The total worldwide revenues for the motion control equipment industry were estimated at $9.9 billion in 2007, representing an 11.9 percent increase over the 2006 levels, according to IMS Research, a market analysis firm based in Wellingborough, UK. The company’s research showed rapid growth in the market in the first two quarters of 2008 – and then a significant slowdown in many segments in the second half of 2008 and in early 2009. The statistics cover computer numeric control and general motion control markets from a servo-system and position-control-hardware perspective. In April,...Read full article

    astronomy
    The scientific observation of celestial radiation that has reached the vicinity of Earth, and the interpretation of these observations to determine the characteristics of the extraterrestrial bodies and phenomena that have emitted the radiation.
    superresolution
    Superresolution refers to the enhancement or improvement of the spatial resolution beyond the conventional limits imposed by the diffraction of light. In the context of imaging, it is a set of techniques and algorithms that aim to achieve higher resolution images than what is traditionally possible using standard imaging systems. In conventional optical microscopy, the resolution is limited by the diffraction of light, a phenomenon described by Ernst Abbe's diffraction limit. This limit sets a...
