This system can monitor when a sheet of glass has either water or ice on its surface, and then generate a PWM signal to control a motor that wipes away the liquid from the glass surface. In this ...

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 ...

New miniaturized spectroscopy sensor technology developed by a European consortium could do for chemical sensing what camera phones have done for visual imaging. Developed by the MIRPHAB project, this ...

Sometimes you need a little utility device to do a very simple job, and do it well.This one-shot IR helper from [Gregory Sanders] is just that. [Gregory] had a TV that didn’t support automatically ...

ULIS and CEA/Leti join forces in a EUR 26m R&D project to develop a new line of infrared sensors for applications enhancing energy efficiency. Veurey-Voroize, France, September 6, 2011 - ULIS, a ...

When you've got a sweet setup with a projector you're probably doing your best to keep the projection area uncluttered. This clever hack projects infrared dots onto the wall so your Wiimotes work ...

France-based infrared sensor maker Lynred has officially kicked off a new European project to develop high-performance devices for use in future defense systems. The Grenoble company is coordinating ...

ViSAR will allow pilots to see through clouds when IR sensors are not effective DARPA US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (Darpa) has successfully tested its Video Synthetic Aperture Radar ...

Scottish companies and academics are to collaborate on developing next-generation sensing technologies under a "groundbreaking" initiative. The research and development project is being backed by ...
