LLT 2700 Compact Laser Line Camera
Micro-Epsilon
The scanCONTROL 2700 laser line camera uses the triangulation principle for an acquisition of a two dimensional height profile of most target surfaces.
The LLT2700 allows the acquisition of line profile data, 3D image, as well as the intensity image in real time. Unique, absolute, calibrated profile data (x, z) guarantees true and accurate measurement for many applications where conventional vision cameras fail.
Accurate Thickness Measurements Made Easier!
Olympus — NDT
Measure thickness accurately even when you can't access one of the sides! Applications include plastic bottles, metal containers and pipes, glass sheets and bulbs, rubber tires, machined parts, fiberglass, and other materials. No reason to cut or damage the part. You can use our handheld Model 35 ultrasonic thickness gauges for measurements by putting a probe to just one side. Measurements are instant, accurate, and reliable.
Or using the Magna-Mike, simply drop a small target ball inside a plastic container and hold a magnetic probe on the outside. Easy, reliable, with data storage.

Implementing A Realtime Clock
"Real-time clocks are used in many embedded applications to record the time at which an event occured, a pressure sensor was activated, or an ADC reading was taken, for example. Currently there are off-the-shelf components that contain a small crystal time base coupled with simple logic that have standardized interfaces for connecting to the I2C, SPI, or parallel port of a microcontroller. This application note describes how to implement the function of a real-time clock inexpensively by using a C8051Fxxx device, a small 32 kHz watch crystal, and a few passive components."
