Early detection of trace amounts of toxic gases in an open environment is vital for any successful attempt to contain subsequent damage. The sensors used must respond quickly and reliably in such a situation. A typical method to increase sensitivity is to use sensors that have a large exposed area. It is also desirable for the sensor to be small in size and to consume low power. These characterist

MUNICH, Germany — Through its subsidiary Jena-Optronik GmbH, optical technology group Jenoptik AG will supply twelve rendezvous and docking sensors to Mitsubishi Electric Corp. The sensors will be used to control the approach and docking process of unmanned vehicles to the International Space Station (ISS). According to Jenoptic, the value of the contract is in the double-digit euro range. For the company, it represents the largest-ever space technology assignment . The sensors are composed of a so called sensor head and an electronic processing box, with the latter one mounted inside the space vehicle. The value of the electronics represents about 50 percent of the total value, a company spokesperson explained, pointing out that also the optical part makes use of electronic technologie
by: David OstiguyMany articles have been written about vehicles that prevent a person from swerving; cars that automatically slow down or stop when the vehicle comes too close to an object, or my personal favorite, self parking vehicles.Most Luxury cars will have a feature where the driver will press a “Self Parking Button,” and the vehicle will park itself. But what about the people who cannot afford a luxury car? Instead of going out and spending an arm and a leg, why don’t you consider the option of purchasing a Parking Sensor Kit? There are many kits to choose from that all range in price to fit anyone’s budget. Parking Sensors go as low as $50. The Sensor Kit is easy to install and fits any vehicle. Some of the pricier kits require a little more work to install. If you are not
Photography has advanced considerably from its conception into the digital age. Along with such advancements come additional complications - different sensor types, a variety of sensor sizes, formats and files! So what does it all mean, and why does it even matter?A bit of backgroundEarly optical or photographic devices (such as the camera obscura) were little more than a simple opening - sometimes with an equally simple lens - that would allow light to pass through, the goal being to generate an image circle broad enough to cover the area required.Notice 'image circle' - given the physical properties of light, when it passes through an aperture (i.e. opening) it will reform the image as a circular image element; we simply crop this down to a rectangular image for convenience, partly because the image circle will not be sharp or bright to the very edges, nor are circular formats consistantly useful:Mike Lowemore : thinkcamera

New Kodak camera technology could make dark, blurry photos as thing of the past Eastman Kodak Company today announced what it considers a “groundbreaking advancement” in image sensor technology that will help reduce the accidental taking of dark and blurry digital photos. Kodak claims its new sensor technology provides a two- to four-fold increase in sensitivity to light (from one to two photographic stops) compared to current sensor designs. “This represents a new generation of image sensor technology and addresses one of the great challenges facing our industry – how to capture crisp, clear digital images in a poorly lit environment,” said Chris McNiffe, General Manager of Kodak’s Image Sensor Solutions group. “This is a truly innovative approach to improving digital photography in all forms, and it highlights Kodak’s unique ability to differentiate its products by delivering advanced digital technologies that really make a difference to the consumer.”
These are Electronic Sensors that are a part of the tire and provide information to the Vehicle Information System in order to improve alignment problems. This works by the CPU, which is located within the rim. These sensor's feeds detected information to the CPU, and then to the Vehicle Information System. This enables the Tweel ribs to flex through Wireless Technology. When flex occurs, the tire stays at a level pressure through down force on the inside wall of the tire by the ribs.By covering the outside surface with transparent rubber of the current Tweel design helps with water evacuation, cornering, esthetic and balancing problems resulted from ice build up.Designer: Sylvian Bryan
Recently got an email asking how I clean my camera.. so i decided to put a short list of acceptable cleaning practices digital photographers use today.
There are two ways to clean the sensor fo your DSLR.
dry cleaning method - is the safest way to clean your sensor since you dont touch the sensors surface. Only setback here is that it only takes out dust held on by static.
wet cleaning method - is more aggresive cleaning method that forces you to wipe the sensor with cleaning fluids using special pads or brushes, used mainly for dust that gets stuck to sensor with moisture.
The Best commercial Sensor Dust Cleaning products on the market not ranked in any particular order..
http://www.giottos.com - Use the rocket air.. only problem with this is that when the rocket air blows out air and dislodges the sensor dust, the rocket air also sucks in air.. if dust is sucked in then you will have a problem in your next cleaning session.

CCD and CMOS are the critical components that act as a camera’s “digital film.” CCD sensors are produced using a technology developed specifically for the camera industry, while CMOS sensors are based on standard technology already extensively used in memory chips–inside PCs, for example. Today’s high quality cameras use mostly CCD sensors. Although recent advances in CMOS sensors are closing the gap, they are still not suitable for cameras where the highest possible image quality is required. However, CMOS sensors may be ideal for entry-level network cameras where size and price are important factors.

CCD sensors have been used in cameras for more than 20 years and present many advantageous qualities; among them, better light sensitivity than CMOS sensors. This higher light sensitivity translates into better images in low light conditions. CCD sensors are, however, m

From simple thermistors to intelligent silicon microdevices with powerful capabilities to communicate information across
Nokia was recently granted a patent for a cell phone using orientation sensors to determine what orientation (held upside, on its side or right side up) a phone is in to automatically change the phone labels (keypads and screen information) (read patent). Additionally, the patent states that the phone will have embedded chips to sense velocity and direction when the phone is being moved. The patented features are similar to the popular controller for Nintendo's best-selling Wii videogame device.What is claimed is:"1. A mobile communication terminal having a user interface comprising: a display for showing information, a keypad including a plurality of hard keys, at least one of the hard keys being formed by at least a partially transparent key body that allows objects under the key to be seen through the top of the key, a pair of polarized films mounted, one over the other, for movement relative to one another under the keypad, labels disposed beneath the polarize
But critics say networks can be prone to malicious security attacks !!!LOS ANGELES - To the untrained eye, the sleek, airy building constructed atop a decommissioned nuclear reactor at the University of California, Los Angeles could pass for high-tech office space. A closer inspection of the glass-and-steel facade reveals dozens of miniature, low-resolution cameras and sensors. They're wirelessly linked to computers throughout the 6,000-square-foot space, keeping tabs on traffic flow in public areas and monitoring temperature, humidity and acoustics. The building serves as a testing ground for developing and perfecting wireless sensing technology to connect major chunks of the real world to the Internet. Such networks could monitor the environment for pollutants, gauge whether structures are at risk of collapse or remotely follow medical patients in real time. "I see this as the next wave of extending the Internet into the physical world," said computer scientist Deborah Estrin, who
