SMARTRAC’s Sensor Temperature DogBone inlay and RFMicron’s Temperature Sensor Powered by Magnus tag both use RFMicron’s Magnus S3 passive RFID sensor IC, released a year ago (see RFMicron Releases New ...

While temperature-sensing, passive RFID-based solutions have been available for several years, adoption is often limited or delayed due to the cost of piloting the technology. Many companies have a ...

“We wondered whether we could repurpose RFID tags to do battery-free sensing and tracking,” says Nagarjun Bhat, a Ph.D. student in electrical engineering and lead author of a new study. Data is power.

Unlike infrared optical sensors that use an LED transmitter and IR receiver, the PIR emits nothing. As its “passive” name suggests, it responds only to infrared energy radiated by the object being ...

Staff Sgt. Jacob Rascon, right, and Sgt. David Hendrixson, both assigned to 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault), analyze prototyped cyber field equipment during Cyber Quest ...

Passive InfraRed sensors (PIRs) are electronic devices which are used in some security alarm systems to detect motion of an infrared emitting source, usually a human body. All objects, living or not, ...

Due to their superior material properties, wide bandgap and ultrawide bandgap semiconductors are increasingly used for electronic and optoelectronic applications. In this dissertation, electronic and ...

Today’s sensor-packed smartphones can measure a lot of things, but ambient temperature generally isn’t one of them. It is possible to buy separate Bluetooth temperature-sensing modules, and it’s been ...
