ICP DAS USA releases PIR-130-DC, a 1-channel passive infrared (PIR) sensor module that detects human-body generated infrared waves within a range of approximately 8 meters (315 inches) in diameter ...

Texas Instruments recently brought to market what it claims to be the world's first single-chip passive infrared (IR) micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) temperature sensor, called the TMP006.

So, you need to measure the temperature of your IC, PCB, or box? No big deal: you can use one of the many available approaches, via sensors such as a thermocouple, RTD, thermistor, diode, or an ...

Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) (NYSE: TXN) is enabling contactless temperature measurement for the first time in portable consumer electronics with the industry’s first single-chip passive ...

A passive infrared sensor (PIR sensor) is an electronic sensor that measures infrared (IR) light radiating from objects in its field of view. They are most often used in PIR-based motion detectors.

Passive InfraRed sensors (PIRs) are electronic devices which are used in some security alarm systems to detect motion of an infrared emitting source, usually a human body. All objects, living or not, ...

IR sensors rely on an emitter (IR LED) and a detector (photodiode or photoresistor) to measure infrared light and convert it into electrical signals. There are two main types of sensors: ...

The same material that makes the theft detectors go off in a department store when the salesperson forgets to remove the anti-theft tag, may make inexpensive, passive temperature and stress sensors ...

Unlike infrared optical sensors that use an LED transmitter and IR receiver, the PIR emits nothing. As its “passive” name suggests, it responds only to infrared energy radiated by the object being ...

SMARTRAC’s Sensor Temperature DogBone inlay and RFMicron’s Temperature Sensor Powered by Magnus tag both use RFMicron’s Magnus S3 passive RFID sensor IC, released a year ago (see RFMicron Releases New ...
