Assessing spinal curvature is one of the key aspects of diagnosing back pain and related disabilities, and deformation of the vertebral column (VC) can cause anything from minor pain to immobility.

Distributed fiber-optic sensors are widely used to monitor temperature and strain in infrastructure, but their spatial resolution has long been limited. In a new study, researchers from Shibaura ...

Radio frequency (RF) refers to the part of the electromagnetic spectrum where electromagnetic waves can be generated by alternating current fed to an antenna. It spans from around 3 kHz to 300 GHz. RF ...

Sensing part presence in machines, in fixtures, and on conveyors is an important component of industrial automation. Error-proofing assembly and controlling sequence based on presence or absence of a ...

In the past, the progress of cure for thermosetting polymers has been estimated from the measurement of a single, easily monitored parameter, such as resin temperature. As discussed in Chapter 3, such ...

The demand for greater data throughput seems endless, and it is accelerating faster than many people expected, creating bottlenecks in fiber-optics networks. Digital transmissions of 100 Gbps, which ...
