  2. Passive infrared sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_infrared_sensor

    A passive infrared sensor (PIR sensor) is an electronic sensor that measures infrared (IR) light radiating from objects in its field of view. They are most often used in PIR-based motion detectors . PIR sensors are commonly used in security alarms and automatic lighting applications.

  3. 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.

  4. Camera trap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camera_trap

    A camera trap with a passive infrared (PIR) sensor. A camera trap is a camera that is automatically triggered by motion in its vicinity, like the presence of an animal or a human being. It is typically equipped with a motion sensor—usually a passive infrared (PIR) sensor or an active infrared (AIR) sensor using an infrared light beam. [1]

  5. Proximity sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proximity_sensor

    Smartphone optical proximity sensor without the phone's casing. The sensor itself is the black object on top of the yellow block below it; this block is actually a printed circuit board serving as an interposer. A proximity sensor (often simply prox) is a sensor able to detect the presence of nearby objects without any physical contact.

  6. 6-step - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-step

    The 6-step. The 6-step is foundational to b-boying not only because it is the first footwork sequence breakers often learn, but also because it remains the move around which many sets are structured. Many break moves can begin from the 6-step. The move sets up the direction of rotation and builds momentum while imparting body control. The ...

  7. Anchor Step - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anchor_Step

    The anchor step, or anchor, is a dance step at the end of a pattern in West Coast Swing dance that is used while maintaining a connection. [ 1 ] Although the beginners are taught it in a specific way, when danced by advanced dancers, the anchor is not a specific rhythm or foot position.

  8. Contra dance choreography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contra_dance_choreography

    A count may also be called a step, as contra dance is a walking form, and each count of a dance typically matches a single physical step in a figure. Typical contra dance choreography comprises four parts, each 16 counts (8 measures) long. The parts are called A1, A2, B1 and B2. This nomenclature stems from the music: Most contra dance tunes ...

  9. Infrared search and track - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrared_search_and_track

    An IRST sensor on a Sukhoi Su-35. An Infrared Search and Track (IRST) system (sometimes known as infrared sighting and tracking) is a method for detecting and tracking objects which give off infrared radiation, such as the infrared signatures of jet aircraft and helicopters.
