Vibrating structure gyroscopes
Caroline LangmaidResearch and development of solid state gyroscopes has been, for a long time, ongoing within British Aerospace (Systems & Equipment) Ltd, (BASE). BASE, in order to be a leader in…
Universal sensor interface chip (USIC): specification and applications outline
P.D. Wilson, R.S. Spraggs, S.P. HopkinsThe universal sensor interface chip (USIC) represents a complete signal processing capability for data acquisition systems designed to support a wide range of sensor applications…
Where there’s muck there’s (funny) money – and a sensor or two
Don BragginsRecycling plastic presents two problems which, if not solved, yield recycled material of poor mechanical properties and the same drab colour. Plastics must be sorted by type to…
Fast traffic at 28th ISATA
Gareth J. MonkmanReviews the 28th International Symposium on Automotive Technology and Automation (ISATA), which was in six parts, covering most management and technology relevant areas to the…
Automatic vision for dimensional measurement
Reimund SchmaldA new off‐line measuring technique using standard video and PC technology has been described. The image of the object to be qualified or measured is illuminated, digitalized by a…
Fibre‐optic gyroscopes: a new sensor for robotics and autonomous vehicles
Michael Reunert, Bob YoshidaGyroscopes are simply devices which measure rotation. For robotic applications the gyro output can be used to determine rotation rate, altitude or heading and can be combined with…
Structured light tracks seams
Bojko VodanovicDescribes a rugged, high speed structured laser light triangulation‐based vision‐type sensor, with real‐time image processor, along with some actual applications. High speed is…
Position and orientation sensing in virtual environments
Robert J. StoneLooks at changes in the human‐computer interface, particularly in the field of using computers for applications which require an accurate registration from an input device in “six…
