STUTTGART, Germany, June 6, 2008 -- A miniature conveyor system that uses wireless sensors with their own power supply could provide a long-awaited solution to assembly snafus. When a machine breaks down, production often comes to a standstill until the error is pinpointed -- and that can take hours. In many cases, it's all due to a single interrupted contact. Manufacturers have long sought technology that doesn't require vulnerable power and data cables. The idea is feasible using small devices that harvest energy from their surroundings and provide their own power supply, rather like a solar calculator....Read full article

    photonics
    The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
