Rectangular or cylindrical? Comparing the enclosure types. Determining wall thickness. How does the enclosure's orientation impact performance? In Part 1, we covered modal analysis, the Timoshenko ...

Because of the way light diffracts in a conventional microscope, a single fluorescent protein (FP) two nanometers in diameter will look like a blurry disk around 250 nanometers wide, says biophysicist ...

In order to take full advantage of the performance and features of environmental sensors — e.g., humidity and temperature sensors — mechanical design rules need to be considered. In order to take full ...

It may not look like much, but this anonymous-looking plastic box could represent the future of military sensor and surveillance systems. It’s a prototype of a DARPA (Defense Advanced Research ...

Wireless real-time radiation sensor networks offer the general public and those that work in high radiation areas greater protection against radiation hazards. Combined with real-time localized and ...

Machines need sensors and transmitters to operate reliably and consistently. All it takes is a small drop in air pressure or a slight jam to cause a machine to crash; these sorts of problems can often ...

While sensors and low power actuators occupy the lowliest level of an automation system, they often require a disproportionate amount of time and attention. Historically, each sensor added entailed ...

When one thinks about an application with two image sensors, the first thought is likely to be a 3D camera. However, there are numerous designs that can be improved by using the data from two image ...

It’s a simple goal: build a waterproof box full of environmental sensors that can run continuously for the next century. OK, so maybe it’s not exactly “simple”. But whatever you want to call this epic ...
