This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: A3 - DATABASE OF SENSORS by Kam Kenn Jhun, A3- Database of Sensors Whenever we discuss intelligent architecture, we should start with sensors. They are the means of getting all type of data and information to systems. Sensors are simply detection devices that collect information and data internally and externally. Internally where they allow system to perceive even its condition and externally where they detect and receive information from out of system environment in real time. Security and Safety Sensors, -Motion sensors, offer an inexpensive and effective means of reducing energy costs by turning off lights when rooms or areas are unoccupied. Since lighting accounts for an average of 40% of electric usage in commercial buildings, motion sensors can play a key role in reducing energy costs. -Motion sensors for the control of lighting were first adapted from sensors that were developed for use in security systems. Now many different types of sensors are available that are specifi- cally designed to control lighting for a variety of applications. Depending on the space type, the sensor can replace wall- mounted light switches or can be mounted remotely, retaining the normal switching for use as override switches, allowing the lighting to be kept off even when the space is occupied. the technologies Active Ultrasonic Occupancy Sensors, Radiation Thermometers ???? Includes Pyrometers, line-measuring thermometers (most of the time they’re called line scanners-but all don’t scan) and infrared (IR) radiation thermometers, or, perhaps the most-misused term, spot radiometers., Cmap prepared by KAM KENN JHUN P-RM0043/09 ????

The sensing chambers of these detectors use different principles of operation to sense the visible or invisible particles of combustion given off in developing fires. Ionization Smoke Detector Operation, Infrared (IR or Laser) Thermometers ???? These are some of the misnomers for radiation thermometers that have sprung into being, as if there were a fundamental difference between them and all other types, Cmap prepared by KAM KENN JHUN P-RM0043/09 ????
