In the field of modern industrial automation, speed measurement is an essential part of control systems. Industrial speed sensors act like the “eyes” of equipment operation, providing precise and real-time speed monitoring solutions for various machinery. From conveyor belts to robots, and from printing equipment to metallurgical production lines, speed sensors have quietly become the … Read more
Non-Hermitian systems can be used as an effective description of the short-term behavior of open quantum systems, and they are widely used to describe dissipative or non-reciprocal optical and acoustic systems. In recent years, non-Hermitian systems have received widespread attention from theoretical and experimental scientists, and have been realized in various experimental platforms such as … Read more
[For camera information, check Camera Notes] In yesterday’s article, we didn’t mention “sensor size”, and I didn’t expect that there would be so many misconceptions… How Big is 1 Inch Actually? Due to some historical issues*, whether in cameras or smartphones, the “1 inch” in the diagonal length of the sensor is not 25.4mm. * … Read more
Produced by Big Data Digest Author: Peter Diamandis In 2014, at an infectious disease laboratory in Finland, health researcher Petteri Lahtela discovered something strange; he suddenly realized that many of the conditions he was studying overlapped. For example, while examining diseases that doctors believed were unrelated, such as Lyme disease, heart disease, and diabetes, he … Read more
