NIST Optomechanical Transducer links sound, light, radio waves.
March 30, 2016 | Comments Off on NIST Optomechanical Transducer links sound, light, radio waves.
Published in Nature Photonics, researchers at NIST developed “piezo-optomechanical circuit” that converts signals among optical, acoustic, and radio waves. According to one of said paper’s co-authors, Kartik Srinivasan, this device might enable detailed studies of interactions and foster development of phononic circuitry that can be modified with photons. “This work,” said Srinivasan, “presents one platform for transducing information between different carriers.”

Intelligent Locker System facilitates parcel delivery.
March 30, 2016 | Comments Off on Intelligent Locker System facilitates parcel delivery.
Used for parcel delivery/pickup in eCommerce, retail, and campus environments, PackRobot measures each parcel’s dimensions and uses 3D lift system that dynamically configures locker slot to optimally secure parcel; no space is wasted. Holding up to 500 variable-sized parcels in <5m² footprint, environmentally hardened design with internal climate control allows indoor/outdoor use. Every parcel is photographed and automatically weighed and measured to ensure appropriate routing.
