Optoelectronics Custom Sensor Design Running Projects Climate Control Sensor Integrated Thermo-Optical Sensor Developed by Vishay, this automotive climate control sensor is used to determine the position and angle of the sun. The sensor’s unique package combines a photodiode and thermocouple in a custom-molded lens. The information delivered by the sensor triggers the dual-zone climate control system to boost the speed or lower the temperature of the air directed toward the sunny side of the car. Rain Sensor When water hits a car’s windshield, Vishay’s custom rain sensor - mounted on the inside of the glass - measures the degree of change in light being reflected off the windshield to determine the rate of falling rain. The sensor incorporates several baredie infrared emitters, phototransistors, and photodiodes manufactured in Vishay’s own fabrication plant with in-house assembly, lens designing, and molding. Steering Angle Sensor This steering angle sensor developed by Vishay offers extremely high resolution in determining the position of the steering wheel, the direction of steering, and the velocity at which the wheel is being turned. The high-quality results delivered by the sensor are a result of its 12-phototransistor sensor design. Climate Control Sensor Dual Zone Developed by Vishay, this dual-zone climate control sensor measures the power and direction of sunlight. This information is used to distribute cooling to different air outlets in order to achieve a comfortable temperature for all passengers in the car. Custom angle-mounted photodiodes and custom holders are implemented in the sensor’s design. Printer Sensor For over 15 years, Vishay has been creating custom printer sensors that offer excellent performance, high reliability, and unique designs. Vishay printer sensors are able to detect manuscript size, paper, and toner intensity, find the top / edge of media in a print zone, and determine the presence of the drops ejected by each of the print head’s nozzles.
