Omron Electronic Components has introduced a non-contact MEMS thermal sensor that it claims can detect the presence of humans in an area without the need for movement. The sensor is intended as an ...

Developed as an alternative to passive infrared (PIR) sensors, STMicroelectronics has launched its ultra-low-power STHS34PF80 IR sensor for human-presence and motion detection in alarm and security ...

Infrared sensors, which act as the "seeing" component in devices such as LiDAR for autonomous vehicles, 3D face recognition ...

The combined weight of the precision non-contact infrared sensors from Dexter Research, the ST-60 and the 2M, is less than an ounce. The International Space Station is intended to be a laboratory, ...

Researchers have developed a highly sensitive method for detecting hotspots in the environment, such as bushfires or military threats, by harnessing the focusing power of meta-optical systems.

Thermal infrared (IR) energy is emitted from all things that have a temperature greater than absolute zero. Human eyes, primarily sensitive to shorter wavelength visible light, are unable to detect or ...

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, ...

AUSTIN, Texas, October 28, 2009 - Silicon Laboratories Inc. (NASDAQ: SLAB), a leader in high-performance, analog-intensive, mixed signal ICs, today announced its entry into the human interface market ...

Doug Bonderud is an award-winning writer capable of bridging the gap between complex and conversational across technology, innovation and the human condition. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound ...

Millions of infrared sensors are sold each year for communications and sensing systems, and they quietly power many of the technologies that underpin modern society. Even though we can’t see the ...

Researchers at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev say they have developed low-cost infrared sensors that can be used to create the world’s thinnest night-vision glasses as well as revolutionize ...
