Excessive heat can destroy computer components, which means that keeping your system cool can extend its life. While the computer probably already monitors the temperature of the CPU, case heat can ...

What use is a sensor that's wrong?

[Edward], creator of the Cave Pearl project, an underwater data logger, needed a way to measure temperature with a microcontroller. Normally, this problem is most easily solved by throwing a ...

Teledyne FLIR OEM, part of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated (NYSE:TDY), announced today that Sentera Sensors and Drones, a leading provider of advanced sensors and data, has joined the Thermal by ...

The D6T non-contact MEMS thermal sensor from Omron can reliably detect the presence of humans in an area, even if they aren’t moving (see the figure). This type of thermal sensor is an alternative to ...

Excess heat from electronic or mechanical devices is a sign or cause of inefficient performance. In many cases, embedded sensors to monitor the flow of heat could help engineers alter device behavior ...

Sometimes a device doesn’t do quite what one needs, and in those cases a bit of tampering might do the trick. That’s what led to being able to record video from a HTI HT-A1 thermal imager despite the ...

The LM75A is a temperature-to-digital converter using an on-chip band gap temperature sensor and Sigma-delta A-to-D conversion technique. The device is also a thermal detector providing an ...
