Abstract: Optical Distance Measurement (ODM) systems have a wide range of applications in many sectors, including industrial, aerospace, and telecommunication. It is essential in systems where ...

Technological trends are often short-lived and have no lasting effect. New programming languages show up every year, promising faster builds and simpler syntax. Although many competitors have entered ...

Abstract: We investigate methods for determining if a planar surface contains geometric deviations (e.g., protrusions, objects, divots, or cliffs) using only an instantaneous measurement from a ...

Four key concepts are essential for understanding Clojure’s functional programming paradigm. Here’s how to apply what you know about Java to learning Clojure. Clojure is one of the most fascinating ...

TIOBE Programming Index News – November 2025: C# Closes In on Java Your email has been sent The November 2025 TIOBE Index brings another twist below Python’s familiar lead. C solidifies its position ...

Presence/motion sensors are one of the best ways to make automations feel more natural, but most of them run on batteries and eventually have to be swapped. That’s one of the main reasons I really ...

Creating simple data classes in Java traditionally required substantial boilerplate code. Consider how we would represent Java’s mascots, Duke and Juggy: public class JavaMascot { private final String ...

The distance sensor can be put into operation easily and conveniently using plug and play. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., July 9, 2025 - SICK announces the launch of the OD200, a miniature measuring distance ...

Chipmaker onsemi has introduced a family of real-time indirect time-of-flight (iToF) sensors for long distance measurements and 3D imaging of fast-moving objects. Called the Hyperlux ID series, the ...

There are a whole bunch of different ways to create 3D scans of objects these days. Researchers at the [UW Graphics Lab] have demonstrated how to use a small, cheap time-of-flight sensor to generate ...
