OMRON Corporation, Kyoto City, will introduce on April 1 the new confocal fiber displacement sensor ZW-7000 Series. Incorporating the new white light confocal principle of measurement, the ZW-7000 Series is a non-contact-type displacement sensor that can continuously measure the height of objects with various materials and shapes with an accuracy of microns while moving the sensor head.
Northrop Grumman Corporation has been selected by the Microsystems Technology Office of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to develop a next-generation navigation-grade inertial measurement unit (IMU) based on advanced microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology. The IMU is expected to enable navigation by sensing acceleration and angular motion, providing data outputs used by vehicle control systems for guidance.
The new compact, high performance eddy current sensor from Micro-Epsilon boasts features that surpass those of its competitors. Designed for fast, high precision displacement, distance and position measurements, the eddyNCDT 3005 system comes with active temperature compensation, is pressure-resistant up to 10 bar and can withstand operating temperatures of up to 180°C due to the compact electronic housing being integrated into the cable one metre from the sensor head. The system is factory-calibrated, making it ideal for machine integration, as well as for single or volume OEM requirements.
INDECT USA, the parking industry’s leading provider of sensor-based parking guidance systems, today announced the completion of an ultrasonic parking guidance installation at the Dallas Omni Hotel and Convention Center in downtown Dallas.
Lockheed Martin has delivered the 200th Electro-Optical Targeting System (EOTS) for the F-35 Lightning II. All 200 systems have been delivered on time or ahead of schedule for aircraft integration.
The GPS signal used for 'sat-navs' could help improve understanding of ocean currents, according to new research published in Geophysical Research Letters by National Oceanography Centre (NOC) scientists, alongside colleagues from the University of Michigan and Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
Garmin International Inc., a unit of Garmin Ltd., today announced vívofit 3, a daily activity tracker with one-year battery life and Garmin Move IQ. Building on the company’s popular activity tracker, the vívofit 3 adds new features, including Move IQ auto activity detection and intensity minutes. Capturing activities such as walking, running, biking, swimming and elliptical training, the vívofit 3 keeps up with users throughout the entire day.
Smart skin that can respond to external stimuli could have important applications in medicine and robotics. Using only items found in a typical household, researchers have created multi-sensor artificial skin that's capable of sensing pressure, temperature, humidity, proximity, pH, and air flow.
Existing GPS instruments at monitoring stations worldwide could be used to increase the speed and accuracy of tsunami warnings, according to new study accepted for publication in Geophysical Research Letters, a journal of the American Geophysical Union. Real-time Global Positioning System (GPS) measurements can be used to show how major earthquakes displace the ocean floor, cutting tsunami warning times by nearly 20 minutes and potentially reducing harm to coastal communities, according to the study's authors.
u‑blox, a global leader in wireless and positioning modules and chips, launched today the NEO‑M8P GNSS receiver modules delivering high performance down to centimeter‑level accuracy.
