A ground-based laser tracking system that could help to stem the accumulation of space debris is being developed in the UK. Devised by start-up company Lumi Space with the support of ESA and the UK ...

A team of ESA scientists has developed a way to use lasers to accurately track space debris even in broad daylight. Using a combination of special telescopes, detectors, and light filters tuned to ...

A complementary measuring tool, laser tracker services, has been added to the menu of services offered by GKS Inspection Services (Detroit, MI). Laser trackers perform discrete 3D measurements with a ...

A simple, automated method of tracking E. coli uses a laser to detect and monitor the microbe in potentially contaminated bodies of water or waterways. The technique could reduce the incidence of ...

The program allows manufacturers to gain access to API’s benchmark RADIAN laser tracker to perform specific measurements, alignments and calibration tasks or overcome periods of bottleneck for its own ...

Perhaps optical tracking, LiDAR and laser targeting systems have evolved considerably since then. The team promoting the Photon Matrix product claims it incorporates "mandatory safety certification ...

The Renault FI Team relies on Leica lasertracking systems when designing its racecars, such as the one driven by Giancarlo Fisichella. Like all Formula 1 racing teams, the Renault F1 Team develops ...

Instructables user [PenfoldPlant] is a big fan of indoor rock climbing, and while watching others make difficult climbs, he has often wondered if he could follow the same route up the wall.

[ashish] is still having fun with his lasers. His latest hack is a dual laser based tracking camera. He mounted his camera to a simple parallel port controlled stepper motor. Essentially, if the ...
