Printing Shape-Changing 3D Structures With Light
A high-resolution 3D printing process that uses light from a projector to print patterns on shape-memory polymers (SMPs) was used to fabricate structures that can morph back to their original shape quickly. The process, called microstereolithography, could be useful for creating structures for a variety of applications, from biomedical devices to photovoltaic solar cells.

Nano-Light Announces Flat Camera Patent
Nano-Light Technologies LLC has announced its U.S. patent for the technology of its nanoCam high-definition MP camera that can be flattened to the thickness of a postage stamp. The camera replaces the external lens to focus the image and collapses the entire apparatus. Each tiny lens rests over a sensor layer of a number of pixels depending on the limit of the lens.

Novel Monomer Enhances Resolution in Live-Cell Imaging
A novel protein with a fluorescent probe for imaging live cells could improve live-cell superresolution (SR) imaging. While the use of reversibly switchable fluorescent proteins (RSFPs) reduces illumination intensity and thus enables SR imaging of live cells, existing RSFPs are limited by their small number of switching cycles, low fluorescence signal and poor contrast.

Vision Guided Robotics
Thu, Oct 6, 2016 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT
In this free webinar presenter David Bruce of FANUC America will discuss the two subsets of VGR, 2D and 3D, and go over the proper techniques for selecting and implementing a vision guidance system that includes the latest advances in the technology. Bruce will discuss the steps required to set up and execute 2D and 3D VGR, including 2D pick and place and 3D bin picking. He will review the advantages of using virtual VGR in the engineering phase of large and small automation projects, the different software packages that can be used for VGR, and the trade-offs to consider when selecting a VGR system. David Bruce has been with FANUC America Corporation (FAC) since 1997. He is currently an engineering manager for a group of engineers that supports FANUC integrators and end users with iRVision applications.
