Google’s Street View team famously photographs all kinds of weird stuff as they drive the world, but Navteq, who basically invented this stuff, just built a mount with seven cameras and 64 lasers to see everything better, in 3D.
Mounted atop a VW Jetta wagon is this crazy apparatus with a 12-megapixel panoramic camera on top and six more cameras pointed in specific directions to pick up signs and other data points. But the best gadgetry—the laser array—is housed inside a rapidly spinning barrel positioned at an angle. By using LIDAR, basically radar but with lasers, they scan everything within view, capturing 1.2 million points of data every second. The result is all kinds of terrain data that is not possible using just cameras.
The goal is “high accuracy maps,” a deliberately vague notion that ranges from additional information—bridge underpass clearance heights, multilayer cloverleaf navigation and other obvious issues—to super rich 3D environments like the ones you see below. Those aren’t CG renderings, in the traditional sense, it’s laser-enriched photography.
Navteq, a Chicago company owned by Nokia who has been driving around making maps since the first GPS satellites were hurled into orbit, still provides a massive share of map data for web and devices, so the fruits of this tech might get to you sooner than you know.
As for your own personal rig, I sure want one, and my guess is that Google wants one too—if they don’t have it already. [Navteq]
The allroundtalent mic+ with film-coated ultrasonic transducer: crm+. Thanks to the dirt-repellent membrane and its stainless steel housing the crm+ sensor copes with maximum operational demands.
Filling often entails some spatter getting onto the sensor membrane. The risk here is that the sensor membrane might get damaged.
In such instances microsonic has now fitted out the mic+ ultrasonic sensor with a protective foil making it easy to remove caked-on soiling, such as hardened casting compound and cement spatter. The protective film is also highly resistant to corrosive media. The threaded sleeve is made of 1.4571 stainless steel.

London / Munich, 4th November 2009 — Renesas Technology Europe today announced the release of a total of eight versions of the SH7266 and SH7267, two new high-performance 32-bit MCU products with an on-chip SRAM size of 1.5 MB, that are intended for embedded applications in the industrial and consumer fields such as displays for digital audio players or graphical dashboards. Sample shipments will begin in February 2010.
The SH7266 and SH7267 are the enhanced products of the SH7260 Series that belongs to the SuperH™ *1 Family of high-performance 32-bit RISC MCUs. They each have 1.5 MB of large-capacity on-chip SRAM, an increase of 50% from the 1 MB of earlier MCUs in the SH7260 Series, to take the place of external synchronous DRAM (SDRAM). This makes it possible to implement a VGA display (640 × 480 pixels) without the need for external SDRAM. The large-capacity SRAM can be used as a display frame buffer or as a work area for storing programs or data. The SH7266 is available in a 144-pin QFP package and the SH7267 in a 176-pin QFP package.
The SH7266 and SH7267 each have 1.5 MB of large-capacity on-chip SRAM that can be used in place of external SDRAM as a program or work area. The large-capacity SRAM can also be used as a display frame buffer for video data, eliminating the need to use external SDRAM for the frame buffer. When used as a frame buffer, the large-capacity SRAM can store two frames of video data in VGA format, an increase from the WQVGA format (480 × 240 pixels) of earlier products in the same series, which can be displayed on a TFT LCD panel via a display controller. This contributes to reducing overall system cost and size.
The SH7266 and SH7267 provide a new video display controller and digital video input pins for use with graphical and video display applications. These support functionality such as video recording, size reduction, alpha blending effects (superimposition of transparent or semitransparent images), and superimposition of video input. Digital RGB output pins allow output of images or video in RGB565 format (in which each colour is represented by 16 bits: 5 bits for the red [R] component, 6 bits for green [G], and 5 bits for blue [B]) at up to VGA size.
This on-chip functionality makes it possible to develop products, such as car information systems with rear-view or side-view camera display and midrange or low-end graphical dashboard systems, using fewer devices and at a lower cost.

• normal construction steel with austenitic chrome alloy steel welded cladding e.g., in boilers, vessels, etc.
• duplex steel.
This easy-to-use instrument has an USB interface for a PC and printer connection and an optional Bluetooth interface. It offers memory for up to 20.000 measurements with up to 100 applications. Further a detailed statistical and graphical evaluation is possible.
The calibration of the FERITSCOPE® FMP30 is traceable to internationally approved IIW secondary calibration standards. The instrument therefore meets all requirements of ANSI/AWS A4.2 and DIN EN ISO 8249 as well as of the “Basler” standard.
Armacell has further enhanced the technical properties of its PET foams and is at thecutting edge of technological development with the new ArmaFORM PET AC.
Light weight and high mechanical strength in conjunction with residual flexibility and maximum service life – these are the main material requirements for modern composite materials. In recent years, PET foams have been able to secure an established place among the core materials for sandwich constructions.
As a pioneer in the field of PET foam technology, Armacell was the first manufacturer to succeed in greatly improving the flexibility of the material, thus qualifying PET foams for industrial applications. The central technical properties such as shear elongation, compression modulus and shear modulus were constantly optimized and in 2006 Armacell produced ArmaFORM PET 100, a PET foam which has since become the state of the art in the field of composites.
Now Armacell is again raising the bar for the competition: the new ArmaFORM PET AC foams display properties which have been enhanced even further. In comparison to the predecessor product, the shear elongation and therefore the damage tolerance and flexibility of ArmaFORM PET AC 115 have been optimized from 10 to 20 % (in accordance with ISO 1922). At the same time, other important technical values such as the compression modulus have been kept at the usual high level. With the new material Armacell not only has an advantage within the industry, but also improves the position of PET foams in competition with other core materials such as PVC, SAN or balsa.
To be in an even better position to fulfil the specific requirements of such diverse areas of application as wind turbine construction, transport and shipbuilding, Armacell now offers a wider range of the new ArmaFORM PET foams: ArmaFORM PET AC is manufactured in the densities 80, 100, 115 and 135 kg/m³.
PET foams have the advantage of high temperature resistance and withstand short-term curing temperatures of up to +180 °C. This heat resistance leads to considerable savings in composite production methods (e.g. the prepreg procedure). And there are further benefits: ArmaFORM PET foams are completely recyclable, they score well in the fatigue resistance test and no toxic gases are generated in the event of a fire.
Hirox is pleased to announce the release of a new 2D and 3D tiling software in real-time up to 100 Million pixels!
Increase the field of view up to 50 times and create 2D and 3D images up to 100 Million pixel!
• Real-Time 2D Tiling Feature
It is a constant challenge for optical microscopes to capture with a high optical resolution and a wide field of view simultaneously.
This original algorithm from Hirox achieves quick tiling in real time, increasing the field of view from 1200 x 1600 pixels up to 10000 x 10000 pixels (100 Million pixel), while retaining a high optical resolution.
This new process does not require a specified position to match tile to tile. The image will automatically begin tiling seamlessly in real-time just by moving the XY stage.
• Real-Time 3D Tiling Feature
In an optical system, 3D images are produced by vertically stacking the depth of field, focus point to focus point. However, at low magnification this method is not possible, because the depth of field is too high.
Until now, height information could only be gathered in the vertical axis. But by allowing the user to continuously stack the depth of field, focus point to focus point with the freedom to move horizontally, the user can create a 3D model with a field of view as if it were captured with a low magnification lens.
The solution is 3D Tiling, a combination of high magnification Z-axis image stacking and a wide field of view.

The Advantages of a Lisk Solenoid Operated Valve are Clear:
Speed – Depending upon a number of factors, response times in the range of 5-15mS are not at all uncommon for a Lisk electromagnetic actuated valve.
Control – With today’s advanced controllers coupled with our abilities to produce solenoids with linear force curves and pinpoint tolerances, precision control is everyday at GW Lisk.
Customization – Our engineers specialize in special. Whether it is unique or corrosive media, excessive pressures, high flows, or extended cycle life, we can help. Our countless unique designs leave our customers with an engineering resource toolbox filled to overflowing.
Energy – It is the inherent nature of an electromagnetically actuated solenoid valve to develop higher forces at smaller air gaps. This means when your valve energizes and opens (or closes), power use can be cut way back while maintaining the same initial forces.
