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 ...

Raytheon has demonstrated a new type of infrared camera that ditches the conventional approach of capturing full video frames ...

Fujitsu has developed a high-sensitivity and high-resolution infrared sensor to expand monitoring capabilities in the defense and disaster prevention fields. This sensor is a Type-II superlattice ...

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 ...

January 7, 2008 With each new sensor man invents, we find a way to a greater understanding of how physics plays out in the real world. Sometimes the value of the data revealed by a new sensor gives ...

The sensor/monitor shown in the diagram ‘wakes up’ the host system on detection of infra-red (IR) signals. It draws so little supply current that it can remain on continuously in a notebook computer ...

Tempe, Arizona - Southwest Microwave, a leading global supplier of perimeter intrusion detection systems, has announced the introduction of the advanced Model 420 Passive Infrared (PIR) Sensor for ...

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 ...

It’s called IRST21 and it takes two years to produce a unit from Lockheed Martin in Orlando and Ocala. This highly advanced infrared sensor identifies the heat signature from friction as air passes ...

Passive InfraRed sensors (PIRs) are electronic devices which are used in some security alarm systems to detect motion of an infrared emitting source, usually a human body. All objects, living or not, ...

WASHINGTON — An experimental U.S. Air Force missile warning sensor hosted aboard a commercial telecommunications satellite successfully observed the Oct. 28 launch of a NASA weather and climate ...

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 ...
