IR sensors rely on an emitter (IR LED) and a detector (photodiode or photoresistor) to measure infrared light and convert it ...

I recently had to build an infrared close proximity sensor that could tell if something was dropped in a parcel delivery drop box. After some searching, I ended up using a microcontroller and a piece ...

A passive infrared sensor (PIR sensor) is an electronic sensor that measures infrared (IR) light radiating from objects in its field of view. They are most often used in PIR-based motion detectors.

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 ...

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has announced a new program which seeks to enable quantum-level infrared (IR) detection at room temperature. The IR spectrum is a vast information ...

It is critically important for instrument users to understand what the sensors in their instrument cannot properly measure, as well as what they can. Non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) sensors are ...

Oil and gas production and work in confined spaces exposes field personnel to a variety of toxic and explosive gases in everyday drilling, processing, transport, and municipal operations. Explosive ...
