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 ...

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 ...

Have you ever noticed a tiny blinking light on the screen of your Samsung phone close to the camera? That light indicates ...

Every robotics project out there, it seems, needs a way to detect if it’s smashing into a wall repeatedly, acting like the brainless automaton it actually is. The Roomba has wall sensors, just about ...

Short of cameras, there are few tools at the disposal of health care providers or loved ones to remotely monitor patient safety within hospitals and assisted living care facilities. A new system of ...

Some Samsung phone owners notice tiny flashing dots on their screens. They're not dead pixels -- most of them are the ...

Maxim Integrated Products Inc. introduces the MAX44000, a digital ambient-light and infrared proximity sensor that detects light like a human eye. Designed using the company's proprietary BiCMOS ...
