It works by scanning a laser beam across an object and manipulating the reflected light to produce an extremely narrow focal plane.
According to the automaker, laser lighting can produce a forward beam with an intensity a thousand times greater than conventional LEDs, but with half the energy consumption.
To create a hologram, such as those typically seen on credit cards, a laser beam is split into two (an object beam and a reference beam).

An optical mouse uses a beam of light and an optical sensor to detect movement over a surface -- there are no moving parts.
Adaptive Cruise Control, Emergency Brake Assist, available Blind Spot Monitoring, available Automatic High Beam Assist and an available Surround Camera System are all on the menu.

As the researchers report in a forthcoming issue of Physical Review Letters, they managed to hold significant numbers of isolated rubidium atoms in place by shining a laser beam on to an array of microscopic lenses.
They would thus stick like limpet mines to clots, before being burst by an ultrasonic beam to wash the clots away.
The main appeal of using an energy beam to shoot things is that it travels at the speed of light, which means, in practice, that it will hit whatever it is aimed at.
In Beam, you have a company that was recently spun off from a larger conglomerate (Fortune Brands) that made no sense, and a management team that is eager to prove what an independent Beam can do.
Unlike previous one-way demonstrations, the LCDD uses an infrared beam -- in the same way that many land-based fiber networks do -- that can be received on Earth by one of three telescopes located in Mexico, California or Spain.
This technology relies upon a light beam that is shot at an angle through a sensing chamber to a receptor.

By bombarding the fossils with an infrared synchrotron beam a noninvasive way of analyzing a material's internal chemistry the scientists said they detected molecular traces of an organic protein inside the mineralized bones.
Pier Oddone, Fermilab's boss, plans to follow it with the Long Baseline Neutrino Experiment (LBNE), which will send a yet-more intense beam of the particles to an underground laboratory in South Dakota.
When the reflected object beam and the reference beam are recombined, they create an interference pattern that encodes the 3-D image.

Gymnasts Aly Raisman and Catalina Ponor did not betray a single emotion as they awaited the results of an appeal of the beam.
You can play HBO Go on your iPhone or iPad, and then beam that to your HDTV via an Apple TV using AirPlay.
His thesis was based on algorithms that describe how a large number of independent devices could beam data to one another, an approach called mesh networking.
Holograms are interference patterns generated by the interaction of a blank reference laser beam with a second beam that has been reflected from an object of interest.
His track record, of course, has been mixed: In 2002, for instance, Gates premiered the Mira, the portable touch screen, which never launched, and SPOT, an ambitious plan to beam weather and stock quotes to wristwatches.
In the case of lidar, the waves are in the form of an infra-red laser beam.
The laser-beam projectors represent far more than simply an academic exercise on the part of the engineers and designers at Mercedes-Benz.

Beam, who says he was not an owner of DeArthur, denies any wrong-doing, classifying his past troubles as mere business failures.
While the patient is still on the operating table, a lead disc is slipped behind the breast tissue to protect the chest cavity, and an eight inch wide electron beam focused directly on the area surrounding the tumour.
Given the risks of aiming such a powerful beam of high-intensity radiation at an Earth ground station, as well as the cost of building billions of dollars in infrastructure to collect the energy in space, the efficiencies you can get from terrestrial solar power seem a safer bet--at least for now.
The beam of X-rays scatter and produce an image from which a 3D structure can be determined.
Designing them to light up an entire room or shine a beam over a long distance is far more technically challenging and requires higher production costs.
But the slow decay in radiation intensity from a tabletop pulsar would make possible extremely long-range transmitters, giving far-off space probes an energy-efficient way to beam information back to earth.
The liquid acts as an additional lens, narrowing the beam of light just as a telescope turns what looks to the naked eye like a smudge on the horizon into a crisp image.
As a demolition supervisor at ground zero, Feal was severely injured when an 8, 000-pound steel beam crushed his foot.
