Radiant Vision Systems Honored by Global SMT & Packaging Magazine’s GLOBAL Technology Awards 2019

For manufacturers of electronics with NIR-based sensing features, the speed and efficiency provided by the NIR Intensity Lens solution enables light source metrology that meets electronics production demands.


REDMOND, Wash. (PRWEB)

Radiant Vision Systems, a leading provider of automated visual test and inspection solutions for light sources and display devices, announces that it has been awarded a GLOBAL Technology Award for its NIR (Near-Infrared) Intensity Lens in the category of “Metrology.” The GLOBAL Technology Awards have been bringing together the global SMT and advanced packaging industry in a celebration of the companies and people that are achieving the highest standards and driving industry forward. The awards are designed to promote best practice in key areas including manufacturing quality, customer service, sales growth, innovation, and employee motivation. The awards are held annually by Global SMT & Packaging magazine at events rotating between productronica, Germany, and SMTAi, USA.

Radiant Vision Systems engineers high-resolution imaging systems that precisely evaluate the spatial distribution of light and color, including photometric systems for visible wavelengths of light and radiometric systems for evaluation of near-infrared light. Released on January 7, 2019, Radiant’s Near-Infrared (NIR) Intensity Lens is designed to measure the radiant intensity of angular light distributions and patterns produce by NIR LED and laser sources (VCSELs) used in non-visible 3D sensing applications, such as facial recognition. Radiant’s NIR Intensity Lens is mounted directly to a Radiant ProMetric® Y16 (16-megapixel) Imaging Radiometer and employs Fourier optics to enable single-image analysis of the full angular distribution of a NIR light source to ±70 degrees.

The GLOBAL Technology Award for the Radiant NIR Intensity Lens was presented at the 15th annual awards ceremony on November 12, 2019, at productronica taking place at the Messe München in Munich, Germany.

“We are honored to accept the GLOBAL Technology Award for the NIR Intensity Lens,” said Radiant Executive Vice President and Chief Solutions Officer, Doug Kreysar. “The integration of near-infrared light sources into consumer electronics and other devices is enabling new touch-free device security and operation, controlled by facial recognition and gestures. The accuracy of these light sources is increasingly important for device performance. Because NIR wavelengths of light are invisible to the human eye, automated inspection equipment must be used to measure these light sources for desired output. Traditionally, goniometric systems have been required for measuring light in angular space to ensure accurate emission intensity and scope. However, these systems can take hours to complete an analysis of a single light source, and are therefore not viable metrology solutions for volume production applications like those in the consumer electronics industry. Radiant’s NIR Intensity Lens significantly reduces the time and complexity to measure radiant intensity and angular distribution of NIR light sources. The system captures the three-dimensional distribution of an NIR light source in a two-dimensional image for complete analysis in less than a second, enabling production-level analysis. For manufacturers of electronics with NIR-based sensing features, the speed and efficiency provided by the NIR Intensity Lens solution enables light source metrology that meets electronics production demands.”

ASHA Becomes Part Of New Global Forum Focused On Hearing Loss

Leave a comment



ROCKVILLE, Md. (PRWEB)

The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) has been accepted as a member of the new World Hearing Forum, a global network of stakeholders established by the World Health Organization (WHO) to promote ear and hearing care worldwide.

A major Forum task will be facilitating the implementation of World Health Assembly resolution WHA70.13 on “Prevention of deafness and hearing loss” http://apps.who.int/gb/ebwha/pdf_files/WHA70/A70_R13-en.pdf?ua=1 and supporting member states in that regard.

“We thank WHO for accepting ASHA as a Forum member and as such, we look forward to being active and collaborative,” ASHA President Shari Robertson, PhD, said. “Ample challenges to hearing health exist worldwide that warrant attention and action. It is exciting and encouraging to think they stand to be met by Forum members’ collective commitment and expertise.”

According to WHO, approximately 466 million people globally live with disabling hearing loss, 34 million of whom are children. The health agency also says 1.1 billion young people are at risk of hearing loss due to exposure to noise in recreational settings and the use of personal audio devices—a number that is expected to grow considerably “unless action is taken to prevent and treat hearing loss” in WHO’s estimation.

Before becoming a Forum member, ASHA advised WHO on its Make Listening Safe campaign which, in concert with the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), a United Nations agency that facilitates international connectivity in communications networks, unveiled recently the first ever global standard for safe listening to personal audio devices:

https://www.asha.org/public/hearing/Noise-and-Hearing-Loss-Prevention/

Known as the WHO-ITU Global Standard for safe listening devices and systems, it recommends 80 decibels as the maximum safe level for adults using a personal audio device for 40 hours weekly, and 75 decibels as the safe maximum for children for the same amount of usage time. The standard stems from several years of research, input, and discussion by a cross-section of stakeholders from around the world.

Since the 1970s, hearing experts in the United States have cited 85 decibels as the maximum safe listening level, a limit that originated from what was considered safe for workers in occupational settings.

“ASHA recommends adhering to the new WHO-ITU safe listening standard when it comes to personal audio device use,” ASHA President Robertson said. “Among other things, it was developed with the use of such a device in mind instead of the experience of exposure to noise in an occupational setting.”

The World Hearing Forum opening Membership Assembly will be held December 4-5, 2019 in Geneva, Switzerland.

About the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA)

ASHA is the national professional, scientific, and credentialing association for 204,000 members and affiliates who are audiologists; speech-language pathologists; speech, language, and hearing scientists; audiology and speech-language pathology support personnel; and students. Audiologists specialize in preventing and assessing hearing and balance disorders as well as providing audiologic treatment, including hearing aids. Speech-language pathologists identify, assess, and treat speech and language problems, including swallowing disorders. http://www.asha.org

The legalized marijuana industry is expected to reach $13.6 billion in profits by the end of 2019. According to Governing.com, 33 states and the District of Columbia have legalized the sale of cannabis, though the laws governing its sale and use vary.

Working within local and state restrictions to succeed is something Wise marijuana business planning experts can help with, said Ferriolo.

“We make it our business to research and understand the markets our clients are based in,” he said. “We can help you understand how best to serve the needs of the customers in the area you’re hoping to benefit.”

All Wise business plans are custom-tailored to each company’s unique business requirements and written by professional business plan writers who consult with the client one-on-one. Every plan includes an option for a free revision and is designed by a professional graphic artist.

Legalizing marijuana doesn’t mean everyone who could benefit from it has access, said Ferriolo. That’s why Wise is working diligently to support dispensary owners and potential owners.

“Our marijuana business plans can help you navigate through the creation or growth of a dispensary that can serve your community for years to come.”

Wise Business Plans (http://www.wisebusinessplans.com), staffed with professional MBA writers, researchers and financial experts, is a trusted partner for businesses across a broad spectrum of products and services.
