Switching distance of inductive proximity switches?

Good morning, I'm currently working with inductive sensors. For this, I need to know how the different switching distances are created. Because the switching distance depends on the material. And I need to explain why certain materials are detected earlier or later. At first, I thought I understood. My thought was: The more conductive an…

Climate station: which is the temperature sensor?

This is a humidity and temperature sensor for the ELV wireless climate station. Which is the temperature sensor? The humidity sensor is definitely the square thing U5 with eight legs next to the spiral antenna. There's nothing at U6. Where is the temperature sensor, or is the square thing U5 a combination sensor?

Underwater detection using acoustic sensors (acoustic triangulation), underwater directional microphone for passive noise detection, which is the most effective?

Current example: Effective location of the Titanic submarine by the company "OceanGate" (the name says it all^^), where all communication channels fail or emergency systems are insufficient. -is modern thermography also effective? -modern, large metal detector, search rods, detects magnetic fields or magnetic interference, … ? -Radar technology, using large antennas, detect an anomaly?

Function of "radar" sensors in automatic lights?

In addition to the PIR ( passive infrared) sensors, there are also automatic lamps with other sensors that are constructed completely differently and are smaller. They can also "see" through frosted glass or plastic covers of lamps. Are they actually called radar sensors, or what is the correct term? And do they really actively emit…
