Accent on Applications News
The Many Colors of Fruit
Sep 1, 2001 — Two major problems with cherries are cracking and bruising. Cracking can occur when it rains near a harvest time, causing the cherry to grow too fast and bursting the skin. Photoni...
Inching Toward Fiber Alignment
Aug 1, 2001 — When the growing telecommunications industry faced the challenge of optical broadband data transmission, nanorobots became a practical reality. Burleigh had been developing Inchworm technology since 1974 for active optics, positioning and alignment....
Laser Pulses Make Nanotubes for Fuel Cells
Aug 1, 2001 — Spiraling oil prices and electric power shortages have once again put alternative energy resources on the national agenda. As some politicians regard the Alaskan oil fields with longing, researchers are racing to develop clean-burning solutions for...
Optical Engineers Shrink an Eye Imager
Aug 1, 2001 — Maintaining your identity in this age of digital encryption and optical counterfeiting is a problem that demands increasing technical sophistication. Signatures, passwords and fingerprints simply do not provide adequately inexpensive, fast and...
Organic Light Makes the Call
Aug 1, 2001 — Organic light-emitting technologies have been proposed for applications ranging from semiconductors to photovoltaics, but what’s really driving the development of these technologies is their benefit to the flat panel display industry. The...
Thermal Imaging for Tire Wear Detection
Aug 1, 2001 — Tire failure can be sudden and catastrophic. Perhaps no one knows this better than the families of 88 people whose deaths were linked to defective Firestone ATX and ATX II tires installed on Ford Explorers. While these two companies battle over...
3-D Inspection Scrutinizes Coffee
Jul 1, 2001 — In the deep, rich earth of Colombia’s misted peaks grows the Coffea arabica tree. Thriving only in the high altitudes of the South American Andes mountains and in the shadow of Afri-ca’s Kilimanjaro, the highly prized fruit of the tree...
Cameras Measure in Microgravity
Jul 1, 2001 — Colloid engineering is the concept that crystallized structures based on colloidal self-assembly can be made into tools. Materials that have a mixture of small, optically inert spheres combined with liquid crystals can be used as optical filters or...
Near-IR Detection Aids Airplane Deicing
Jul 1, 2001 — One of the greatest hazards to aviation is ice buildup on the control surfaces of an aircraft. If the ice is in front of an engine, it can be ingested during takeoff, causing a flameout. Ice also changes the aircraft’s handling...
Plastic Light Pipes Take the Heat
Jul 1, 2001 — Fiber optic data transmission is what many in the industry refer to as "dumb" or passive transmission. All of the system’s intelligence is concentrated in very expensive technologies that are managed by network carriers. What if the fiber...
Study Quantifies the Shades of Social Acceptance
Jul 1, 2001 — The subject of skin color is no less politically volatile than it was five decades ago during the height of the civil rights movement. Unfortunately, the social taboos against discussing color and its consequences have silenced legitimate debate...
Cool CCDs Make a Small Spectrometer
Jun 1, 2001 — Component integration of CCDs has been a persistent problem with designing spectrometers. The InSpectrum spectroscopy system integrates a Hamamatsu CCD within the box, so the user does not have to deal with external components. Many devices need...
Spectral Absorption Identifies Gem Origins
Jun 1, 2001 — Jeweler Pierre Cartier was legendary for spinning yarns about the exotic origins of his collection, associating gems with palace intrigues and religious talismans in far-off lands. His invention of the Hope diamond curse, based on a story by the...
Stabilized Lasers Contribute to Geology
Jun 1, 2001 — To the casual observer, most of the Earth appears to be quite stable. Only catastrophic events suggest a planet history of more subtle but persistent change. The long-base laser strain meter near the Salton Sea in California provides baseline...
CLEO/QELS 2001 Awards Ceremony
BALTIMORE, May 9 — The CLEO/QELS Plenary Session and Awards Ceremony was held Wednesday morning. About 800 attendees crowded into the Convention Center's Ballroom to honor their colleagues who were receiving awards and fellowships. The IEEE/LEOS Quantum...
Acrylic Windows Improve Scanning
May 1, 2001 — The material quality of a barcode scanner’s window may seem to be a trivial detail to scanner users, but careless material selection by the manufacturer contributes to misreads, failures and the need for frequent...
Dye Improves Insulin Studies
May 1, 2001 — Insulin therapy helps to control diabetes, but a better understanding of the disease could spare diabetics a lot of pain. Robert Kennedy bathed pancreatic beta cells in FluoZin-3, and continuously scanned them (one image per second) with a blue...
Gentle Handling for Unnecessary Roughness
May 1, 2001 — Rogers Corp. develops high-performance specialty materials for telecommunications electronics. The company's primary application is laminating copper foil to various dielectric substrates to insulate the layers on circuit boards. Ensuring a uniform...
Automated Imager Stalks Cells
Apr 1, 2001 — One challenge to studying organic molecules is that life is a process. Traditional methods of analyzing cell structures require that scientists isolate cells by freezing them in time, essentially removing them from the context that makes their...
Building a Better Souse Trap
Apr 1, 2001 — Whether passing someone on the highway or cruising at 30,000 feet in a plane, several times a day we entrust our health -- and sometimes our lives -- to the judgment of others. Alcohol or drug abuse can betray that trust, putting us in danger....
Infrared Imaging Keeps Feed Animals Fit
Mar 1, 2001 — The rate at which cattle metabolize feed can vary considerably. Despite this, their feed is portioned based on the average weight of the herd. That means that some animals are overconditioned and others aren’t conditioned enough. That type of...
Optical Fibers Weave Illumination for Web Inspection
Mar 1, 2001 — Datacube Inc. designed its Black Widow web inspection system to detect, measure and classify defects in rolled products ranging from aluminum to paper to plastic film. Its ability to stitch and process data from the edges and overlaps of adjacent...
Spectrograph Captures Data in Free Fall
Mar 1, 2001 — Aerial stunts are not typically associated with pure physics research. However, a group of physicists studying fullerenes --the nanoscale cagelike structures constructed of carbon molecules --have participated in several parabolic aircraft flights...
EXFO Reaches Agreement with Automation Equipment Manufacturer
QUEBEC CITY, Canada, Feb. 23 — EXFO Electro-Optical Engineering Inc. announced today that its affiliate, Burleigh Automation Inc., has signed an agreement to purchase substantially all of the assets of Vanguard Technical Solutions Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of DT Industries...
Alexandrite Laser Is Attuned to Flexible Lidar System
Feb 1, 2001 — The tunability of alexandrite lasers makes them adaptable sources for lidar systems that must detect a broad range of atmospheric constituents. Courtesy of Laser Energetics Inc. If you know what atmospheric constituent you are looking for, a lidar...
