Precision Sensors, Actuators and Systems

Research into and development of high-precision systems, microelectromechanical systems, distributed sensors/actuators, smart structural systems, high-precision controls, etc. have drawn much attention in recent years. These new devices and systems will bring about a new technical revolution in modern industries and impact future human life. This book presents a unique overview of these technologies such as silicon based sensors/actuators and control piezoelectric micro sensors/actuators, micro actuation and control, micro sensor applications in robot control, optical fiber sensors/systems, etc. These are four essential subjects emphasized in the book: 1. Survey of the (current) research and development; 2. Fundamental theories and tools; 3. Practical applications. 4. Outlining future research and development.

An Introduction to Interpretation of Graphic Images

  • Categories: Art
  • Type: Book
  • -
  • Published: 1997
  • -
  • Publisher: SPIE Press

The image analysis community has put much effort into developing systems for the automatic reading of various types of documents containing text, graphic information, and pictures. A closely related but much more problematic task is the reading and interpretation of line drawings such as maps, engineering drawings, and diagrams. This book considers the problem in detail, analyzes its theoretical foundations, and analyzes existing approaches and systems.

  • Published: 2000
  • -
  • Publisher: SPIE Press

This Tutorial Text is an outgrowth of the author's short course of the same title. It is intended as an introduction to readers unfamiliar with infrared zoom lenses, and as an aid to the practising engineer pursuing a related application. The first three chapters introduce the principles of optics and the unique aspects of the infrared region of the wavelength spectrum, with related optical design techniques addressed in Chapter 4. Chapters 5 through 8 present material unique to the subject of zoom lenses in the infrared. The appendix contains three landmark infrared zoom lens patents in their entirety, providing lens prescription data and a starting point for future design activity, in addition to the author's computer analysis of the three patents.
