Accent on Applications News
Photonic Components Team up to Speed Weld Joint Analysis
Jun 1, 1997 — A manufacturer of specialty coils for the automotive industry turned to Concepts in Computing in Beloit, Wis., to find a cost-efficient, effective way to test the electrical bond of coil leads that are wrapped around connecting legs and then welded. For a variety of reasons, including poor wire stripping, the bonds were not always perfect. The product's low resistance made resistance checks unreliable. In addition, the test had to be done after the coil and legs were encapsulated in the end...
Interferometer Helps Produce Reliable Touchpad Films
May 1, 1997 — Acheson Colloids Co. has produced screen-printed conductive films used in touchpad keyboards such as those on computers, automated teller machines, cellular phones and microwave ovens. But when a giant supplier of electrical devices challenged...
Laser Technique Reveals Metal Contamination in Soil
May 1, 1997 — Commercial ships require routine repainting, and when the old paint is sandblasted from the anchors and hulls, lead and other metals contaminate the soil. Environmental assessment of these sites typically involves collecting soil samples at various...
Machine Vision Ensures Quality in Bottle Tops
May 1, 1997 — Over 98 percent of bottles sold are returned, thanks to refundable deposits, and each one is refilled and reused by breweries 16 to 18 times. But, the wear and tear can sometimes produce almost undetectable cracks and chips in the bottle-top...
Sensor Helps Scrub Away That Troublesome Lasagna
May 1, 1997 — Whether it's baked-on lasagna or simple chicken soup, Maytag is making use of advanced sensors and technologies to offer dishwasher owners reductions in energy use, operational costs, water consumption and washing time. This "smart" dishwasher,...
Binocular System Improves Target Tracking
Apr 1, 1997 — Initial target acquisition presents problems for operators of portable video trackers. With a portable tracker, the operator cannot sit on the mount, but typically acquires the target with a joystick. In a featureless sky, it is often difficult to...
Fast, High-Resolution Cameras Image the Sun's Surface
Apr 1, 1997 — To the average person, the sun is a celestial body around which the Earth and other planets revolve. It's a source of warmth and light. Many don't realize that the sun is a star, and an interesting one at that. But researchers at the Big Bear Solar...
Infrared Imager Helps Evaluate Papermaking Process
Apr 1, 1997 — The papermaking industry is among the highest consumers of energy in the US, and researchers at the Institute of Paper Science and Technology (IPST) in Atlanta are working to make the process more energy efficient. They chose Secaucus, N.J.-based...
Solar-Powered Camera Focuses on Eagles
Apr 1, 1997 — Northeast Utilities and the Massachusetts Div. of Fisheries and Wildlife have been working together since 1989 to protect and nurture a nest of bald eagles at Barton Cove, in Gill, Mass., one of only nine known nests in the state. There are five in...
Laser Sensors Help Reduce Waste at Wood Fiberboard Plant
Mar 1, 1997 — Eliminating waste is a prime concern for any manufacturing plant, not only from the financial standpoint, but also from the environmental one. At a Swanboard AB wood fiberboard manufacturing plant in Larvik, Norway, the problem was how to...
On-Line Inspection System Produces 99% Satisfaction
Mar 1, 1997 — The thought of inspecting a million cans of food a day -- almost 700 cans per minute -- is daunting even with the advantages of today's high-speed automation. And when you add to the job a goal of 99 percent overall product quality and production...
Photonic Cleaning Process Moves to Heavy Industry
Mar 1, 1997 — A process originally developed for the microelectronics industry and typically used for keeping semiconductor components free of minute contaminants could now prove to be a boon to tire manufacturers. In an unusual case of technology transfer, one...
Positioning Device Helps Man Understand Earth's Past
Mar 1, 1997 — A network of cliff dwellings cut by prehistoric Amerindians and then abandoned without so much as a how-do-you-do confounded archaeologists at the turn of the century. But one man had an idea: Maybe climatic change had something to do with the...
Faster than a Speeding Car
Feb 1, 1997 — Americans love their cars. But the feeling of freedom associated with a full tank of gas has turned into a dread of mobile prisons for many urbanites as traffic jams turn daily commutes into daily crawls. In June and again in October 1996,...
Hyperspectral Imager Sends Answers from Above
Feb 1, 1997 — In the Colorado River valley, farmers have been trying to keep crops alive with water that was apportioned by the federal government back in 1923. Unfortunately, the river reached its highest point in a century in 1923, leaving farmers with two...
Lidar Protects Against Biological Warfare Agents
Feb 1, 1997 — The recent controversy over the possibility that biological warfare agents may have caused the dire illnesses plaguing the men and women who fought in Operation Desert Storm has surely captured everyone's interest. Detecting and tracking these...
Meeting the Challenge of Testing High-Performance Demultiplexers
Feb 1, 1997 — The advent of dense wavelength division multiplexed (DWDM) telecommunications systems has brought with it new development and production challenges. Among these is the configuration of test equipment that meets the requirements of the device to be...
New Fiber Optic Source Speeds Component Testing
Feb 1, 1997 — Lightwave telecommunication systems are meeting today's spiraling demand for increased bandwidth by adding multiple wavelength channels to each fiber. Wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) systems deliver 10- to 40-Gb performance on a single fiber,...
Detector & Camera Applications
Jan 1, 1997 — World travelers know that "getting there" is not always glamorous. They have stories of missed flights, jet-lagged meetings and worse. But now they can feel a little safer because of a device about the size of a pager. A relatively new cause of...
Imager Helps Standardize Process Transfers
Jan 1, 1997 — In the advanced materials processing arena, the use of low-pressure gas discharges is on the increase in applications such as the creation of submicron microchip architectures and thin diamond film deposition. Plasma conditions and processes are...
A Rose Is a Rose, Is a Rose ...
Dec 1, 1996 — Or a blue, a purple or a yellow. Art directors and designers of brochures, advertisements and other printed material usually are very specific about which color they want for their art. If it has to be Coca-Cola red, a variation just won't...
Holographic Interferometry Helps Make Beautiful Music
Dec 1, 1996 — This is the time of year when one hears the pealing of holiday bells. We take the sounds for granted, but how do bell makers know that their musical instruments are producing the best possible sound? One manufacturer teamed up with Northern Illinois...
Virtual Reality Goes to College
Dec 1, 1996 — The business of educating students at all levels of learning is growing more complicated as the world grows more complex. Today's students learn not only with traditional lectures and reading assignments but also with lab projects, video and...
