  2. Gas duster - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_duster

    Gas duster can be used for cleaning dust off surfaces such as keyboards, as well as sensitive electronics in which moisture is not desired. When using gas duster, it is recommended to not hold the can upside down, as this can result in spraying liquid on to the surface.

  3. Nondispersive infrared sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nondispersive_infrared_sensor

    A nondispersive infrared sensor (or NDIR sensor) is a simple spectroscopic sensor often used as a gas detector.It is non-dispersive in the fact that no dispersive element (e.g a prism or diffraction grating as is often present in other spectrometers) is used to separate out (like a monochromator) the broadband light into a narrow spectrum suitable for gas sensing.

  4. Infrared gas analyzer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrared_gas_analyzer

    Different molecules in the air absorb different frequencies of light. Air with much of a certain gas will absorb more of a certain frequency, allowing the sensor to report a high concentration of the corresponding molecule. Infrared gas analyzers usually have two chambers, one is a reference chamber while the other chamber is a measurement chamber.

  5. Occupancy sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occupancy_sensor

    Occupancy sensor types include: PIR sensors, which work on heat difference detection, measuring infrared radiation.Inside the device is a pyroelectric sensor which can detect the sudden presence of objects (such as humans) who radiate a temperature different from the temperature of the background, such as the room temperature of a wall.

  6. Gas detector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_detector

    The energy in this wavelength is compared to a wavelength outside of the absorption range; the difference in energy between these two wavelengths is proportional to the concentration of gas present. [6] This type of sensor is advantageous because it does not have to be placed into the gas to detect it and can be used for remote sensing.

  7. Gas lighting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_lighting

    Gas lighting in the historical center of Wrocław, Poland, is manually turned off and on daily.. Gas lighting is the production of artificial light from combustion of a fuel gas such as methane, propane, butane, acetylene, ethylene, hydrogen, carbon monoxide, coal gas (town gas) or natural gas.

  8. Infrared open-path detector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrared_open-path_detector

    Infrared open-path gas detectors send out a beam of infrared light, detecting gas anywhere along the path of the beam. This linear 'sensor' is typically a few metres up to a few hundred metres in length. Open-path detectors can be contrasted with infrared point sensors.

  9. Electrochemical gas sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrochemical_gas_sensor

    The magnitude of the current is controlled by how much of the target gas is oxidized at the working electrode. Sensors are usually designed so that the gas supply is limited by diffusion, and thus the output from the sensor is linearly proportional to the gas concentration. This linear output is one of the advantages of electrochemical sensors ...
