Say it out loud, and you feel like the hero in an old spy thriller: infrared. Or maybe it's just us. Either way, infrared (IR) now feels like a quaint technology, a relic from a bygone era. In the age ...

The Blue Gate Communication Tower Key not only opens the door to some valuable loot, but it’s also required to complete a later-game quest in ARC Raiders. Oddly, there’s no Communication Tower map ...

In recent years, IR blasters have become a standard part of smart TV systems, but it's not always clear just what these devices are or do. For starters, the IR in the name stands for infrared, which ...

After decades of intense research, surprises in the realm of semiconductors—materials used in microchips to control electrical currents—are few and far between. But with a pair of published papers, ...

I did not find a library that could be used to transmit any arbitrary data with the help of an Infrared Transmitter and Receiver module. Later I realized that this could be useful with any sceanrio ...

Thanks to modern LED bulbs, light is cheaper than ever to make—except for one particular kind. Three University of Chicago scientists have announced an innovative way to create infrared light, which ...

Abstract: This work presents an open-source, configurable IR communication platform that supports both standard and custom protocols. Based on the MSP430G2553 microcontroller, the platform allows full ...

For most people, calculators are cheap and simple devices used for little more than addition and the odd multiplication job. However, when you get into scientific and graphical calculators, the ...

Abstract: Driven by increasing demands for integrated communication and localization (ICL), ultra-wideband (UWB) technology has attracted significant attention due to its high temporal resolution and ...
