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.
When the app is opened for the first time, a sensor that tells the researchers what time of day it is is unlocked.
This winter Medtronic hired technology-transfer guru William McKeon as a full-time scout to scour sensor concepts worth investing in.
We're looking at a revamped but still tiny CX sensor, this time with the resolution bumped up to 14 megapixels (instead of 10) -- a move that likely won't do much for the camera's overall image quality or low light performance relative to APS-C or Micro Four Thirds shooters.

The sensor is put into place at the same time as the endograft and is read by sweeping an electronic wand over the abdomen.
The little creature's also got four additional touch sensors, a temperature sensor, a gravity sensor and an internal clock to tell the time of day, improved motors, and basic voice recognition -- and the Hong Kong packaging suggests the dinos will even come in two different sexes.

Then again, when we wanted the sensor to kick in, it would do so only about 60 percent of the time, and again you'll see the effects of slow page refresh times of E Ink.
The watch contains a 25, 000-pixel complementary metal oxide semiconductor sensor and 1 megabyte of memory, which can store up to 80 images at a time.
Over time, though, through escalating successes such as the Glif iPhone tripod accessory, the Twine connected sensor and the Elevation Dock all preceding the Pebble tsunami, Kickstarter started to become better known for physical products and the pre-orders that came as perks for backing them.
