‘Sensing Distance’

An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release Micro stepper motors bring pictures into focus from EMS, which we summarised at the time by saying "Electro Mechanical Systems has supplied Precistep micro-stepper motors to Life Optics to allow it to develop a compact, reliable and light-weight head-mounted microscope.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release CMOS digital photo IC for colour sensing from Hamamatsu Photonics : "Hamamatsu Photonics has introduced a 12-bit digital output colour sensor photo IC. ".
 
In November 2009, we covered the news from PCB Piezotronics - take a look at PCB sensor measures internal ballistics of guns which says: "The Aerospace and Defense division of PCB Piezotronics has introduced the Model 165B02 charge output pressure sensor to measure the internal ballistics of sporting, police and military shot guns.".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Hepcomotion, Hepcomotion rings produced in dedicated cell, as well as Dragon Runner robot supports military troops from Qinetiq, and Haydonkerk unveils programmable actuator with GUI from HaydonKerk Motion Solutions.
