Advances in photonics have been providing enhanced data and information that leads to enhanced security system initiatives. The advances include new lighting sources, higher resolution cameras and expanded capabilities of nonvisible wavelengths. The collection of data is one of the fundamentals in security. The reason is that offenders or [...]
Diagnostic imaging and orthopedic magnetic resonance (MRI) technology plays a role in sports, and other medicine. When injured athletes are brought in, their joints are examined with traditional x-ray machines using lenses designed specifically for this purpose. In some cases, the diagnostic testing escalates to MRI machines to capture [...]
It may not be a reality yet, but in the future caregivers may be able to rely on robotic technology to help care for their aging parents. This would be a technology that would come in especially handy if your aging parents don’t live close by. Robotic technology can [...]
The medical field is seeing many advancements in early detection of several neurological conditions in newborns. Among the diagnoses are birth asphyxia, neonatal seizures, brain malformations, stroke and hydrocephalus just to name a few. The causes of said conditions can range from pre-mature birth to congenital malformations to genetic [...]
In recent years, the use of satellite imagery has helped researchers and scientists gather a clearer understanding of the effects El Nino, tidal and climate change, water pollution and predatory creatures have had, and are having, on our ocean system. The satellites have been able to gather information on [...]
Endocrine surgery involves the doctor operating on the patient’s glandular system including the thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal and pancreas. The diseases in these organs range from goiter to thyroid and pancreatic cancer to complex issues such as Conn’s Syndrome, Cushing’s Disease and Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Syndrome. Cutting edge techniques involve [...]
Back Up cameras are one of those technologies that automobile makers have been adding into their newer models because they enhance the safety of the driver and can help eliminate accidents. The wide-angle lenses that are incorporated into the technology are specifically designed for the automotive industry because the camera [...]
Using an advanced imaging technique, researchers at Albert Einstein College of Medicine and Montefiore Health System were able to predict which patients who'd recently suffered concussions were likely to fully recover. The study also sheds light on the brain's mechanisms for repairing or compensating for concussion injuries — information [...]
Sports fans love their games and spend a lot of time Monday-Morning Quarterbacking, especially when there are controversial calls on the field. A vision system using custom lenses, is schedule to be used at the next Super Bowl which will allow fans to be immersed in a three-dimensional look [...]
Because our skeletons break down over years of use and misuse, the fact that researchers were able to develop artificial joints means we can live longer, more mobile, healthier lives. Artificial joints can replace hips and knees to help us maintain an active lifestyle. Today’s total hip replacements can [...]
