Principal investigator Jacques Loui, left, and a firmware developer are part of a team redesigning high-performance radar as a flexible, multipurpose sensor.
Researchers are working to replace legacy analog radars commonly used by the military with a new, digital, software-defined system called Multi-Mission Radio Frequency Architecture. The overhauled design promises U.S. warfighters unprecedented flexibility and performance during intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance operations, even against sophisticated adversaries.

I came across this interesting comparison on the internet today. I'm toying with the idea of getting another compact camera and at present it's a toss up between the Sony 100 iii (still available though newer models have been released) and the not yet released Panasonic TZ90.
The Sony has a 1" sensor whilst the Panasonic has a 1/2.3" sensor; this is somewhat outweighed by the Panasonic's longer optical zoom range and more flexible screen.
Given the generally poor performance of my Ricoh GR4 (which has a 1/1.7'' sensor) compared with my iPhone 6 (1/3'' sensor) perhaps I don't need another compact camera anyway.

THE WIRED ENERGY CONSUMER
The race is on to control every aspect of the house from electric vehicle hookups, solar and storage systems to energy management, which includes smart products such as Internet connected thermostats and appliances. Technology, big data, sensors, massive processing power and mobile apps will help make tomorrow’s homes be more energy efficient. The businesses that control these smart products will be able to tap into a tremendous amount of data about the habits of Americans, presenting a huge, new marketing opportunity. The utilities want to dominant this new business but so do a lot of big home security, cable and Internet companies. Who will be the winners and losers?

I was trying to clean my sensors on a Nikon D600 and D7000. The Bblow bulb i used had a plastic tip that shot out of the end and i was worried i may have cracked the mirror!
PNNL’s improved Sensor Fish is a small tubular device filled with sensors that analyze the physical stresses fish experience as they pass through dams and other hydropower structures. The device’s latest version costs about 80 percent less and can be used in more hydro structures than its predecessor, according to a paper published in the journal Review of Scientific Instruments.

"All Optimas have:
a HUGE brightline viewfinder that makes them useful to people with glasses;
one single thumb lever that winds or rewinds the film, depending on the polarity set by a push button;
a foolproof quick-loading system;
the big Sensor shutter release with a clear pressure point;
automatic exposure;
an f/2.8 lens (fast and practical);
a plastic slab that (briefly) protects the exposed film from fogging when you accidentally open the back;
a plastic-coated, all-metal body.
The Optimas are very transparently designed cameras (albeit very German in appearance and strangely reminiscent of the Plaubel Makina 6×7), and very compact too. They have an outer shell of plastic-coated metal and mostly metal internals, which makes them very durable. There are a lot of plastic parts, some of which are fairly vital like cogs and such, but I think that here plastics are not so much synonymous with cheapness and shoddiness, but with optimized mechanical characteristics and manufacturability."
There is a tiny little motor and gear box in this paddle sensor. Every now and again it would jump its teeth and start driving backwards for some reason.
A version of Sandia National Laboratories’ advanced sensor, called Icarus, is displayed separate from its ultra-high-speed, burst-mode camera. An Albuquerque-based startup plans to make the highly sought tech available to new markets.

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
A simple, quick, and very cheap circuit to turn on an LED when it gets dark. Read more about this project here.
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.
This is the CCD sensor out of a Casio Exilim digital camera. The LCD was shot, and it was not worth it to get a new one. Plus it was more fun to take it apart :)
That's a pair of wire cutters it's resting on.
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.
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...

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!

Thread the blue seal onto the wire, then the wire is crimped onto the pin tabs, two on either side (yellow arrow). I used a small pair of pliers to crimp, no special tool.
The large tabs on the pin are supposed to be crimped around the blue seal, to hold it in place. I didn't do this, as it makes soldering the wire onto the pin impossible. I just left the blue seal floating on the wire.
After crimping, carefully solder the wire onto the pin, with a minimum of solder. Use a tiny amount of solder, and be careful not to get any on the pin or pin body. Otherwise it will interfere with getting the pin into the connector.
Thin, low temp solder and a heat sink are helpful.
