[mircemk] shows how to create a simple non-contact proximity sensor using little more than an Arduino Nano board, and a convenient software library intended to measure the value of capacitors.

In this modern age, IR sensors are typically used in motion detectors and the best VR headsets. In the latter, they measure the depth of a space and your proximity to things in your environment.

Q: Is this a relatively new form of non-contact proximity sensing? A: Actually, it’s the oldest. As soon as photosensitive and photoconductive sensors, along with basic electrical components, were ...

As per Lockheed Martin's January 22 statement, it will not be one TacIRST but a “ distributed set of embedded TacIRST sensors” comprising the Infrared Defensive System (IRDS). Lockheed Martin shared ...

The Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science has successfully developed a high-quality compound semiconductor material for ultra-sensitive short-wave infrared (SWIR) sensors. The study is ...

A proximity sensor makes your screen ... thus avoiding accidental taps. This sensor works by sending out a beam of infrared light and waiting for an object to bounce it back.

An upgraded, passive missile targeting sensor for the Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet fleet is now eligible for deployment, the U.S. Navy said on Feb. 4. The Block II infrared search and track (IRST ...

The F-22 will receive an embedded set of TacIRST sensors as part of the Infrared Defensive System to enhance aircraft survivability and lethality. Lockheed Martin announced on Jan. 22, 2025 ...

iris-GmbH is a company developing and manufacturing sensor components for automatic passenger counting.

We propose a method for simultaneous articulated robot posture estimation and environmental mapping by integrating data from proximity sensors distributed over the whole body. Our method extends the ...

Lockheed Martin has secured a $270 million contract from the U.S. Air Force to integrate next-generation infrared defensive sensors on the F-22 Raptor. The system, known as the Infrared Defensive ...

The U.S. Navy has declared Initial Operating Capability (IOC) for a new infrared search-and-track sensor system developed by Lockheed Martin for F/A-18 Super Hornet strike fighters, according to a ...
