New Spectrometer Sheds Light on Chemical Mystery
Aug 1, 1997 — GLASGOW, UK -- Determining the absolute configuration of molecules is a prerequisite to developing new medicines. So-called chiral molecules are common and yet complex entities, existing in two forms that are mirror images of one another. Among the simplest of them is bromochlorofluoromethane (CHFClBr), which has hidden the relationship between its three-dimensional structure and the sign of its optical rotation -- until now. A collaboration among scientists in France, Scotland and the US has...
Machine vision steals the show
Aug 1, 1997 — TUCSON, Ariz. -- Machine vision successfully made the move from laboratory to industry. Now it looks as if it might make it in the theater as well. Arizona State University's Robb Lovell and John Mitchell have picked up where mainstream machine...
Spacecraft has rendezvous with asteroid
Aug 1, 1997 — More than 100 years after its discovery, scientists at Johns Hopkins University's Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Md., finally got a close view of asteroid 253 Mathilde. Asteroid 253 Mathilde ( left) reflects only percent of the sun's...
Lasers Allegedly Blind Pilots
Aug 1, 1997 — The US Federal Aviation Administration is investigating four reports of pilots being temporarily blinded by lasers while flying aircraft in the Los Angeles area. The last reported incident occurred when the pilot of a United Airlines Boeing 737 felt...
Hawaii Receives Air Force Telescope for Satellite Tracking, Viewing
Aug 1, 1997 — A 10,000-ft-high mountain in Maui, Hawaii, is home to one of the world's largest telescopes. The US Air Force presented the new telescope at a July ceremony attended by Hawaii's US Sen. Daniel Inouye, US Reps. Neil Abercrombie and Patsy Mink and...
Photonics Brings Mars to the World's Living Rooms
Aug 1, 1997 — Every decade or so, in the void of space, photonics plays a pivotal role in an event that makes the universe seem a little smaller. A quarter of a century ago, images of man's first steps on the moon sparked America's interest. Today's interest is...
Sensors Are Key to Missile Interceptor
Aug 1, 1997 — The Pentagon has successfully tested an infrared sensor that will act as the "eyes" of a missile interceptor, which is part of a proposed nationwide defense system against enemy ballistic missiles. The infrared sensors are designed to identify and...
US Cracks Down on Laser, Chemical Exports Used in Weapons Manufacture
Aug 1, 1997 — The US Department of Commerce has expanded its crackdown on exports beyond nuclear weapons technology to encompass materials for making chemical weapons, including uranium and lasers. Undersecretary William Reinsch said the department has begun...
Auto Manufacturing:
Aug 1, 1997 — Despite its reputation as being conservative about adopting new technologies, the automotive industry has a firm grasp of photonics, and it actively encourages developments that can improve its bottom line. It's not a great stretch of the...
Computer Disks Require Precision Measurements
Aug 1, 1997 — In 1996, Seagate Technology shipped 26.8 percent of the world's hard disk drives, according to DISK/TREND. Company officials say process automation has been one of the company's keys to competitive success, and photonics is a major factor in quality...
Ophthalmology:
Aug 1, 1997 — Lasers have worked in ophthalmology almost since the laser was invented in 1960. Granted, the techniques have changed and new procedures have evolved, but ophthalmological lasers remain among the most widely used of all surgical lasers. Global...
Photonics in Industry:
Aug 1, 1997 — Photonics cuts and welds, verifies shapes and labels, and assesses function. It helps produce quality products and verify that quality. Quality issues are the stuff of symposia throughout the world. Every industry faces a steady and increasing...
Dentistry: Manufacturing Technology Works in the Mouth
Aug 1, 1997 — It doesn't take a huge stretch of the imagination to consider the possiblity that the technology that drills precise holes in metal parts might also be able to drill precise holes in teeth. The reality is that while lasers have been used for several...
Pharmaceuticals:
Aug 1, 1997 — The 1990s have marked a decade of significant change for quality control in the pharmaceutical industry. New governmental regulations in the US have prompted capital expenditures for automated inspection equipment that is increasingly replacing...
Power Generators:
Aug 1, 1997 — Energy use is increasing around the world, driven by expanding industry and populations. At the same time, concerns about the environmental impact of generating plants emissions are driving changes in designs and operation. To improve these designs...
Medical Imaging:
Aug 1, 1997 — The field of medical imaging has embraced numerous technologies in the last twenty years. Terms that were unfamiliar even to medical professionals only a few decades ago -- computed tomography, nuclear medicine, magnetic resonance imaging -- are now...
Chemical Industries:
Aug 1, 1997 — For years, the chemical industries manufactured products, ship them, store them and dispose of waste essentially unhindered. Environmental awareness, government regulation and economic factors over the last two decades have forced these industries...
Medical Sensing:
Aug 1, 1997 — Noninvasive medical sensors have been an enigma to many in the research and development sectors in recent years. So close to becoming viable, yet not close enough, they have inhabited the no manis land between the chalk board and the potentially...
Telecommunications:
Aug 1, 1997 — Telecommunications is primarily a photonic endeavor in the 1990s. Optical fiber carries signals from lasers to detectors, which just happen to turn those photons into electrons for the ride to a switch that sends it to a television, a telephone or...
Cardiology:
Aug 1, 1997 — Keyhole" is the buzzword for lasers in cardiovascular surgery, as it is in many other surgical disciplines. Minimally invasive procedures are being cultivated to reduce the injury and healing time for patients, and reduce the cost for insurance...
Semiconductors:
Aug 1, 1997 — A major change in the semiconductor industry is prompting considerable growth in the demand for instrumentation and manufcturing tools. Wafers are getting larger, and lithography design improvements are narrowing features' the line width and...
Can business learn from baboons? You bet
Aug 1, 1997 — STANFORD, Calif. -- It's a jungle out there. No one knows this better than Robert Sapolsky, a professor of neuroscience and biology at Stanford University. For years, Sapolsky has investigated the biological causes and ramifications of stress in...
Double-Digit Telecom Growth Predicted
Aug 1, 1997 — The overall telecommunications market (including equipment and services) grew 11% in 1996 and generated revenues of $298 billion. A market report put out by the Telecommunications Industry Association and MultiMedia Telecommunications Association...
