IR Sensors Make Smart Devices Smarter
From smart thermostats to sophisticated home security systems, IR sensors that detect presence and motion are making smart homes a reality. Thermal IR sensors are particularly well suited for machine-to-human interface because of their performance versatility, ease of integration, relative low cost, and sensitivity to human heat.

Machine Learning Technique Can Rebuild Images That Go Through Multimode Fibers
Using a deep neural network (DNN) that imitates the way the brain processes images, researchers reconstructed images transmitted over multimode optical fibers at distances of up to 1 km. The DNN was trained to recognize certain images (in this case, handwritten digits) until it was able to recognize other images that were from the same category.

Advanced Imaging Techniques Enhance Fluorescence Sensing
New developments in imaging technology, in combination with advanced microscopy techniques, are enabling new applications for fluorescence sensing. For example, by combining light sheet fluorescence microscopy with super-slow-motion imaging, it is now possible to construct a 3D representation of a sample.

Green Light on Lidar: Developing Low-Cost Systems for Autonomous Vehicles
Wed, Oct 3, 2018 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT
For driverless cars to see mainstream adoption, engineers must solve critical lidar design challenges. This webinar will discuss the factors critical in accelerating the development of lidar, including the need to be able to quickly try out and identify new solutions; incorporate manufacturing and assembly limits into design constraints to ensure manufacturability; and simulate the impact of mechanical designs on optical performance. With tools that provide these abilities, teams can reduce development time and lower costs to win the race for autonomous vehicle market share.
