Sorry to disappoint you but we have been using these devices
for a couple of years now, in fact they are now so mainstream
that they are in the Farnell Catalogue along with
evaluation boards.

We treat them as just another sensor, nothing special, they are
just more precise than a cmos gate (and considerably more expensive)

Chris Carr
