An Airborne Gimballed Imaging System

Sun X., NextGen Imaging Technologies (NGIT), Inc., US

An airborne gimballed imaging system comprises an agile, accurate, efficient, and versatile gimbal machine. It drives a long range imaging sensor payload over wide roll, pitch, and yaw angular ranges. Together with an embedded instrument [...]

A new EKF SLAM algorithm of lidar-based AGV fused with bearing information

Ye C. Zhou H.X., Stevens Institue of Techonlogy, US

Lidar-based Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) is widely used in various kinds of transportation tasks as a kind of intelligent logistics equipment. To realize the navigation, lidar-based AGV has to know its location and pose when [...]

Dye Coded Nanoparticle as SERRS Labels for Ultrasensitive Detection of Proteins and Antibodies

Stevenson R., Stokes R.J., Ingram A., Faulds K., Graham D., The University of Strathclyde, UK

We have developed a novel surface enhanced resonance Raman scattering (SERRS) detection method that is amenable for almost any biological target. By utilising the information rich spectrum obtained from SERRS we show that we can [...]
