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 ...

Detecting infrared light is critical in an enormous range of technologies, from remote controls to autofocus systems to self-driving cars and virtual reality headsets. That means there would be major ...

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 ...

EdgeMaster photoelectric sensors detect and monitor web or object edges. The sensors help reduce or eliminate problems such as skew, material shifts, object alignment, and web material drag or stretch ...

Phlux Technology, a spin-out from Sheffield University, UK, designs, manufactures, and markets 1,550-nm infrared (IR) sensors that are up to 12X more sensitive than alternative solutions. As a result, ...

Lockheed Martin’s vaunted F-22 air superiority fighter is set to receive a new passive threat-detection system meant to increase survivability. The military airframer received a $270 million contract ...

Imec, the Leuven, Belgium-based research and innovation hub in nano- and digital technologies, has announced the successful integration of a “pinned photodiode structure” in thin-film image sensors.
