Contact Lens with Built-in Sensor Helps Determine Disease Progression in Glaucoma Patients

A contact lens with a built-in sensor could help determine which glaucoma patients have a higher risk of disease progression, according to a new study. Researchers from Columbia University Medical Center found certain patterns of electrical signals emitted from the “smart” contact lenses correlate with a faster rate of glaucoma progression. The findings are being published online today in Ophthalmology, the journal of the American Academy of Ophthalmology.

Panasonic Announces Development of APD-CMOS Image Sensor

Panasonic Corporation today announced that it developed the CMOS image sensor (APD-CMOS) that uses avalanche photodiodes (APDs) in each pixel. The company has succeeded in obtaining 10,000 times multiplied electric signals by means of the APDs' multiplication of photoelectrons that are generated by photoelectric conversion in the photodetector. This allows you to take sharp color images even under starlight (illuminance of 0.01 lux) or in other similarly dark places.

EVT Introduces EyeMount Mounting and Positioning System for Vision Sensors and Cameras

For mounting cameras, vision sensors, mini-PC, displays and lighting for machine vision, EVT presents now EyeMount. The mounting and positioning system disposes the usual flaws of the conventional fixtures. EyeMount offers a permanent fixation of the monitoring unit. It is also possible to carry out an aligned adjustment, without an involuntary rotary movement. The mounting is also very easy. This means that the positioning can be reproduced and the for mounting and adjustment the user only needs two Allen keys.
