Maxim is offering what is claims is a lower-cost alternative to time-of-flight cameras for free-air gesture control in vehicles: a 6 x 10 array of infra-red photodiodes that is said to work in 120klux ...

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 ...

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 ...

In plastic leadless PLCC-2 packages featuring silicon encapsulate to increase operating life, the OP180 and OP280 series surface-mount infrared LEDs address a wide range of single-device and ...

In this article, we implement a rain and ice sensor by analyzing the reflection of an infrared (IR) light source. This project uses proven techniques based on multiple reflections of IR light in the ...

Emulating human senses by electronic means has long been a grand challenge for artificial intelligence and is pivotal in the development of accessible and natural interfaces between man and machine ...

LED chip packaging house Bright Led Electronics has landed orders for one billion infrared LED sensor modules worth NT$2 billion (US$66.7 million) through a China-based maker of LED whiteboards, with ...
