Conventional sensors convert physical phenomena (such as temperature, load, pressure, and strain) into electricity, which is then conditioned, sampled, and scaled to the required physical values.

The Ikhana unmanned aircraft system has been used by NASA last year to fight wildfires from the sky and this month to provide images of current Californian wildfires to authorities (link to NASA ...

• Strain-sensing fiber optic cables installed parallel and close to the pipeline 11 allow for indirect determination of pipeline stress and leak risk. A simpler cable-installation method allows this ...

Pipeline contents are typically valuable, volatile, and harmful to the environment if allowed to escape. With them being susceptible to aging, accidental damage, or tampering, the chances of an escape ...

A project at Caltech has developed a fiber optic-based method to measure soil moisture in the shallow subterranean region between the surface and underground aquifers. Reported in Nature ...
