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 ...

Today’s smartphones are incredible little machines—able to perform the function of ten gadgets within a single compact device. From professional-grade cameras and GPS navigation to automatic display ...

Recently, the progress of uncooled infrared (IR) sensors has been remarkable due to microelectronic systems (MEMS)-based pixel structure, in which free standing thermal isolation structures are ...

Researchers at Northeastern University have developed a next generation smart sensor for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) that is capable of identifying infrared (IR) wavelengths ...

Non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) sensors are increasingly being used in multi-sensor instruments to measure LEL combustible gas. While they offer a number of significant advantages, NDIR sensors also ...

Paris-based Sofradir is a major provider of infrared (IR) sensors for reconnaissance, civil Earth observation, meteorological and science satellites. “The acquisition will reinforce Sofradir’s leading ...

PARSIPPANY, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--As industry leaders in the development of electro-optical infrared (EO/IR) sensors and systems for military applications, the Reconnaissance, Surveillance and Target ...

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 ...
