This system can monitor when a sheet of glass has either water or ice on its surface, and then generate a PWM signal to control a motor that wipes away the liquid from the glass surface. In this ...

Some readers may recall building a line-following robot during their school days. Involving some IR LEDs, perhaps a bit of LEGO, and plenty of trial-and-error, it was fun on a tiny scale. Now imagine ...

Ever wonder how to calculate revolutions per minute using a microcontroller? This project shows you how by purposing an IR emitter and detector and a computer fan. As the fan blades spin they disrupt ...

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 ...

Sensor plays very important role in robotics and plant automation. One of the important areas in Industrial applications is Interfacing their output to the firmware. It is very important to understand ...

New miniaturized spectroscopy sensor technology developed by a European consortium could do for chemical sensing what camera phones have done for visual imaging. Developed by the MIRPHAB project, this ...

ULIS and CEA/Leti join forces in a EUR 26m R&D project to develop a new line of infrared sensors for applications enhancing energy efficiency. Veurey-Voroize, France, September 6, 2011 - ULIS, a ...

Using new mid-wave infrared detector technology, Lockheed Martin has begun assembly of a wide-area surveillance sensor that will provide at least 130 independently steerable, full-motion video feeds ...

France-based infrared sensor maker Lynred has officially kicked off a new European project to develop high-performance devices for use in future defense systems. The Grenoble company is coordinating ...
