Distributed fiber-optic sensors are widely used to monitor temperature and strain in infrastructure, but their spatial ...

Using their Mosquito fabrication method, the researchers created a fan-out pattern of multiple thin light paths inside a thin sheet of PDMS. This created four optical channels that could be used for ...

Understanding acoustic feedback in hearing aids. Power consumption challenges in hearing aids. Functionality integration and its impact on energy consumption. The benefits of using photoreflectors for ...

For decades, people with diabetes have relied on finger pricks to withdraw blood or adhesive microneedles to measure and manage their glucose levels. In addition to being painful, these methods can ...

Featuring Two Interface Panels and Adjustable Performance Parameters, Kit Allows Designers to Easily and Inexpensively Evaluate VCNL4000 for Their Applications Vishay Intertechnology today introduced ...

The Optipact motion sensors determine rotational or translational velocities of machinery or products in a wide variety of applications. The sensors are built around an optical system: The velocity of ...

Each layer contained an image sensor, an optical communications system, and an artificial synapse array which was designed to recognize a specific letter – M, I or T. To test it out, the researchers ...

The rough waters experienced by the optical networking sector over the last year have forced equipment designers to lean away from all-optical switching systems toward tried-and-true ...

Cameras may soon see without lenses, and the change could be as profound as the leap from film to digital. A new imaging technology developed at the University of Connecticut promises to rewrite the ...
