An Infrared close object sensor installed on an industrial vehicle detects objects or pedestrians located in a hazardous area. When it detects a problem an audio/visual indicator makes an alert, that ...

Electronic enthusiasts may be interested in a new open source infrared sensor which has been created to support both Raspberry Pi and Arduino powered projects. The IR Detector proximity sensor has ...

This infrared detector circuit uses a passive IR-detector component PID20. It converts heat radiation into electrical impulses. The output voltage of the PID20 increases when an object comes close to ...

An image from a corrugated quantum well infrared photodetector (C-QWIP) shows traffic flowing along a highway near Kings Island theme park in Mason, Ohio. Note the white "hot" spots on the tires and ...

The ability to detect human presence can be a pretty powerful attribute for a number of devices. Versions of this technology have been around for quite some time, but artificial intelligence and ...

As radar technology continues to advance, it offers an increasingly broad range of capabilities, making it a viable alternative to traditional passive infrared (PIR) sensors. With radar’s enhanced ...

For over four decades, gas-leak-detection sensor tech has remained relatively unchanged and proven costly and often unreliable. Advances have changed the landscape, though, with sensors now including ...

Suitable monitoring and control of process temperatures require exceptional guidance by the producer or a basic understanding of the measurement techniques required on the part of the customer.
