Different from Wacom's capacitive Bamboo Styluses available for iPad, iPhone and other touchscreens, the Bamboo Stylus feel delivers a powerful combination of "active" pen and sensor technology for a digital pen experience that emulates the feel of a traditional ball-point pen or pencil.
It would not start with the proposed test of the MIRACL laser against the third Miniature Sensor Technology Integration (MSTI-3) satellite. (For that matter, these assets were used in an inconclusive low-power laser test last April.) And it assuredly would not stop if the Clinton Administration chooses not to conduct the high-power experiment now being proposed by the Army.
This upgraded, high-resolution, compact digital camera with a fixed lens is named in honor of Richard "Dick" Merrill, the co-creator of the Foveon X3 Direct Image Sensor technology that powers Sigma's unique lineup of cameras.

If a surgeon used a scalpel enhanced with Smart-Tool technology, the real-time sensor on the blade could sense what kind of tissue it is touching and rely the information back to the doctor.
The cost of sensor technology, a common component of medical devices, has also fallen "exponentially" in recent years, according to Vivek Wadhwa, director of research at Duke University's Center for Entrepreneurship and Research Commercialization.
The combination of the speedy response of the touchscreen panel and the FAST (Frequency Acceleration Sensor Technology) AF system, the same technology that made the Olympus OM-D the world's fastest autofocusing camera, gives users the power to capture precisely the image they want at precisely the moment they want it.
Melanie Martella, executive editor of Sensors magazine, introduced us to the concept of sensor fusion, a fast-emerging technology that takes data from disparate sources to come up with more accurate, complete and dependable data than was previously possible.
The imaging technology of the DV150F, a 16.2 Megapixel CCD sensor, F2.5 25mm bright lens and 5x optical zoom, deliver outstanding quality pictures that can then be shared instantly via Wi-Fi.

It is a leading brand in emerging markets, seen as a status symbol in a few countries, and as we have gotten a taste of in the press, the brand does have a few tricks up its sleeve: innovations in keyboard technology, motion sensor technology, as well as in cloud computing that will meet the growing needs of enterprise customers.
An alternative view is that California tech companies are stuck in the device paradigm and seriously need to look at new ways of using sensor technology.
FORBES: Google To Compete With Apple and Samsung On Smart Watch
Like other proofs-of-concept with Fujitsu's PalmSecure technology, you don't actually have to lay your hand on the sensor to make it work -- hovering above it will work just fine.
