The new patent suggests that Apple is thinking well beyond the iPad when it comes to the future of the Apple Pencil.

Here, we present a self-sensing piezoelectric traveling-wave microactuator. By integrating the capacitive encoder with the microactuator, high-precision step angle rotation can be achieved, ...

The encoder provides a 12-bit output, and the magnetic strips have poles spaced 2 mm apart. This translates to a theoretical resolution of almost 0.5 microns, but of course, the machine mechanics ...

These devices are ideal for oil and gas installations, chemical plants, woodworking operations, grain handling facilities and ...

In the age of robotics, automation, and precision engineering, success isn’t just about speed—it’s about accuracy. At the ...

Transferable polychromatic optical encoder for neural networks The authors demonstrate a multicolor optical chip which processes images using light instead of electricity, making computers faster ...

This paper discusses the design, realization and demonstration of high resolution absolute optical encoder based on a piecewise linear estimate of the sinusoidal signals. Opto-mechanical elements are ...
