Increasingly smaller space and time scales and electromagnetic contamination have become barriers recently in some areas of oceanographic measurement; the need for an index of refraction sensor is emerging, along with the technical capability to produce it. this proposal seeks to develop a technique… More

It is proposed to develop optical temperature and pressure sensors for an oceanographic instrument (an obt) that will measure temperature and depth during the time of fall of theinstrument. the transmission link will also be optical fiber. the principle of the sensors involves the modulationof the… More

In the production of pharmaceuticals, both the work piece and the packaging are too small for conventional bar codes. of particular importance is the use of automatic identification to verify the correct labeling of pharmaceuticals. mislabeling has been a persistent safety problem and production… More

Seaver Engineering proposes to develop a laser scanner that is both highly innovative technically and applicable to a broad and deep commercial market. The innovation lies in its use of stress-induced beam refraction in ordinary optical glasses; the commercial potential lies in its use as a "code… More
