Automobile technology is always evolving and safety technologies are along for the ride! Lane departure warning systems are a new technology that is designed to prevent high-speed accidents. The way the lane departure system (LDW) technology works is by monitoring the lane markings on the highways and sounds an [...]
The National Cancer Institute reports that prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men, second only to skin cancer. Following lung cancer, prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in men in the United States. Light reflectance spectroscopy has been used by surgeons during prostate [...]
Traffic flows, license plate recognition and transport and traffic detection can be monitored through the use of surveillance camera technology. Whether you’re responsible for monitoring a parking lot, railway station, capturing license plate numbers or monitoring the traffic flow and traffic lights on a highway, finding the appropriate lenses [...]
Have you ever wanted to soar above the earth, but have your feet never leave the ground? If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to man an airplane, flight simulation is the technology that brings that dream to life. Pilots typically fly high above the earth, but [...]
Surgical Robot technology is not new. In 1985 a robot was used to perform a brain biopsy through CT guidance. In 1987 the technology was used in a laparoscopic procedure and in 1988 it was used to perform prostatic surgery. Robotic technology advantages The advantage to doctors, and there [...]
Glucose meters are being developed that have “lab-on-a-chip” methodology as a way to diagnose and hopefully prevent diabetes. The application of an optofluidic device enables detection of glucose in solution that requires only a droplet of sweat to test, rather than a drop of blood. Researchers from Hong Kong’s [...]
Facial recognition can help in the apprehension of criminals and be used to bring home missing or runaway children or adults. The technology allows the software manufacturer to input various facial parameters into digital templates for use capturing the video images. What can facial recognition security software do? Capture [...]
Cameras in vehicles are becoming more commonplace than in the past making it safer to be behind the wheel. Rear facing cameras may help guide you into a parking space or in backing into a garage without hitting an object because they will sound an alarm if you are [...]
Optical Interferometry is the technology that could enable ultrasonic methods to be used internally on patients to capture information about their heart and the heart tissue. Prior to this technology, ultrasounds would be used externally to examine a patient’s heart. The reason for this is that piezo electronic components [...]
Casinos are typically dark and loud and that can easily lead to unsavory activities taking place. Casinos are also, within the security landscape, difficult to monitor and the stakes are high when it comes to keeping the patrons and staff safe from potential dangerous activities. From the gamblers to [...]
