The power switch with infrared proximity sensor is intended for the recognition of obstructions at distances of a few millimetres to a few centimetres. This compact sensor switch can be used to open a ...

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 ...

Honeywell (HON) unveils a new infrared gas sensor for methane, propane & butane detection, built for harsh industrial sites.

This MEMS-based on/off switch is triggered by impinging IR photons, and remains in a zero-power quiescent state until that event takes place. Even the minute amount of current needed in slow, ...

A team from the Northeastern University has developed a sensor that requires almost no power to work and operate. Made for the US Department of Defense's Darpa (Defense Advanced Research Projects ...

From self-driving cars to facial recognition, infrared sensors are all around us and our novel semiconductor research is taking this technology to the next level. Phlux - a Sheffield spinout -has ...

Originating from research on energy harvesting and wireless power transfer, we are developing Sensor-Driven Electronics to eliminate batteries and energy harvesters in microsensors. To date, this has ...
