Feb. 2007 - In February 2007 the SBX successfully traveled from Hawaii to the waters of the Aleutian Island chain of Alaska. It departed Pearl Harbor, Hawaii on Jan. 3, and conducted numerous sea trials and exercises while en route to Alaska, and also continued the calibration of the X-band radar mounted on top of the ocean-going platform.

Sandia National Laboratories researcher Ronen Polsky holds a prototype of a microneedle fluidic chip device able to selectively detect and painlessly measure electrolytes in the interstitial fluids that bathe skin cells. It features nine sampling needles, each only 800 millionths of a meter (microns) in height, and beneath them, a fluidic channel that can draw interstitial fluid over nine gold disk electrodes. Each disk can be tailored to detect a different analyte. The visible rectangular gold pads are electrical contacts.

A close-up view of the light sensor employed by the phase detection autofocus system in the DSLR camera I took apart after its shutter failed. The horizontal and vertical rows of dark rectangles are the light-sensitive elements. Horizontal rows detect vertical edges in the scene, and vertical rows detect horizontal edges.
The 5 mm scale bar drawn at the bottom of the frame shows the size of the sensor chip. The resolution of the 4k version of this photo is about 3 µm per pixel.
Replaced the IR sensor on our 42" Vizio LCD. Turned out to be pretty easy to do and an cheap ($9) fix.

My chimney sweep is also a fireman and persuaded me to get this!
Build the other connector the same way.
Be careful, and think it all through. The male-female connectors have to match the male-female connectors on the bike's harness and the sensor.
And...the wire with the diode has to match up with the sensor's signal wire (black wire, of the sensor's 4 wires).
The O2 sensor connector is behind the starter, and for most bikes the starter must be removed to access it.
Before doing anything, disconnect the negative cable from the battery to prevent a short.
Top yellow arrow points to the power connection to the starter. This is live even if the ignition is turned off. After disconnecting the (-) cable at the battery, then disconnect this wire.
Middle yellow arrow points to a friction fit connector. Just pull it off.
Bottom blue arrow points to the O2 sensor connector.
Using Arduino to get the cost of probeware down (for science education).
Vernier's cheapest interface is $61 and handles one sensor: www.vernier.com/mbl
Arduino Uno is $30 and has 6 analog inputs: www.sparkfun.com/products/9950
Our goal is to interoperate with this curriculum: www.concord.org/activities/research-focus/probeware
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 simple heartbeat sensor for arduino. Communicates each beat to the computer via serial over USB. A little script in Processing sends OSC messages to SuperCollider which makes a sound. Processing also displays a graph of beats per minute readings from the Arduino.
This version sends serial messages over the USB connection, a later version sends OSC messages over ethernet (even cooler!) (http://www.flickr.com/photos/chuck_notorious/4041494889/).
Next step: use the Arduino Ethernet shield to send OSC messages directly.
Next Next Step: Use this as part of a cool multimedia performance!

It doesn't work without the Kinect sensor, it's cumbersome (about the same size as a Sony Betamax!), it's heavy (about the same weight as a 3-month old baby!), it's not backwards-compatible (way to go Microsoft faggots!) and it's boxy & generic (what in the blue skies were u smoking?). In other words, it's a BIG BLACK F-A-I-L!
And should it be called 'Xbox Three'? Leave your opinions below
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.

In a retired jet at Sandia, Dennis Roach and Ciji Nelson prepare Structure Health Monitoring (SHM) Sensors.
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 is monitored. The sensors are made by Structure Monitoring Systems, Inc. (SMS) of Australia, are inexpensive, 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.

Just thought I'd share this little tip with everyone on how to check to see if you need a sensor cleaning. I noticed a couple of spots in the top right corner of some of my photos and thought it was the lens at first. After switching lenses and seeing that the spots were still there I thought I'd investigate sensor cleaning procedures.
I found this site:
www.cleaningdigitalcameras.com/inspecting.html
that explains how to take a test shot (seen above) to see how much dust is on your camera sensor. As expected I have a couple of dark spots in the top right of mine ... and a bunch of others I hadn't noticed in my photos.
It's been just over a year since I got my camera so I'm going to send it in for a professional cleaning which will hopefully get rid of 99.99% of the dust.
Hope this tip proves helpful.
A live juvenile fish (left) and the previous version of the Sensor Fish (right) are shown side-by-side as they’re exposed to a simulated dam turbine environment. This test helped PNNL researchers correlate the injuries some fish experience with the Sensor Fish’s measurements.
