Sensors & Detectors News
An Olympian Feat in the Sky
Nov 1, 2008 — The 2008 summer Olympics in Beijing showcased world-class athletic prowess side by side with spectacular new green technologies. While the aquatics center called the Water Cube appeared to undulate with light, thanks to LEDs, in the Olympic Village, photovoltaics (PV) and thermal solar systems were providing hot water for the athletes, and PV panels were powering the LED street lamps. The Beijing National Aquatics Center, known as the water cube, was designed with special LED lighting...
Color Analyzers
Nov 1, 2008 — Color analysis is a powerful detection tool. Its ability to ferret out information about the absorbance and reflectance properties of a material makes it ideal for identifying a range of characteristics. Applications surround us, from paint-matching...
Congress fast-tracks laser weapons
Nov 1, 2008 — WASHINGTON – As part of the $612.5 billion 2009 defense appropriations bill signed into law by President George W. Bush in mid-October, Congress fast-tracked Defense Science Board (DSB) recommendations that the military focus on the promise of...
Every Photon Counts, So Count Every Photon
Nov 1, 2008 — Every photon does count, not only in research but also, increasingly, in business. Single-photon detection is at the heart of quantum communications, which offers absolute protection against eavesdropping. The technology is moving out of test beds...
Eyeballing security
Nov 1, 2008 — HAMAMATSU, Japan – Our unconscious eye reflex movements are unique to each of us, so unique that they could be used as our key to positive identification in security settings. Even if a third party with ill intent – an infiltrator, if you will –...
Fatal Attraction
Nov 1, 2008 — Since their advent in the 1980s, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), micro-size machines with moving parts, have promised to revolutionize all aspects of industry by putting small, less power-hungry compact systems on a chip. But integrating MEMS...
Hybrid Sensing Collaboration Formed
Nov 1, 2008 — SensorTran Inc. of Austin, Texas, has signed a cooperative agreement with Micron Optics Inc. of Atlanta to offer an integrated hybrid fiber optic sensing solution. Offering distributed temperature sensing and fiber Bragg grating point sensing...
Light Armor Keeps Workers Safe from Harm
Nov 1, 2008 — The factory floor hums with human and mechanical activity. Industrial robots weld steel, conveyors move parts, cameras scan inventory, and lasers mark pieces prior to assembly into a final product. Trays of parts feed into the processing floor, and...
Lockheed Martin acquires Aculight
Nov 1, 2008 — BETHESDA, Md. – Global security company Lockheed Martin has acquired Aculight, a Bothell, Wash.-based maker of laser-based solutions for the defense, aerospace and medical industries. Aculight has four major business areas: countermeasures, laser...
Optics Make Lasers Safer in the Long Run
Nov 1, 2008 — Originally characterized as a solution in search of a problem, lasers now are the answer to a host of problems. Two recent examples show just how laser optics enable new applications. One promises to make a common safety tool – the light barrier –...
Plutonium scare drives NIST overhaul
Nov 1, 2008 — GAITHERSBURG, Md. – According to a Sept. 1, 2008, report by Tim Kauffman of the Federal Times, a guest researcher was shot in the eye with an infrared laser while placing a slide on a microscope at the National Institute of Standards and Technology...
Pulse Rate, Pressure and Heart-Condition Monitoring Glasses (US 7376238)
Nov 1, 2008 — A pair of health glasses powered by a battery and solar cell has been invented to monitor the heart’s vital signs. LEDs emit light into a human’s temple, and the cells capture light reflected from the pulsing blood. Embedded circuitry cleans and...
Caltech Suing Camera Makers
PASADENA, Calif. Oct. 30, 2008 -- The California Institute of Technology (Caltech) is suing six electronics giants that it says are illegally profiting by using its patented technology in their digital cameras. In a complaint filed Oct. 15 in the US District Court for the...
Electronic Noses
GAITHERSBURG, Md., Oct. 30, 2008 – Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have created a new approach for “electronic noses.” Marrying a sensitive detector technology capable of distinguishing hundreds of different chemical compounds with a...
