The two kinds of wireless technologies used for WPAN are Bluetooth and Infrared Data Association.

Infrared Data Association ( IrDA ) uses infrared light, which has a frequency below the human eye's sensitivity.

The device features include touchscreen, Smart-card, Serial port, and USB connections, and an Infrared Data Association ( IrDA ) port.

The Infrared Data Association ( IrDA ) is an industry driven interest group that was founded in 1993 by around 50 companies.

In 2001 Dr. Wang was re-elected for a 2nd term as chair of the Infrared Data Association's Technical and Test committee.

* Fast Infrared, see Infrared Data Association

* infrared ( IR ) short-range communication, for example from consumer IR devices such as remote controls or via Infrared Data Association ( IrDA ).

It is maintained by the Infrared Data Association but has also been adopted by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group and the SyncML wing of the Open Mobile Alliance ( OMA ).

* Infrared Data Association, in information and communications technology, a standard for communication between devices ( such as computers, PDAs and mobile phones ) over short distances using infrared signals

* When implementing the Infrared Data Association ( IrDA ) protocol, often an endec is used between the UART and the optoelectronics.

Infrared Financial Messaging ( IrFM ) is a wireless payment standard developed by the Infrared Data Association.

The mandatory IrPHY ( Infrared Physical Layer Specification ) is the physical layer of the IrDA specifications.

The mandatory IrLAP ( Infrared Link Access Protocol ) is the second layer of the IrDA specifications.

The mandatory IrLMP ( Infrared Link Management Protocol ) is the third layer of the IrDA specifications.

* Communication Ports: 4-pin RS-232 ( Serial port ) or Infrared port ( not IrDA )

Infrared communication ports, like the ones found on laptop computers ( such as IrDA ), can also be used.

* IrDA: The Infrared Data Associations ( IrDA ) specification includes an IrPHY specification for the physical layer of the data transport.

** Infrared Data Association ( IrDA ) standards

* Infrared communication: Bi-directional ( supports IrDA based and conventional remote control systems )

Infrared technology is low-cost and has the advantage of being allowed aboard.

Using newer and more powerful infrared telescope technology, able to detect brown dwarfs as cool as 150 kelvins out to a distance of 10 light-years from the Sun, preliminary results from the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer ( WISE survey ) have not, to date, detected Nemesis, although the analysis of the full survey is not yet complete.

Infrared and red laser diodes are common in CD players, CD-ROMs and DVD technology.

The launch of the Infrared Astronomical Satellite, an Explorer-class satellite designed to conduct the first infrared survey of the sky led to anticipation of an instrument using new infrared detector technology.

Infrared light or laser technology may be used for optical detection.

The Spitzer Science Center ( SSC ), part of the Infrared Processing and Analysis Center located on the Caltech campus, is the data analysis and community support center for NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope.

Infrared radiation in the spectral distribution of a black body is usually considered a form of heat, since it has an equivalent temperature, and is associated with an entropy change per unit of thermal energy.

Infrared radiation is absorbed by greenhouse gases, which in turn re-radiate much of the energy to the surface and lower atmosphere.

Infrared is also used to observe distant, red-shifted galaxies that were formed much earlier in the history of the universe.

Infrared ( IR ) light is electromagnetic radiation with longer wavelengths than those of visible light, extending from the nominal red edge of the visible spectrum at 0. 74 micrometres ( µm ) to 300 µm.

Infrared light is emitted or absorbed by molecules when they change their rotational-vibrational movements.

Infrared light is used in industrial, scientific, and medical applications.

Infrared spectroscopy ( IR spectroscopy ) is the spectroscopy that deals with the infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum, that is light with a longer wavelength and lower frequency than visible light.

Infrared in general is used, for instance, in TV remotes.

Infrared ( IR ) light is electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength between 0. 7 and 300 micrometers, which equates to a frequency range between approximately 1 and 430 THz.

Infrared or red radiation from a common household radiator or electric heater is an example of thermal radiation, as is the heat and light ( IR and visible EM waves ) emitted by a glowing incandescent light bulb.

The high data speeds of UMTS are now most often utilised for Internet access: experience in Japan and elsewhere has shown that user demand for video calls is not high, and telco-provided audio / video content has declined in popularity in favour of high-speed access to the World Wide Web — either directly on a handset or connected to a computer via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Infrared or USB.

Infrared light is strongly absorbed by the hydrogen-oxygen or OH bonds.

The organisation is mission center for several key current missions ( Kepler Mission, the Lunar CRater Observation and Sensing Satellite ( LCROSS ) mission, Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy ( SOFIA )) and a major contributor to the '" new exploration focus '" as a participant in the Orion crew exploration vehicle and Ares I crew launch vehicle projects.

Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy ( SOFIA ) is a joint venture of the U. S. and German aerospace agencies, NASA and the DLR to make an infrared telescope platform that can fly at altitudes high enough to be in the infrared-transparent regime above the water vapor in the Earth's atmosphere.

Infrared astronomy is the branch of astronomy and astrophysics that studies astronomical objects visible in infrared ( IR ) radiation.

Infrared light is absorbed at many wavelengths by water vapor in the Earth's atmosphere, so most infrared telescopes are at high elevations in dry places, above as much of the atmosphere as possible.

The Kuiper Airborne Observatory and the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy use airplanes to observe in the infrared, which is absorbed by water vapor in the atmosphere.

This dependence on the polarizability differs from Infrared spectroscopy where the interaction between the molecule and light is determined by the dipole moment ; this contrasting feature allows to analyze transitions that might not be IR active via Raman spectroscopy, as exemplified by the rule of mutual exclusion in centrosymmetric molecules.
