This Design Idea utilizes an optical computer mouse's sensor for measuring rotation of a disk which can be mechanically connected to any sort of rotating apparatus. One feature is to allow adjustment ...

Although a resistor is a linear current sensor, it can't function as an emitter load in this application because of the variation in the dc portion of the emitter current. The wide range of ...

Titan Enterprises reports on how optical flow sensor technology has solved a high-tech problem - monitoring the flow of coolant to the world's most sensitive astronomical camera. The world’s largest ...

The device also uses optical flow sensors to track movement against a 2D surface. A button between the forefinger and thumb is used in place of the left-click button on a standard mouse.

Studying optical fibres functionalized by 2D materials. Courtesy: Jens Meyer (University of Jena) Researchers in Germany and Australia have grown two-dimensional materials directly on optical fibres ...

Published in Scientific Reports, their study takes us a step closer to affordable linear optics-based sensors with high performance characteristics.

Traditional computers are fast, but nothing like the speed of light—at 186,000 miles per second, you can crunch numbers awfully quick. That’s a big reason why optical photonics are being used for… ...

Kyocera Corporation has developed one of the smallest known optical blood-flow sensors, which measures the volume of blood flow in subcutaneous tissue ...

After detailed discussions around a type of sensor that could be used that is impervious to the unavoidable negative characteristics of the telescope’s cooling fluid - the Titan FT2 optical flow ...
