Machine Vision can be found in inspection systems where cameras capture and interpret images of a specific process or activity. A number of emerging applications also take advantage of machine vision technology such as artificial intelligence (facial recognition) and collision detection for the next generation of vehicles, robotics and drones.
Since proteins are extremely sensitive to environmental deviations, a temperature difference by as little as 6°C from the body temperature of 37°C, have a negative impact on cell health. If too cold, cell growth slows and if too hot, sensitive proteins begin to denature. Not only temperature needs to be controlled, also humidity, carbon dioxide and oxygen levels are important factors. Due to the limited space constraints within incubators, thermal solutions must have a compact form factor. Incubator manufacturers also face challenges related to airflow, moisture, dust and ease of cleaning.
The ability to rapidly provide high quality images makes CMOS Sensors useful in machine vision & learning applications as well as object detection & recognition. Examples of these applications are machine vision for robots & drones, optical character recognition, barcode readers, scanners, astronomical and satellite photography and the enhancement of radar images for weather forecasting. CMOS Sensors also enable capturing of high-resolution images in light spectrums that are not visible to the human eye, which is particularly useful in high-end scientific cameras.
The ET08-66-F0-1009-11-W2.25 high temperature Thermoelectric Module (TEM) uses Laird's enhanced TEM construction preventing performance degrading copper diffusion, which is common in standard grade TEMs operating in high temperature environments exceeding 80 °C.
