Since its founding, LASER COMPONENTS has specialised in IR sensors for use in fire detection devices. We manufacture both lead sulphide and pyroelectric detectors at our assembly plant in Tempe. A ...

The last 10 years or so have produced some colossal and deadly fire events that have destroyed whole towns, burned a record amount of acreage, and polluted skies for weeks. And wildfires are not just ...

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

Researchers have developed a highly sensitive method for detecting hotspots in the environment, such as bushfires or military threats, by harnessing the focusing power of meta-optical systems.

Until recently, standard fire detectors relied on a single sensor to detect the presence of heat or smoke to determine if there was a nearby fire. As many homeowners and facility managers can attest, ...

From toothbrushes to automobiles, earbuds to mobile devices, and toys to semi-trucks, lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery technology is finding its way into just about everything. As the demand for ...

The Army is engineering new AI-enabled Hostile Fire Detection sensors for its fleet of armored combat vehicles to identify, track and target incoming enemy small arms fire. Even if the enemy rounds ...

For over four decades, gas-leak-detection sensor tech has remained relatively unchanged and proven costly and often unreliable. Advances have changed the landscape, though, with sensors now including ...
