Digital cameras have moved over the years from being something that only the rich could afford to being a tool of the masses. Prices for the average models can be afforded, and only the top-notch ones remain untouchable for the common people. But experts have been looking for a way to make even cheaper image sensors ... |

CMOS image sensors are commonly used in special cameras, which provide visual assistance for the visually impaired. But their main disadvantage is that they have relatively poor performances, that they provide only monochrome images, and also that they have a very limited sensitivity to light. A team of experts recen... |

Head-mounted displays, more commonly known as data eyeglasses, have remained an exclusive class of gadgets until now, confined to being used by Hollywood secret agents, helicopter and jet fighter pilots, as well as by car designers. At this point, they work by supplying the wearer with additional information about t... |

Measuring small variations in weak magnetic fields can prove rather difficult at times, especially when other stronger magnetic fields are present. Take for example the magnetic sensors used in the automotive industry. They are used to measure a whole range of parameters, including temperature variations, minute air ... |

A team of researchers from the USC Viterbi School of Engineering, including Professor Hossein Hashemi and Graduate student Ta-Shun Chu, has recently been capable to create a small 49 pixel CMOS camera, that works in the ultrawideband radar. Only two years ago, the team presented a similar CMOS chip that was only capa... |

Sony has made today an important step towards the big boys' playground where Canon and recently Nikon are playing the full-frame game. The Konica-Minolta inheritor has today announced the development of its first 35mm full-frame CMOS sensor. An impressive one, we might add. With no less than 24.81 effective mega... |

The CMOS war between Canon and Sony has now entered the DSLR land. Last month, both companies announced their plans to invest in new facilities aimed at manufacturing more CMOS imagers. Back then, the big news was that CMOS units would eventually find their way into compact cameras. A month later, Canon announced the... |

Despite the "gruesome" PR war between Sony and Canon, it appears that Kodak has smithed them both with the announcement of the first point and shoot digital camera that uses a CMOS sensor. If we were to be completely honest, Sony's R1 is the first non-SLR camera with a CMOS sensor, but the model is not quite a p... |

Web-sites in the photographic industry today published a Sony press release dated June 6 in which the company also announced its plans to invest a significant amount of money in the expansion of the Kumamoto Technology Center (Kumamoto TEC) Fab 2 facility that manufactures CMOS sensors. Canon was quoted by news agenc... |

There's a reason why Canon is the leader of the photographic equipment market and that reason is called "CMOS sensors". Admittedly, it's not the only reason why Canon has the largest DSLR market share, but it's their main advantage over other players, especially over Nikon, which buys its sensors from ... |

Since the beginning of digital photography, manufacturers have tried to improve sensors so as to capture more detail at high sensitivities. Kodak claim that they've succeeded in changing the original Bayer design, invented in 1976 by the famous Kodak researcher Dr. Bryce Bayer, resulting in sensitivities two tim... |

The highest resolution available today for the 35mm standard is a performance achieved by Canon in the form of the 1Ds Mark II, which should have a successor in the nearby future. But the 16,7MP sported by the full-frame CMOS sensor are nothing compared to what Canon has cooked up. It might not be yet available for p... |

Extremely high frequency is the highest radio frequency band. EHF runs the range of frequencies from 30 to 300 gigahertz, above which electromagnetic radiation is considered to be low (or far) infrared light, also referred to as Terahertz radiation. This band has a wavelength of ten to one millimeter, giving it the ... |

Last week, I spoke about the manufacturers that will put together the iPhone, hopefully be June, as announced. I was saying then the names that are likely to win the manufacturers competition are Hon Hai for assembling, Samsung for its NAND memory, Marvell for supplying the iPhone's 802.11 wireless connectivity,... |
