pyroelectric sensor
1Passive infrared sensor — A Passive InfraRed sensor (PIR sensor) is an electronic device that measures infrared (IR) light radiating from objects in its field of view. PIR sensors are often used in the construction of PIR based motion detectors (see below). Apparent… …
2Optical resolution — This article is about optical resolution in optics. For the method of separating enantiomers in chemistry, see Chiral resolution. Optical resolution describes the ability of an imaging system to resolve detail in the object that is being imaged.… …
3Michael Francis Tompsett — is a British born physicist and former researcher at English Electric Valve Company, [1] who later moved to Bell Labs in America. He is best known as the inventor of Charge Coupled Device (CCD) Imagers used for imaging in devices such as digital… …
4Energy harvesting — (also known as Power harvesting or energy scavenging ) is the process by which energy is captured and stored. Frequently this term is applied when speaking about small autonomous devices, like those used in sensor networks. A variety of different …
5Pyroelectricity — is the ability of certain materials to generate an electrical potential when they are heated or cooled. As a result of this change in temperature, positive and negative charges move to opposite ends through migration (i.e., the material becomes… …
6Piezoelectricity — is the ability of some materials (notably crystals and certain ceramics, including bone) to generate an electric potentialPrinciples of Instrumental Analysis. 6th Edition, 2007. Skoog, Holler, and Crouch. Chapter 1, Sec. 1C 4, Pg. 9.] in response …
7Infrared — For other uses, see Infrared (disambiguation). An image of two people in mid infrared ( thermal ) light (false color) …
