This light sensor switch circuit allows the automatic connection of a lamp when the light is low (at nightfall) and will maintain the lamp ON for a certain period of time. This time can be adjusted ...

(Nanowerk News) Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the University of California at Berkeley have created the world's first all-integrated sensor ...

There are as many varieties of smart light switches (and dimmers) as there are light bulbs, and while the prospect of upgrading your old dumb switch might seem daunting, they’re usually pretty simple ...

Ambient light is increasingly being used as a source of energy. To help designers of such systems, this circuit accurately measures ambient light intensity over four decades of measurement. The design ...

Leviton's excellent 2nd-gen motion-sensing Wi-Fi smart dimmer (model D2MSD) can be combined with a wireless, battery-powered ...

This Circuit can compare the Light level in an area. It uses a PN Photodiode as the light sensor and IC CA3140 as voltage comparator. The circuit is ideal as the front end of burglar alarm circuits.

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the University of California at Berkeley have created the world's first all-integrated sensor circuit based on ...

As things get smaller, we can fit more processing power into devices like robots to allow them to do more things or interact with their environment in new ways. If not, we can at least build them for ...

Randomly oriented nanowires, on the growth substrate at left, are having a “bad hair day.” But after contact printing, the nanowires on the receiver substrate are highly aligned. Scientists at the U.S ...
