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 ...

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 ...

Recently, the progress of uncooled infrared (IR) sensors has been remarkable due to microelectronic systems (MEMS)-based pixel structure, in which free standing thermal isolation structures are ...

Phlux Technology, a manufacturer of avalanche photodiode infrared sensors, will exhibit its Aura family of Noiseless InGaAs ...

The CLI700 reflective object sensor consists of an 880-nm aluminum-gallium-arsenide (AlGaAs) infrared emitter and an npn, buffered, open-collector IC. Both are mounted on a custom, four-leaded TO-72 ...

Aura family of sensors are available in 30µm, 80µm and 200µm versions, and are 12X more sensitive than conventional InGaAs APDs extending the range and accuracy of IR systems by up to 50% for a given ...
