I use lasers to see things that are hard to see and measure with the naked eye. For instance, I developed a laser system that might be capable someday of assessing muscle health when a person flexes their arm. These lasers also help me see how an object changes during heat exposure when it is in a fire. #lasers #report #health #fire https://lnkd.in/eKXjs9y2

Visualisation of ultrasonic waves. Not gravitational ones 🙈 🔊✨ Ultrasonic Waves! 🌊🔬 Ultrasonic waves, sound waves with frequencies above the human hearing range (20 kHz), have remarkable applications across various fields! From medical imaging to industrial cleaning, these high-frequency waves offer innovative solutions that improve efficiency and safety. In medical ultrasound, these waves enable non-invasive imaging of internal organs, allowing for early diagnosis and monitoring of conditions without the need for radiation. This technology is vital for prenatal care, ensuring the health of both mother and baby. 👶💕 In the manufacturing sector, ultrasonic cleaning uses these waves to remove contaminants from intricate parts, ensuring precision and quality. This method is effective and environmentally friendly, reducing the need for harsh chemicals. 🛠️🌱 ultrasonic waves play a crucial role in sonar technology, aiding in underwater navigation and mapping. 🐋🌊 #UltrasonicWaves #Innovation #Healthcare #Technology #Science #Engineering #Sustainability

We're not done talking about bright light sources for hyperspectral machine vision yet. A light source that covers the SWIR spectrum reveals details invisible at other wavelengths. Finding suitable light sources for the SWIR spectrum can be challenging. LEDs, incandescent bulbs, and halogen lamps are inadequate, and conventional lasers only provide discrete wavelengths. A supercontinuum laser, such as the SuperK laser, provides bright light in the full 1700–2500 nm range. Vision Spectra recently published a comprehensive article about hyperspectral machine vision.

The most well-known animal with infrared vision to detect heat in the human body is the mosquito; they use specialized sensors on their antennae to detect infrared radiation emitted by body heat, allowing them to track humans down effectively. Other animals that can sense infrared radiation to some degree include: Pit vipers (snakes like rattlesnakes and pythons): These snakes have pits on their faces that act as heat sensors, giving them a highly developed ability to detect infrared radiation from prey.

🔥Thermal imaging cameras detect temperature differences in the environment, showcasing how the human body loses heat. ❄️ These cameras display temperature variations as color gradients: Warm colors (yellow, orange, red): Indicate higher temperatures, like body heat. 🌡️ Cool colors (blue, purple): Show lower temperatures, highlighting heat loss. 💨 Black or dark gray: Represent very low temperatures, often showing cold surfaces or backgrounds. 🖤 Follow @Science for continuous discovery! 🔬 #science #technology

Humanoid robots could be given a more lifelike appearance and other properties following research that binds engineered skin tissue to the varied surfaces of the machines! Carried out at the The University of Tokyo, the research could lead to other potential benefits for robotic platforms such as increased mobility, self-healing abilities, and embedded sensing capabilities. The team’s findings are detailed in 'Cell Reports Physical Science'. Taking inspiration from human skin ligaments, the team - led by Professor Shoji Takeuchi and his colleagues in the Biohybrid Systems Laboratory - added perforations into a robot face, which helped a layer of skin to adhere to it.

Viscous drag accounts for up to 50% of the total drag for aircraft and even more for ships and is ubiquitous in essentially any application involving the movement of an object through a fluid. However, the accurate measurement of the associated force – the wall shear stress – remains a significant challenge, especially in terms of capturing fluctuations of the shearing force. To address this, the 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲-𝗠𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗗𝗲𝗽𝘁. of the 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘂𝘁𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗽𝘂𝗹𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆 at the Deutsches Zentrum für Luft-und Raumfahrt e.V. 𝗱𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝘄𝗼 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗹𝗲 𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘂𝗽𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝟮𝟭𝘀𝘁 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝘆𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘂𝗺 𝗼𝗻 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗟𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗜𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗙𝗹𝘂𝗶𝗱 𝗠𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗰𝘀 in Lisbon. The measurements were performed in a turbulent boundary layer in the same wind tunnel facility at matching conditions and are validated with corresponding high-resolution, stereoscopic profile-PIV data. Finally, DNS provides the ground truth reference. Joachim Klinner will present a single-camera approach that makes use of aperture-encoded imaging to track micrometer sized particles within the first few 100 micrometers of a turbulent boundary layer using only a single optical access for both camera and laser. Velocity profiles and higher order statistics of the recovered wall shear stress vector are in excellent agreement with DNS data. In the #EventBasedImaging session, Chris Willert show how three synchronized PROPHESEE event-cameras can provide not only nice visualizations of the particle motion within the thin viscous sublayer of a turbulent boundary layer, but can also provide time-resolved maps of the wall shear stress distribution. The highly compressed nature of the event-camera signals allows for continuous measurements of minutes and beyond, at data rates equivalent to a high-speed camera operating at 10 000 frames per second – currently out of reach for state-of-the-art high-speed camera technology.
