by Analytics Insight April 30, 2022 As we know, robotic eyes are quite different since they do not possess retinas, so to assist them in interacting with the world more effectively lies with the optical coherence tomography (OCT) devices that are commonly found in the ophthalmologist’s office. One of the most common eye imaging technologies that are included in most sensory packages is light detection and ranging, we also know it as LiDAR.Autonomous car developers are exponentially investing in LiDAR technologies since it acts like radar, but instead of sending broad waves and looking for reflection, it uses short pulses of light from the lasers. But, using traditional forms of LiDAR technologies might be quite challenging since it requires detection of very weak reflected light si...

AUSTIN, Texas, April 30, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- GAST Clearwater has developed a disruptive technology and methodology to replace the Secondary Treatment & Disinfection stages without using chemicals or biological elements of Wastewater & Sewerage treatment facilities. The technology has been dubbed the "Tesla" of Water Treatment, earmarked to disrupt the water treatment industry just as electric vehicles have for the motor industry. Ironically, Tesla did not develop a new battery for its cars but merely improved its battery systems' efficiency and effectiveness, namely lithium iron phosphate (LFP). GAST Clearwater holds a similar story with its technology developing two (2) new systems colloquially referred to as: The Black Box (WMM - Withdrawal of Microorganism & Mi...
