The DS30 available from Sick is more than just an expansion of one of the wide portfolios of industrial distance sensors on the market with its hitherto unique combination of small housing size and precision the DS30 represents a new era of time-of-flight of light measurement.

Many scientific and low light-level applications face challenges from thermal noise in the CCD sensor. Controlling this noise allows cameras to operate with long exposure times and provide greater pixel-by pixel accuracy. Because thermal noise decreased by 3 dB for every 6C drop in temperature, the best way to control thermal noise is to cool the image sensor as much as possible.

DMi offers a comprehensive portfolio of products from DENON, DENON professional, Marantz and Marantz professional ranges, alongside Escient digital music servers, Opus multi-room systems, and Boston Acoustics' wall, ceiling and outdoor speakers.

Offering a highly cost-effective entry into digital image processing, these new models are very easy to use in applications where interlaced analogue cameras and framegrabbers have traditionally been used. Integrated Smart Functions take over essential functions of the frame-grabber.

The two-component light screen enables simple commissioning. The signal processor is entirely integrated in the receiver housing and can be configured via six DIP switches. A 3-digit display and a LED bargraph indicate the status and the orientation of the emitter and the receiver. If required, the configuration can also be implemented with the delivered software.

The Cloud and Land Surface Interaction Campaign and a coordinated experiment known as the Cumulus Humilis Aerosol Processing Study involve a combination of aircraft and ground-based measurements to enable researchers to capture the full breadth of fluctuations in carbon dioxide, moisture, aerosol particles, cloud properties and radiative energy from within the Earth's surface to the top of the atmospheric boundary layer.
