The SA1E-X models of photoelectric sensors feature advanced optic function for transparent or translucent object detection, with optimum response speed of 500μs said to be one of the fastest on the ...

They’re dark patches of shade where light does not reach. Light can travel through transparent objects, like glass,or translucent objects like this clear silicone lid. But a shadow forms when an ...

Microsoft's Kinect is great, but it has its limitations. Not so MIT's new nano-camera, though, which uses similar technology but can weave the same magic with translucent objects, and even work in ...

Engineers at Ohio State University have created computer algorithms that model how light passes through translucent three-dimensional objects or fluids such as water, clouds, fire, and smoke.

A prototype "nano-camera" from MIT can measure distances at the speed of light, making it more accurate with rain or translucent objects.
