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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

InVisage's new image sensor for infrared cameras could help drones avoid trees and could aid virtual reality headsets in seeing where you're pointing. Stephen Shankland worked at CNET from 1998 to ...

Trinamix partners with Aumovio to bring fingertip alcohol detection sensors to cars by 2029 using near-infrared spectroscopy ...

The new method, which uses quantum dots, performs as well as or better than current infrared light sources while being much ...

Light sensors often use an infrared LED as a light source. Infrared LEDs have a greater intensity than LEDs that emit visible light. And when infrared photodiodes are used the sensors are relatively ...

Where motion sensor meets LED guide light for the ultimate fusion of hands-free convenience, energy efficiency, and ...

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 ...

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 ...
