Believed to be the only sensor available that can perform wireless infrared (IR) tyre temperature measurements, the IRN8WS4 transmits data to a generic master receiver in 868, 902 or 920-MHz ...

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 ...

Proximity sensors are common enough in automation projects that we hardly give them a second thought — pick something with specs that match the job and move on. But they can be fussy to get adjusted ...

Substantial miniaturization of infrared (IR) sensors is necessary for their incorporation into next-generation portable electronics, wearable devices, and small satellites. However, modern infrared ...

Since manufacturers rely on various critical equipment, they often cannot effectively monitor each one. Major technical issues ensue if a problem goes undetected for long enough, making unplanned ...
