy over a temperature range of -40C to 125C. Hysteresis of the TMP300 is pin programmable to two states of either 5C or 10C Texas Instruments Incorporated  (NYSE: TXN) announced the introduction the industry's smallest (SC70 package) low-power, resistor-programmable temperature switch that operates over the largest supply voltage range. The TMP300 allows for simple temperature monitoring and control. The tiny size of the device makes it an attractive option for power supply systems, DC/DC modules, thermal monitoring and electronic protection systems. About Texas Instruments Texas Instruments Incorporated provides innovative DSP and analog technologies to meet our customers' real world signal processing requirements...
