Lorenzo Moggio cleaning sensors as part of his regular maintenance for scientific instruments.

 

During summer aircraft take off on an almost daily basis. Concordia is a hubbub of activity as researchers from disciplines as diverse as astronomy, seismology, human physiology and glaciology descend to work in this unique location.

 

For the rest of the year, around 14 crewmembers remain to keep the station running during the cold, dark winter months.

 

ESA sponsors a research medical doctor in Concordia to study the effects of living in isolation. The extreme cold, sensory deprivation and remoteness make living in Concordia similar to living on another planet.

This is a new textile sensor to measure water / wetness. It is 100% compatible with the Arduino platform. It detects water by changing its resistance from open circuit to a few megaohms.

A ratcheting crimping tool is is markedly better than the cheaper, non-leveraged crimping pliers.

 

This tool is used for the crimped connectors on either side of the diode, where I used insulated quick disconnect connectors. Quick disconnects allow you to change diodes easily to get different results.

A "technician" ordered a sensor for this oven that wouldn't heat.

The Aerosol Polarimetry Sensor (APS) is designed to study aerosols by observing how light behaves when scattered by the aerosol particles.

Sensor in original position was reading approx 5 degrees higher than ambient. Re-positioning resulted in correct temperature readings.

It's pretty annoying when you spend a load of cash on a new toy and the manufacturer hasn't ironed out all the kinks! It seems the mirror of my Nikon D600 is spraying lubricant on the sensor, as the spots visible here are not dust and have increased in number over time.

This shot is completely untouched other than being converted from RAW to JPEG. It is a worst case scenario shot, blue sky at f22, taken to illustrate the extent of the problem.

I took the camera to the shop today, they wouldn't replace the body, so I had to send it in to Nikon for repair. It will be gone for about 2 weeks after only 10 days of use. I am glad I didn't sell my K-5 (just most of its lenses).

It's a real shame as I was just getting used to the camera and liking what it can do. I'd stil recommend this camera, but I'd wait a year until they have fixed this quality control issue.

This is what I get for breaking my rule and buying a new product Day 1.

Oh well, I have got some spots to remove in Lightroom for the next batch of Kusatsu pictures...

For those who've wondered at my probably annoyingly often references to the damage to my camera, here it is in all its glory.

 

The only reason I'm sharing this is because of the amazing flare my 10-20mm produced here.

At NETL, Thomas Simonyi, left and Stephen Beer use a thermogravimetric analyzer to analyze heavy metals to determine their suitability for making thin-film sensors for natural gas.

 

NETL is teaming with Carnegie Mellon University and West Virginia University to develop sensor arrays that can respond to rapid changes in fuels gas composition. The ability to detect and respond to changes is increasingly important because of the anticipated increased usage of liquefied natural gas in the nation's pipeline of the system. The technique for sensing hydrocarbons such as methane (C1), ethane (C2) and propane (C3) involves characterize their crackling behavior over catalyst materials. The technique developed by NETL researchers differentiates the activity of platinum catalysts with C1-C3 gases from thermal cracking.

Do you clean your own sensor? I bought the MARUMI Low Pass Filter Cleaning kit which I will attempt to use next time I have dust on the sensor. Getting tired of having the camera shop do it.

Having great fun trying to figure what's wrong with one of our latest sensors!

SNL Dennis Roach with a Comparative Vacuum Monitoring (CVM) Sensor showing galleries etched-sensors underside. He lead team that's evaluating some-sensors for Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) aircraft and safety equipment.

 

The Comparative Vacuum Monitoring sensor is a self-adhesive rubber patch, ranging from dime-to credit-card-sized. The rubber's underside is laser-etched with rows of tiny interconnected channels or galleries to which an air pressure is applied. Any propagating crack in the materials under the sensor breaches the galleries and the resulting change in pressure in monitored. The sensors are made by Structure Monitoring Systems, Inc. (SMS) of Australia, are in expensive, reliable, durable, and easy to apply. They provide equal or better sensitivity than is achievable with conventional inspection methods. Besides, aircraft, SHM techniques could monitor the structural well-being of spacecraft, weapons, rail cars, bridges, oil recovery equipment, buildings, armored vehicles, ships, wind turbines, nuclear power plants, and fuel tanks in hydrogen vehicles.

All art is but imitation of nature.-- Seneca (Letters from a Stoic - Letter LXV: On the First Cause)

 

The universe itself is God and the universal outpouring of its soul. --Chrysippus (Quoted by Cicero in De Natura Deorum)

 

Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness

Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun

Conspiring with him how to load and bless

With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run;

To bend with apples the moss'd cottage-trees,

And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;

To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells

With a sweet kernel; to set budding more,

And still more, later flowers for the bees,

Until they think warm days will never cease,

For Summer has o'er-brimm'd their clammy cells. --To Autumn. by John Keats

New safety installation at the industrial railway of Stadler when crossing the main road. This system operates independently of the normal train protection. If a shunting loco stands above this sensor, the system can be activated by a smartphone app. Staad, Altenrhein, Switzerland, March 7, 2015.
