Published purpose

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.
