Chicago-based Cobra Electronics today announced the launch of its new Super-Xtreme Range Superheterodyne(TM) Maximum Performance 12 Band(TM) 2008 radar line. Following the success of the wireless remote controlled XRS R9G, the new line once again offers drivers detection of the fastest radar and laser guns -- including POP Mode and KU-Band-high-resolution full-color displays and other Cobra radar mainstay features drivers have come to rely on. Cobra's 2008 radar products offer maximum performance at prices that challenge competitors' products with less features and higher prices.
Mobius Photonics Inc. announced today that it has entered into an exclusive licensing agreement with Harvard University regarding United States patent #5,745,284. The patent is based on the pioneering work of Lew Goldberg, Dahv Kliner, and Jeffrey Koplow. It broadly covers UV laser sources based on the harmonic wavelength conversion of the output of a seeded amplifier, particularly a fiber amplifier.
The Boeing Company, industry teammates and the U.S. Missile Defense Agency have achieved the final 2007 milestone for the Airborne Laser (ABL) program, capping a successful year for the revolutionary airborne directed energy weapon system.
Early detection is critical to maintain healthy vision. With almost two-thirds of adult Americans, who do not wear corrective lenses, not receiving regular comprehensive eye exams, millions of people are putting their vision and their quality of life at risk, according to the American Optometric Association.
Electro Scientific Industries, Inc., a leading provider of world-class photonic and laser systems for microengineering applications, today announced that it has received a substantial order from a leading North American analog integrated circuit (IC) manufacturer for its Model 2100 thin-film-on-silicon (TFOS) laser-trimming system.
QPC Lasers, a company in the development and commercialization of high brightness, high power semiconductor lasers for the consumer, industrial, defense, and medical markets, announced that it has won a major contract to develop and deliver lasers to be used in rear projection televisions based on DLP and LCOS technologies.
NeuroMetrix, Inc., a medical device company advancing patient care through the development and marketing of innovative products used to diagnose and treat diseases of the nervous system, neurovascular disorders, and pain, announced today that it has acquired substantially all of the assets of EyeTel Imaging, Inc. and has assumed certain specified liabilities in connection with the acquisition.
An analysis by the international LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory) Scientific Collaboration has excluded one previously leading explanation for the origin of an intense gamma-ray burst that occurred last winter. Gamma-ray bursts are among the most violent and energetic events in the universe, and scientists have only recently begun to understand their origins.
Laser surgery to correct vision problems has been in use since the early 1990s. Photorefractive Keratotomy (PRK) is typically used to correct low to moderate myopia, while laser in-situ keratomileusis (LASIK) is preferred for high myopia corrections. Although over 18 million LASIK procedures have been performed worldwide, there is still some controversy regarding the maximum correction possible and efficacy with this technique.
The ultra-high data speeds possible on optical fibre networks will only come into their own when the fibres reach the last mile into everyone’s home. But that will require miniaturisation and integration of optical components on a scale not yet seen. European researchers may have some of the answers. Broadband access has transformed the economic potential of the internet.
