Balluff now offers 5GigE Vision Cameras for industrial applications such as conveyor belt inspection and distance measurement. A key feature of these cameras is their low-level heat dissipation option ...

This is a library for the Arduino IDE that helps interface with ST's VL53L0X time-of-flight distance sensor. The library makes it simple to configure the sensor and read range data from it via I²C.

Every architect knows the struggle: One or two small errors in measurement snowball into chaos for the whole project. The budget rises. Safety suffers. Your timeline is now a mess and behind schedule.

NTT Inc. and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd. (MHI) conducted an optical wireless power transmission experiment using a laser beam to wirelessly transmit energy over a distance of one kilometer. By ...

Two recent innovative projects that are being enabled by lasers. How lasers make it possible to assess the very subtle magnetism of “non-magnetic” metals. The use of lasers to quantify ...

In a demonstration, a General Atomics optical communications terminal mounted on a De Havilland Canada DHC-6-300 twin engine aircraft established communications with a Tesat optical terminal on a ...

This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the risks associated with laser removal of tattoos exhibiting allergic reactions, highlighting key clinical and immunological considerations. Laser ...

"Our computer modeling suggests we could narrow laser linewidth by more than 10 million times using variations of the current design," says Professor David Spence, also from Macquarie University's ...

From illegal sidewalk parking to bike lane obstructions, violations captured by photo trigger an automatic report that gets sent to the PPA. Ee Durbin, tech lead for Philly Bike Action, shows off ...

Looking forward to a future where laser beams replace power lines, DAPRA's Persistent Optical Wireless Energy Relay (POWER) program has set new records for transmitting more power wirelessly over ...
