Proximity sensing based on infrared signal acquisition and processing typically requires two parts to form the optical front end: an infrared LED and an optical sensor. The infrared LED beams infrared ...

This improved infrared detector is specifically intended for use with commercial IR remote control handsets. This little circuit is useful for quick go/no-go testing of just about any remote control ...

You can classify infrared light into three broad ranges: short wave, medium wave, and long wave. Traditionally, sensors concentrate on one or two bands, and each band has its own purpose. Short wave ...

The Ultima Open Path Infrared Detector from MSA can continuously monitor methane, propane and other combustible gases. The system consists of an IR source and receiver which continuously monitor for ...
