A rugged, self-contained, resolver-based encoder, the Shaft-Tracker from Computer Conversions Corp. can replace less reliable optical shaft encoders. The device provides both incremental and true ...

Encoders are a vital component in many applications that require motion control and feedback information. Whether a system’s requirement is speed, direction, or distance, an encoder produces control ...

Researchers at the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering and CNSI (California NanoSystems Institute), led by Professor Aydogan ...

Knobs are ubiquitous in technology user interfaces, but touchscreens are increasingly replacing them for interface controls. The latest project from [upir] combines a rotating knob with a touchscreen ...

Optical techniques are methods that use light to probe or control matter. One prominent example is optical spectroscopy, which includes such methods as pump–probe spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy and ...

Engineering researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) have developed an advanced ...

The value of a mirror is in its clarity. If the reflection is cast by [danicakostic17]’s Uncooperative Mirror though, you’ll find anything but. It’s described as a useless machine, because it appears ...

Artificial crystals of light, consisting of hundreds of thousands of optical microtraps, are routinely created by interfering optical laser beams. These so-called optical lattices act as versatile ...

Abstract: This paper reports on a proof-of-concept SPAD-based (Single Photon Avalanche Diode) optical encoder. The work aims at demonstrating the advantages of SPADs over photodiodes, which are ...

Abstract: Existing link prediction methods for graph-structured data produce entangled node representations by indiscriminately aggregating neighborhood information. This entanglement of diverse ...
