    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses for providing on-board electromagnetic radiation sensing using beam splitting in a radiation sensing apparatus. The radiation sensing apparatuses can include a micro-mirror chip including a plurality of light reflecting surfaces. The apparatuses can also include an image sensor including an imaging surface. The apparatuses can also include a beamsplitter unit located between the micro-mirror chip and the image sensor. The beamsplitter unit can include a beamsplitter that includes a partially-reflective surface that is oblique to the imaging surface and the micro-mirror chip. The apparatuses can also include an enclosure configured to enclose at least the beamsplitter and a light source. The light source can be attached to a printed circuit board. Optionally, the enclosure can include an inner surface that has an angled reflective surface that is configured to reflect light from the light source in a direction towards the beamsplitter.

    Abstract: A temperature sensor device for a power distribution panel includes a Power over Ethernet (PoE) interface, a DC-to-DC step down converter, at least one infrared temperature sensor array, a microcontroller and a communication interface. The PoE interface is used to obtain a required power supply from the Ethernet network. The DC-to-DC step down converter steps down the power supply from a first voltage to a second voltage. The infrared temperature sensor array receives infrared rays radiated from a monitored area of the power distribution panel and generates a corresponding sensation signal. The microcontroller receives the sensation signal and generates an alert signal when the sensed temperature of the monitored area exceeds a preset threshold. The threshold can be dynamically adjusted according to time of day or day of months. The communication interface enables the communication between an external electronic device and the temperature sensor device for the power distribution panel.

    Abstract: A system, for calculating an object location within a portal, includes a portal map formed by a plurality of infra-red beams. The system further includes a broken beam detector for detecting and recording, in response to an object moving through the portal map, data indicative of one or more broken beams of the plurality of infra-red beams. The data includes first data indicative of an initial position of the object within the portal, second data indicative of a subsequent position of the object within the portal, and third data including one or more time records. The system also includes at least one broken beam analyzer for obtaining the data from the broken beam detector, the broken beam analyzer calculating the object location based on at least one of the first data, the second data, and the third data.

    Abstract: A bolometer. In one embodiment a graphene sheet is configured to absorb electromagnetic waves. The graphene sheet has two contacts connected to an amplifier, and a power detector connected to the amplifier. Electromagnetic power in the evanescent electromagnetic waves is absorbed in the graphene sheet, heating the graphene sheet. The power of Johnson noise generated at the contacts is proportional to the temperature of the graphene sheet. The Johnson noise is amplified and the power in the Johnson noise is used as a measure of the temperature of the graphene sheet, and of the amount of electromagnetic wave power absorbed by the graphene sheet.
