Development of Proximity Sensing Technology (Phase 1)
FY 2023-24 · 2023-08-01
Summary
The project will create a platform and develop all core functionality of a proximity sensing platform initially targeted to hands-free water saving faucets; but flexible in scope to address multiple applications requiring low-cost proximity sensing. It will include all engineering efforts – software, hardware, mechanical, reliability and QA - to launch the initial product. The initial launch will be based on available market components, including Infrared Sensors and microcontrollers, but used in a novel single-voltage architecture. Phase 2 and future implementations will provide cost-reduction, add features and target additional markets and applications. These phases will include provision to use an internally developed ASIC.

Description
The project will create a platform and develop all core functionality of a proximity sensing platform initially targeted to hands-free water saving faucets; but flexible in scope to address multiple applications requiring low-cost proximity sensing. It will include all engineering efforts – software, hardware, mechanical, reliability and QA - to launch the initial product.

Description (French)
Le projet vise à créer une plateforme et à développer toutes les fonctionnalités de base d’une plateforme de détection de proximité initialement destinée aux robinets économiseurs d’eau mains libres, mais dont le champ d’application est flexible pour répondre à de multiples applications nécessitant une détection de proximité à faible coût. Il comprendra tous les efforts d’ingénierie - logiciel, matériel, mécanique, fiabilité et assurance qualité - pour lancer le produit initial. Le lancement initial sera basé sur des composants disponibles sur le marché, notamment des capteurs infrarouges et des microcontrôleurs, mais utilisés dans une nouvelle architecture à tension unique. La phase 2 et les futures mises en œuvre permettront de réduire les coûts, d’ajouter des fonctionnalités et de cibler d’autres marchés et applications. Ces phases prévoient l’utilisation d’un ASIC développé en interne.
