For example: 1  It is common for stores to have a beam of light crossing the room near the door, and a photosensor on the other side of the Â­room. 2  When a customer breaks the beam, the photosensor detects the change in the amount of light and rings a bell.
Definition of weir. 1  1 : a fence or enclosure set in a waterway for taking fish. 2  2 : a dam in a stream or river to raise the water level or divert its flow.
A weir is a concrete or masonry structure which is constructed across the open channel (such as a river) to change its water flow characteristics. Weirs are constructed as an obstruction to flow of water. These are commonly used to measure the volumetric rate of water flow, prevent flooding and make rivers navigable.
