Physicians, radiologists and others in the medical profession have been using three-dimensional (3D) stereo-imaging to capture more realistic depth perception views of patients. This technology offers better views than conventional 2D imaging technologies and provides the doctor with a more accurate view and analysis of the patient. Stereo imaging, [...]
Details make the difference, especially when making precision cuts. Having a finished product that is polished and clean-looking is the end goal for manufacturers and they are finding the best way to attain that goal is through the use of a laser cutter. Laser cutting tools provide manufacturers the [...]
Researchers in London have devised a robotic surgical system that emulates the anatomy of wood-boring wasps. This system is used in spectroscopy to detect cancerous and diseased tissue. The prototype needle, based on the wasp, is a bendable needle-like ovipositor that bores into wood to lay eggs and hides [...]
Industrial video solutions are utilized by companies in the petrochemical industry as a way to improve safety and the productivity of oil rigs in the oceans. The industrial video cameras help secure pipelines and enhance the safety at tank farms in the deserts of the Middle East as well [...]
