How does the camera on the James Webb Space Telescope work and see so far out? – Kieran G., age 12, Minnesota Imagine a ...

This paper proposes a new location-awareness system ALTAIR (automatic location tracking system using active IR-tag) that automatically detects and tracks the location of the mobile PC (personal ...

Modern smartphones use proximity sensors for much more than just turning off screens during calls. These advanced sensors, powered by IR emitters and receivers, detect nearby objects like your hand or ...

For cooking, a range from -5o degrees Fahrenheit to 700 degrees is typically sufficient. However, for more intense industrial ...

It can also automatically identify the resistor or capacitor value using 3 scales for better approximation. The Garagino microcontroller was used, but it is fully compatible with the Arduino ...

Now, writing in Optics Letters, Jeppe Dam and co-workers report high-resolution two-dimensional image conversion from the infrared to the visible using intracavity nonlinear optics 4.

Furrow irrigation is made more efficient when growers install soil moisture sensors and use the data supplied by these devices to initiate irrigation. “And about 30% of Mississippi farmers use soil ...

The sensors communicate via I²C. I used a breadboard-friendly breakout board from Adafruit, which includes level shifting and voltage regulation, to help prototyping. The XR2206, though discontinued, ...

A recent Windows update has changed how Windows Hello face unlock works, now requiring a color camera in addition to IR sensors to authenticate you. That means it no longer works in the dark.

The SGP30 is a digital multi-pixel gas sensor designed foreasy integration into air purifier, demand-controlledventilation, and IoT applications. Sensirion’s CMOSens®technology offers a complete ...

The prototype sensor resets exposures independently by columns and fixes these exposures by rows for each 8 × 8-pixel block. This CMOS sensor is not fully controllable the pixels and has ...
