The amount of warning time a tsunami warning system can provide depends on the distance between your location and the location of the undersea event. A tsunami can travel 500 to 600 mph in deep water, slowing as it approaches shore. If the undersea...

ShapeTapesTM are long Tapes of fiber-optic bend / twist sensors that give the Tape the ability to measure 3D position and orientation. ShapeTapesTM are the primary hardware for the ShapeWrap IITM Motion Capture System. Measurand Inc. in New Brunswick,...

Toronto, Canada - GAO Instruments (www.GAOInstruments.com) has rolled out its single fiber fusion splicer (GAO720B), which is designed to splice dispersion shifted, non-zero dispersion shifted, and erbium doped fibers. Fusion splicing is preferred over...

Why settle for slow speed, high electricity costs and a technology invented a hundreds years ago if you can have the latest in data transmission at less the cost and many times the speed?With the use of glass or plastic threads to transmit data the fiber...

Bottle Labeling Machines are apt for labeling bottles of various different shapes, sizes and material such as glass and plastic. Bottle Labeling Machine dispenses labels for all types of bottled products which are cylindrical in shape like bottles, cans,...

Given that research drives innovation products, it is imperative we introduce innovation in the research and development process. This article examines the various stages of research and development within a company and proposes a novel of cross industry...

Toronto, Canada – GAO Tek Inc. (www.GAOTek.com)GAO Tek’s Active RFID tag with temperature sensor (GAO127003) is specifically designed to collect and transmit temperature data in real time in addition to identification and location of items. It is...

Optical interconnect systemsAs data rates inside digital electronic systems are increasing, the bandwidth of traditional copper interconnects is increasingly limited by signal distortion, power consumption, cross-talk and pin-out capacity. Optical...

Toronto, Canada - GAO Fiber Optics Inc. (www.GAOFiberOptics.com) presents its adjustable digital light attenuator (GAO-9A). This fiber optics instrument is widely used for optical cable construction and maintenance, fiber optic communication, fiber optic...

"The electronics and telecom sectors merit special attention.  On 217 Information Technology Agreement (ITA) bound items, the duty is required to be brought down to nil.  Consequently, to provide a level-playing field to the domestic...

Providing fiber optic services to defense clients is not like working with a commercial customer. Military standards sometimes differ substantially from commercial guidelines and improper training will lead to improper installation which can mean lost...

Fiber optic fusion and mechanical splices are placed in mechanical closures that are referred to as "splice enclosures", "splicing trays" or "splicing organizers". Fiber optic splice trays are designed to provide a location to store and to protect the...

What are fiber optic sensors? The fundamental characteristic of all fiber optic sensors is that they depend on some optical properties, such as intensity, phase, state of polarization and wavelength, to be modulated by measurands. Measurands could be...

Fiber optic sensors are not normally affected by induction energy fields, but if the noise is excessively high, use a synchronous demodulation system. The demodulator converts the 400 Hz ac signal from the detector head to dc, which is more immune to...
