IRISYS (Infrared Integrated Systems Ltd), Northampton, UK, is promoting thermal technology for intelligent building. Using its own thermal imaging cameras, the company has developed a range of ...

The presented schematic shows how to build a simple PIR motion sensor. PIR sensors allow motion sensing, it is almost always used to detect whether someone has moved in or out of the sensors range.

Pyreos, the Edinburgh-headquartered maker of thin-film infrared sensors, is to develop a new and more sensitive generation of the pyroelectric devices, thanks to a near-£1 million research project ...

Hoofddorp, Netherlands: The latest version of Murata's pyroelectric infrared (PIR) sensor is claimed by the company to be the world's smallest at 5.0 x 4.7 x 2.4 mm, enabling the sensor to be used in ...

At its headquarters in Dresden, InfraTec develops and manufactures infrared pyroelectric detectors. Due to the modular design concept of the detectors with approximately 50 standard types, users ...

The D6T non-contact MEMS thermal sensor from Omron can reliably detect the presence of humans in an area, even if they aren’t moving (see the figure). This type of thermal sensor is an alternative to ...

Many peptides and proteins have an innate ability to assemble into long, slender fibers called fibrils and other shapes. Now, researchers have found a way to harness this property to create tubular ...
