The Fraunhofer Institutes for Applied Polymer Research and Computer Architecture and Software Technology in Germany have devised a way of increasing building security with a relatively simple alarm.

Cameras, light barriers, and movement sensors have one thing in common: they work with light sensors that are already found in many applications. In future, these sensors might also play an important ...

Featuring Two Interface Panels and Adjustable Performance Parameters, Kit Allows Designers to Easily and Inexpensively Evaluate VCNL4000 for Their Applications Vishay Intertechnology today introduced ...

When using photoelectric sensors, the most reliable method to detect objects is via a light barrier, as this does not rely on the reflection of light from the target object. Implementation of more ...

As electronics seamlessly weave their way into our lives, sensors play an increasingly important role. Light sensors are among the simplest and cheapest sensors, allowing their inclusion into numerous ...

IR sensors rely on an emitter (IR LED) and a detector (photodiode or photoresistor) to measure infrared light and convert it ...

An overwhelming majority of handheld devices these days have ambient light sensors built into them. A large percentage of TVs and monitors do, too, and that proportion is growing. The sensors allow ...
