This is an IR beam breaking alarm ideal to use in entry or passages. It is based on the working of the popular IR sensor Module TSOP1738 which senses 38 kHz Infrared pulses from the IR LED of the ...

3. IR LED driving circuit. Based on experience, the TIP121 Darlington transistor is a good option for this application. This device will allow us to drive a high current load with a low base current.

Many robotic applications require a sensor to detect close or very close obstacles. Typically, reflective-type infrared sensors are used for this task. But the circuit in the figure shows an ...

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 ...

Thanks to an IR proximity sensor, [romain] can interrupt the cycle and get the date, time, temperature, or even a smiley animation depending on the number of hand passes over the sensor.

The 2,000m² facility will supply advanced ISR, and targeting sensors suitable for both crewed and autonomous platforms.

Some smart folks at Metalab in Vienna, Austria cut out the IR middle-man with a couple transistors and some audio software. They call the project HDMI Whisperer, and it’s a cute hack.

Imec has developed a prototype high-resolution short-wave-infrared (SWIR) image sensor with a record small pixel pitch of 1.82 µm. The sensor is based on a thin-film photodetector that is ...

Israeli startup Adasky, which seeks to mass-produce a far-infrared sensor for driverless cars, has raised $20 million as part of a larger round.
