The recent development in the utilization of flexible optical fiber sensors and the prospective application scenarios were then summarized, which encompass human activity monitoring and healthcare, ...

A heterodyne interferometry system with a fiber-optic sensor was developed to measure the temperature history of unburned gas in an engine cylinder. A polarization-preserving fiber and metal mirror ...

A new fiber-optic sensor made from stretchy rubber rather than glass can be integrated into wearable electronics and measure movement. The sensors can also quantify the force of stretching, bending, ...

Researchers have developed new sensors for measuring acceleration and vibration on trains. The technology could be integrated with artificial intelligence to prevent railway accidents and catastrophic ...

ABB has launched its latest generation Fiber Optic Current Sensor (FOCS-FS) to complement its portfolio of optical sensors. The FOCS-FS gets its name from its ‘free standing’ design. A salient feature ...

The prospect of exploiting spider silk's combination of optical and mechanical properties has been an attractive proposition to designers for some time. Back in 2008 a project at Tufts University ...

In the pursuit of more efficient and low-cost designs, a growing number of batteries are turning to embedded fiber-optic sensors and machine learning to optimize battery charge. The Palo Alto Research ...
