Surface flows from images: ten days of observations from the Tiber River gauge-cam station
Fully remote surface flow measurements are crucial for flow monitoring during floods and in difficult-to-access areas. Recently, optics-based surface flow monitoring has been enabled through a permanent gauge-cam station on the Tiber River, Rome, Italy. Therein, a system of lasers and an internet protocol camera equipped with two optical modules afford video acquisitions of the river surface ...

Inside the Particulate Monitor – Optical Methods
At least two different optical techniques can be applied to measure the concentration of particulates – light absorption and light scattering. Light absorption is frequently used in high-concentration industrial processes, but it has some applications also in ambient air, for example to determine visibility at airports. Light scattering is utilized both in industrial and ambient ...

Innovation in the "Baby Bell" companies: a comparative longitudinal analysis
The worldwide trend of deregulating monopolistic service industries, and in particular established telecommunication companies, raises a major issue: how do the former protected and implementation-minded companies compete with the new entrepreneurial entrants? How are these companies building their innovation capabilities? This paper addresses the question: how is innovation associated with ...

Proper Roll Alignment is Vital for Industrial Businesses
Proper roll alignment is important. Things like paper machines, coaters and winders have hundreds of rollers. There are generally two types of roller misalignments: in-plane and out-of-plane. These can be measured. If rollers are parallel, they’re in-plane. If and when one end of a roller should happen to skew downstream, for example, then the roller is “in-plane misaligned,” ...

Affinity–based biosensors for heavy metal detection
In recent years, there has been a pressing need for fast and reliable methods for environmental monitoring. Among the various pollutants, the heavy metals are some of the most harmful because these substances are non–biodegradable and retained by the ecological system. Conventional analytical techniques for heavy metals imply high cost, trained personnel and the repute that they are mostly ...

What is MEMS technology?
As our name indicates, at Solar MEMS we are using MEMS technology in a lot of our products, and in this article, we tell you what this advanced system for producing devices actually means. The letters of the term MEMS stand for micro-electro-mechanical systems, which are complex, small-scale systems that combine electronic and mechanical elements on the same chip. There are a lot of projects, ...

Particle Optics in the Rayleigh Regime
Light scattering and absorption by particles suspended in the atmosphere modifies the transfer of solar energy in the atmosphere, thereby influencing global and regional climate change and atmospheric visibility. Of particular interest are the optical properties of particles in the Rayleigh regime, where particles are small compared with the wavelength of the scattered or absorbed light, because ...

Electrophoretic deposition of titanium dioxide films on copper in aqueous media
Electrophoretic deposition was used to produce titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanostructured films on copper substrate in aqueous media for photocatalytic application. Polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) with a weight rate from 0 to 15% was added to TiO2 P25 suspension in order to enhance film adhesion. The films were characterized by X-ray diffraction, optical microscopy, contact angle measurement, ...
