Signify’s UV-C light sources tackle COVID-19 causes
Signify and the National Emerging Infectious Diseases Laboratories (NEIDL) at Boston University have conducted research that validates the effectiveness of Signify’s UV-C light sources on the inactivation of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.
Controlling plant growth with horticulture LEDs
The new Lighting Development Kit from Würth Elektronik with horticulture LEDs accelerates the development of systems for targeted plant lighting. Companies developing solutions for vertical farming in cities or optimised ‘supplemental lighting’ in greenhouses can use the Development Kit to explore the effect of different ‘lighting recipes’ on plants and in their different growth phases.
Rugged display module integrates touchscreen
Industrial LCD manufacturer KOE (Kaohsiung Opto-Electronics) has released a new 10.2-inch Full HD TFT display module.
Industrial smart camera powered by deep learning
Cognex has introduced an industrial smart camera powered by Deep Learning software. This combination expands the possibilities of what can be successfully and precisely inspected in factory automation.
Evaluating a CMOS-based SWIR camera
Israeli startup TriEye, a Tel-Aviv based company whose Short-Wave Infrared (SWIR) sensing technology enhances visibility in adverse weather and night time conditions, has officially revealed Sparrow - a CMOS-based SWIR camera.
MaxLite's CCT selectable outdoor lighting fixtures
MaxLite is making it easier for distributors and contractors to meet customers’ outdoor lighting needs with new wall pack for outdoor lighting fixtures and security luminaires that feature field-selectable colour temperatures (CCTs) that go from warm to cool with the flick of a switch.
Aquaculture fish light helps to optimise growth results
Signify has announced its latest innovation in aquaculture LED lighting. The company launched the new Philips Seacage 340W fish light which helps to optimise growth results for land- and marine-based cultivation of salmon and also shows proven results for other fast-growing fish species like seabass and seabream. The light distribution helps to prevent exposure to sea lice, reducing treatment up to 50%.

LASER COMPONENTS has announced the FSP200 Optical Fusion Splicer with core alignment technology and the FCL200 Optical Fibre Cleaver with auto-end cut collection, made by our manufacturing partner Tempo Communications and now available for our customers.
Software to improve temperature screening for COVID-19
FLIR Systems has announced the FLIR Screen-EST software for FLIR T-Series, Exx-Series, and A-Series thermal imaging cameras. The software provides automatic measurement tools that perform elevated skin temperature screenings of individuals in two seconds or less at entries, checkpoints, and other high traffic areas while maintaining recommended social distancing guidelines.
Optical filter for quantitative polymerase chain reaction
Optical filters play a crucial role in detecting the corona pathogen SARS CoV 2. With the expanded Ultra series, LASER COMPONENTS now offers optical filters that were specifically developed for real-time qPCR tests for the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Patient samples can thus be analyzed faster and more efficiently.
