IRISYS (Infrared Integrated Systems Ltd), Northampton, UK, is promoting thermal technology for intelligent building. Using its own thermal imaging cameras, the company has developed a range of ...

The presented schematic shows how to build a simple PIR motion sensor. PIR sensors allow motion sensing, it is almost always used to detect whether someone has moved in or out of the sensors range.

New thin film pyroelectric sensors, fast switching IR sources and suitable gas cell design enable new levels of ppm detection levels. Tighter legislation on environmental polutants and a public desire ...

TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--OMRON Corporation (TOKYO:6645)(ADR:OMRNY) today announced that they have finished development work on the world's first infrared sensor manufactured with wafer-level vacuum ...

Unlike infrared optical sensors that use an LED transmitter and IR receiver, the PIR emits nothing. As its “passive” name suggests, it responds only to infrared energy radiated by the object being ...

Lithium Tantalate infrared sensors offering high specific detectivity and long-term stability. A wide range of single element Lithium Tantalate infrared sensors offering high specific detectivity and ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) For decades, researchers have sought to understand and harness the pyroelectric effect in biological materials. Pyroelectricity refers to the phenomenon where heating or cooling a ...

The D6T non-contact MEMS thermal sensor from Omron can reliably detect the presence of humans in an area, even if they aren’t moving (see the figure). This type of thermal sensor is an alternative to ...

Many peptides and proteins have an innate ability to assemble into long, slender fibers called fibrils and other shapes. Now, researchers have found a way to harness this property to create tubular ...
