Its spatial recognition software, plus heat sensors and proprietary algorithms, analyze customer movements.
Boeing must now find a way to reduce the potential for heat propagating throughout the battery, perhaps by moving the cells further apart or adding more heat sensors.

The thieves, headed by Leonardo Notarbartolo, reportedly managed to penetrate some of the most advanced security measures, including hi-tech combination locks, motion and heat sensors -- and 18-inch steel doors.
The scientists also wired the building with heat and gas sensors that could withstand fire.
Using shadows and lights to Climate-controlled rooms to foil heat-seeking sensors.
For now, the basic CORE 2 model comes with an adjustable elastic band (available in multiple colors) and a sensor module packing an accelerometer and three heat and skin sensors.

Also, every room has a large fireplace as well as motion sensors which control the heat, lights and even the shades.

Rooms have infrared sensors that detect body heat, so that staff don't accidentally walk in on guests, and there's a virtual golf club in the basement that lets you simulate a round on 50 of the world's most famous courses.
Among the team's challenges was modifying the sensors designed to detect the heat from an incoming warhead, as the satellite will be much cooler.
Among the challenges is modifying sensors designed to detect the heat from an incoming warhead so they can spot the much-cooler satellite, which has no heat source and is warmed only by the sun's rays.

Thousands of centrifuges are needed and the engineering is tricky, but the process is more easily hidden, with reasonable electrical requirements and no heat or gas that can be detected by sensors.
Those little metal discs supplement the internal sensors, including functionality for radiation, heat, chemical and climate sensing.
Unlike almost all competitive products that use only one sensor to 'read' the body, BodyMedia's monitors incorporate temperature, heat flux, galvanic skin response and 3-axis accelerometer sensors to get accurate measurements of calorie burn, exercise intensity and sleep patterns that affect weight as well as health.

In addition, a potentially significant share of the missing heat appears to be accumulating in extreme ocean depths beyond the reach of ocean sensors.
The base station itself can connect to as many as 240 lights and switches, with support for all sorts of devices: heat and cooling systems, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, doorbells, dehumidifiers and motion sensors.
