Toshiba Corporation today announced that it will enter the linear image-sensor market for banknote recognition applications, a high growth business. The company has developed a contact image-sensor module (CISM) for banknote recognition as its first product, and mass production is scheduled for June 2013.
A research team in Japan exploring the functions of messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) – a molecule that encodes the chemical blueprint for protein synthesis – has discovered a way to take a close look at the temperature distribution inside living cells. This discovery may lead to a better understanding of diseases, such as cancer, which generate extraordinary intracellular heat.
The project brings together some of the leading European institutes with expertise in detectors for far infrared wavelengths – a few hundred times longer than the wavelength of visible light.
Precision sensor manufacturer Micro-Epsilon has launched a new IP69K-protected series of laser sensors that are suitable for measuring displacement, distance and position in demanding environments, including food and beverage processing and other harsh process manufacturing applications.
Pléiades 1B, the Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales (CNES) Earth observation satellite, has captured its first images using e2v high performance imaging sensors. Two types of e2v sensors (for panchromatic and multispectral imaging) equip the satellites high-resolution optical imaging instrument; these were selected by Thales Alenia Space, who is providing the HR instrument to Astrium, developed under CNES contract.
Researchers at Tokyo Institute of Technology produce new photoactive micelles with potential applications in photofunctional dyes and sensors.
Opgal, a world leader in thermal imaging technology, answers the needs of the petro and drilling industry's gas leak detection requirements with its EyeCGas™ Camera System. EyeCGas, an innovative, unique gas detection camera, has already achieved worldwide success for remotely detecting gas in the industrial environmental market.
IRCameras, announced today the IRC906sls, a new addition to their IRC900 Series scientific camera line. This infrared camera incorporates an innovative Strained Layer Superlattice (SLS) Sensor from QmagiQ which further expands the infrared market by allowing the IRC906sls to detect infrared radiation in both the mid-wave (MWIR) and long-wave (LWIR) spectral regions.
GridSense™, an Acorn Energy company that develops and markets advanced monitoring solutions for the electric power industry, has developed a robust, reliable and versatile camera for the safe inspection of energized high-voltage assets. Called the HighV Camera™, the device is rated safe for energized assets up to 345kV phase to phase.
Nanoelectronics research centre imec and Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Qualcomm Incorporated, announced today an extended collaboration agreement to accelerate scaling technologies for logic and memory devices. The first fabless integrated circuit company to become a core partner of imec, Qualcomm Technologies will gain comprehensive insight into all advanced process technologies under investigation at imec to help shape future product roadmaps.
