...rototype for a novel sensor concept based on fiber optics and a thin flexible beam transducer mounted on a laminar box experiment at UCSD. The simple beam geometry allows for easy conversion of local displacement at each point into an integrated bending displacement profile for the beam. This approach has t...Rice engineers demo first T-ray endoscope
...eath absorbs T-wave energy very quickly, and fiber optics don't transmit T-waves. By blending some aspects of both these technologies, Mittleman's team devised a system to guide T-waves in and out of a confined space. This could prove useful for sensing applications that range from the mundane -- scanning p...Optics meeting tips: Internal fingerprints, no cell left behind, 3-D reality

... endoscopes have been too large. Advances in fibre optics have produced endoscopes less than 1 mm across - ideal in size but with poor picture quality because they contain very few glass fibres. So the Guys team, working with endoscope designers and manufacturers Acueity Inc. from California, enlisted ideas...
