Cooper Industries, Ltd. announced that it has acquired io Lighting, a dedicated light-emitting diode (“LED”) lighting fixture company, and Powerline Communications, Inc., a manufacturer of digital lighting control panels. Expected sales for the two companies in 2007 are approximately $17 million and the combined purchase price is $22 million.
The Boeing Company, industry teammates and the U.S. Missile Defense Agency successfully demonstrated in flight tests that the Airborne Laser's battle management and beam control/fire control systems can complete the full series of steps required to support a ballistic missile intercept.
Micropelt
GmbH, manufacturer of thin film thermoelectric devices,
announces a significant technology advancement in its ultra-small,
microchip thermoelectric coolers (TECs). The new MPC-D303 Series, one
of Micropelt’s smallest TECs with a cold side area of only
0.98 square millimeters (mm2), supports a
maximum temperature difference (delta T) of over 60 Kelvin (K). This
increased delta T opens possibilities for laser and photonic sensor
manufacturers whose applications require a large bandwidth of thermal
control.
Technologies Inc. today announced its Complex Monolithic Optics (CMO) Development Program for OEM customers. The program offers customers the opportunity to incorporate the latest high-precision optics design technology into their optical system designs. CMOs are stand-alone optical assemblies that are created when multiple discrete optics are bonded together into a single, pre-aligned optical structure.
Electro Scientific Industries, Inc., a leading provider of world-class photonic micro-engineering solutions, today announced that Dr. Ming Wu has joined the Company’s Scientific Advisory Board (SAB). Dr. Wu is a professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences at the University of California, Berkeley, and is also Co-Director of Berkeley Sensors and Actuators Center (BSAC).
Airline pilots will have more advance warning of potentially hazardous atmospheric conditions – such as icing – using a new near-infrared Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) system developed by scientists at RL Associates in Chester, Pa. The system, now in a prototype testing phase, will also provide better images in foggy, rainy or extremely hazy conditions, making it easier for pilots to take off and land in those conditions, thereby potentially reducing flight delays.
Researchers in The Netherlands are developing a radar system that might one day see through solid earth and could be used to clear conflict zones of landmines, safely and at low cost. Writing in Inderscience's Journal of Design Research, the team explains how the new technology, with further industrial development, could eventually make vast tracts of land around the globe safe once more.
NASA, in coordination with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES-R) Program, has awarded a contract to the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics at the University of Colorado, Boulder.
GE Inspection Technologies has signed a definitive agreement to acquire phoenix|x-ray, a leader in high-resolution computed tomography (CT) / X-ray technology used in non-destructive testing (NDT) applications. The transaction will be completed upon receipt of regulatory approvals. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Opsens Inc. has announced today that the United States Patent and Trademark Office
(USPTO) has granted Opsens, patent no. 7,259,862 entitled Low-coherence
interferometry optical sensor using a single wedge polarization readout
interferometer.
