CyberOptics Reports Stronger Than Forecasted Third Quarter Operating Results
October 24, 2007 at 16:00 PM EDT
CyberOptics Corporation (Nasdaq:CYBE) today reported operating results for the third quarter of 2007 ended September 30:
Kathleen P. Iverson, president and chief executive officer, commented: “Our above-plan operating results in the third quarter were paced by much stronger than anticipated sales of electronic assembly sensors and continued robust demand for inspection systems. Sales of electronic assembly sensors to our primary OEM customers were at their strongest level within the past two years, reflecting an upturn in the global electronic assembly market that we believe started strengthening during this year’s second quarter. Our third quarter sales also benefited from the shipment of the remaining half of 37 SE 300 solder paste inspection systems from an earlier order. In addition, significant orders for both solder paste and automated optical inspection (AOI) systems were received from original design manufacturers (ODMs) and electronics manufacturing services companies. We also completed our first Flex Ultra AOI sales to key ODM and memory module customers, who previously had only used our SE 300 solder paste inspection systems. We ended the third quarter with a solid backlog of inspections systems and believe that fourth quarter revenue from inspection systems should increase from the third quarter level.”
Iverson continued: “Order bookings of both electronic assembly sensors and inspection systems totaled $15.7 million in the third quarter, and we ended this period with a backlog totaling $8.1 million. The majority of this backlog is scheduled to ship in the fourth quarter. Sales of electronic assembly sensors are forecasted to remain robust, although we expect the fourth quarter sensor order rate to moderate somewhat from the exceptionally strong third quarter level. As a result, we are forecasting sales of $13.5 to $14.5 million and earnings of $0.12 to $0.14 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2007 ending December 31. Our fourth quarter guidance incorporates the continuation of higher R&D investment related to the development of next-generation solder paste and AOI systems.”
Steven K. Case, Ph.D., chairman and founder, added: “We believe that the upturn in the global electronics assembly market should continue into 2008. To fully capitalize upon positive market conditions, we will continue the accelerated R&D program that we implemented in the third quarter, which is aimed at keeping our systems offerings on the leading edge of inspection technology. We see substantial opportunities for inspection solutions based on faster production through-put speeds, programming ease of use, and improved imaging resolutions. We believe the next-generation systems now under development will also serve us well in future market environments, since demand for inspection systems is not driven solely by increases in production capacity. To help ensure end-product quality, automated inspection is increasingly required for inspecting the progressively smaller and nearly microscopic components now used in a growing range of end-user electronics. For this reason, CyberOptics long-term future will benefit from today’s investments.”

Sono Motors and EasyMile are equipping an EZ10 autonomous shuttle prototype with Sono Motors’ patented solar technology, testing a new energy concept for electric and driverless shuttles.
The Munich based solar mobility provider plans to transfer flexible solar panels to a variety of platforms, now including the EZ10. This could unlock a new type of energy-efficient transportation which could really make a difference to the still weak spread of charging stations for electric vehicles.
The joint venture was recently revealed at the virtual Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2021 with Sono Motors announcing its intention to license its unique solar technology to other companies. Its solar technology modifies a vehicle's exterior by installing solar cells integrated into flexible polymers instead of glass. This makes it lighter, robust, cheaper and more efficient than any other vehicle solar technology currently available.
This technique allows the company to integrate solar panels on a variety of vehicle types creating a number of new application possibilities. Because of the large contact area on buses and trucks, these vehicles are particularly suitable to be fitted with the flexible panels.
The EZ10 electric shuttle, which has already been used in more than 30 countries around the world, operates up to 16 hours with one battery charge and must be plugged-in for around 6 hours to be fully re-charged from empty. This could be dramatically shortened with the new solar technology
The solar cells convert sunlight into energy that is stored in the vehicle’s battery. Solar cells, which produce energy no matter whether a vehicle is driving or parked, can significantly increase the range of the electric vehicle.
This could give the driverless shuttle even more autonomy as it would be more independent of the available charging infrastructure. A big cost-saver for private sites as well as an advantage for the many communities that use the shuttle as an extension of the public transportation network.
The solar body panels aren’t designed to replace traditional charging methods. They instead can reduce the number of charging intervals. This solar-powered approach is an efficient and quick way of promoting electric mobility.
EasyMile develops autonomous technology and vehicle solutions for passenger and goods transportation worldwide, its award-winning technology is leading in the field of autonomous driving. The company's unique software can be integrated in numerous other vehicle platforms allowing reliable and safe operations without an existing infrastructure and under mixed traffic conditions. It’s people mover solution, the EZ10, is the most-deployed driverless shuttle in the world and is already being operated in more than 30 countries to relieve local public transport.
EasyMile's autonomous vehicle solutions play a decisive role for the mobility of the future; they not only enable seamless and individual mobility for passenger transport by closing so-called first-last-mile transport gaps, but also automate the flow of goods in logistics processes. The technology company works closely with its partners on the latest technologies in the areas of software, robotics and artificial intelligence in order to further develop the vision of autonomous driving.

Currently, I am working on acquiring and analyzing a large amount of photos (1TB+) of projections from 3 different projector models to determine which one is best. I've worked on code for automated camera capture using the Canon EDSDK and blob detection using OpenCV in C++. Now I am using NumPy, Pandas, and the Python Image Library (PIL) to analyze these captured photos. In short, I am measuring/visualizing brightness falloff over time.
Last summer, I worked on 3D modelling the parts to a company product (the Interactive Portable Backdrop), and authoring an instruction manual with step-by-step rendered images of the construction. Below is a PDF of the instruction manual. I modeled all of the components of the product (including the projectors but excluding the cables) using SketchUp and used LaTeX to format the manual.


Review: Deity SPD-1 Smart Battery Distrobution for Location Sound
The SPD-1 is Deity’s battery distribution unit for smart batteries intended for location sound bags or compact sound carts. It’s features & cost make it one of the most compelling options on the market today. When considering what power distro makes sense for your location sound bag, this should definitely be in consideration.
Deity SPD-1 Features
The SPD-1 offers a fantastic feature set including multiple power input options, protection circuits, USB output, a smart battery data display, and for an incredible price given its feature set.
The Deity SPD-1 offers two TA4 power inputs and one USB C power input.
Two TA4 Power Inputs
The SPD-1 offers two TA4 power inputs for smart batteries and will carry data from the batteries (on pins 2 & 3) back to the SPD-1 for display. The TA4 inputs are rated at a max draw of 10 amps max for the unit (5A max per output group). The TA4s prioritize whichever source’s voltage is higher, and once equal they draw in parallel. Non-smart power sources can also be used but data read outs will be limited.
USB C Power In
The SPD-1’s USB C input can power your bag off of USB C power sources capable of providing 12 volts DC. This is one feature I initially overlooked thinking that it has no place in a professional workflow, but I’ve come around on this. While this would never be my first choice as a power source, in the event of a battery cup going down or something similar, the USB C acts as an emergency power input. The ubiquitous availability of USB C power banks and laptop battery chargers throughout the world means you could always find a solution should you find yourself without the ability to use smart batteries.
4 Pin Hirose
The Deity SPD-1 features six hirose (4 pin) outputs in two output groups. Group I has two hirose outputs, where as Group II has four outputs. Each output group is rated at 5 amps max with every output on Group II having 2 amp auto reseting fuses.
The front panel has a USB A port (5v/2a) for charing your phone or anything else you might need usb A power for. This USB port is only active when either the Group I or Group II switches are active; That way when you are powered down, the usb power circuit doesn’t continue to drain your batteries.
Locking Power Switches
The locking toggle switches feel great, and are of comparable in quality to any other battery distribution unit on the market. In fact, the switches are so familia that I suspect it is the same component that I used years ago on my (now retired) DIY battery distro and that Audioroot use on their distros. The switches feel identical and the bases look the same, so I suspect its the same component with different toggle switch actuator caps covering them.
Display & Battery Data
The 1.1” color display shows you relevant information including remaining battery run time, battery percentage, battery voltage, total draw in watts, battery amperage draw, battery cycle count, battery cell temperature, battery “fuel” gauges showing charge levels, and more. Should you encounter an over voltage, the warning will appear on the screen as well.
Smart Battery Cup Included with SPD-1
The Deity SPD-1 Includes a Deity SPD-T4BATT smart battery cup in the box to get you started. Considering one battery cup comes with the unit, that further makes this a cost effective option since other power distro manufacturers do not include a battery cup with their battery distros generally.
The build quality is excellent, with a lightweight aluminum chassis, a screen that can hold up to abuse, and high quality locking toggle switches, I’m very happy with how this power distro is built. This battery distribution unit is truly at a quality level that can be trusted by professional sound mixers.
Final Thoughts About The Deity SPD-1
The Deity SPD-1 battery distribution unit has one of the best feature sets available of any comparable product with a significantly lower price point. The build quality is excellent, and has all the features needed by professional production sound mixers. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this unit to other sound mixers. The SPD-1 has become a daily driver for me integrated into my Sound Devices Scorpio bag.
While very minor, should they make a revision to its design at some point, it would be great to have the options to display temperature in fahrenheit and select input priority rather than voltage priority for power sources.
All in all, the SPD-1 is a fantastic product from Deity, and I’m loving the direction Deity is moving towards with their focus on creating high quality accessories for location sound mixers. This would be my first choice for a power distribution unit based on what’s currently available from every manufacturer. Since it has one of the best feature sets and it’s pricing is very reasonable for what it offers, I see it as a no brainer for anyone looking to get a new battery distro for their location sound equipment.


NICK EICHER, HOST: So how’d you like to have the job of tracking asteroids that might strike Earth?
Well, NASA has that job, and it’s not easy to make the proper calculations. Back in 2004, scientists were concerned that dangerous asteroid 99942 Apophis was on a collision course with us. Predictions said, the year 2036, then 2068, and now it seems we’re good for at least the rest of this century.
Apophis does orbit the sun and it will make a close pass by the year 2029, and by close, we mean 20-thousand miles. But given the vastness of space, it is kind of skin-of-the-teeth close.
It’s The World and Everything in It.

The scope of delivery of the smaXtec Base Station SX.1 includes the following components:
Inform your smaXtec consultant upfront if you want to use the Internet connection via GSM (using the built-in SIM card) or via a local router.
If no mobile reception is available at your barn, the Internet connection will be established via Ethernet cable. In this case, the smaXtec Base Station will be connected to a local router.
Activation in the smaXtec Messenger: Navigate to „Boluses & Devices“ and activate the device using the serial number on the side label. Activating the device is necessary so the Base Station will be assigned you organisation and can be used properly.
1. Prepare the Internet connection. The Internet connection can be established via a local router (1a) or via the integrated SIM card (1b). If the built-in SIM card is used, the GSM antenna is necessary.
2. Prepare the power supply. Consider avoiding loop cables as they might lead to transmission problems. If possible, lead the cable from above to the Base Station. If no wall socket within 3 metres is available, we recommend installing the new power outlet on the left side of the smaXtec Base Station.
3. Status LEDs: The LEDs on the top left of the device will inform you about the proper functionality of the Base Station. The Power LED (on top) indicates, if the smaXtec Base Station is switched on. The Link LED (in the middle) shows the status of the Internet connection. The Data LED (bottom) indicates if data from smaXtec sensors is being read out.
To mount the Base Station, follow these steps:
Next, establish the power supply via the mains adapter. If you don’t use the GSM option, establish the Internet connection via Ethernet cable. For a dust- and waterproof use of the smaXtec Base Station, use an according smaXtec network cable (availbale in 5/10/20m length). The cable is not included but can be purchased at smaXtec or your local smaXtec dealer.
Verify the proper functionality by looking at the status LEDs. The connection can take up to 10 minutes. After successful installation, the Power LED and the Link LED should glow continuously in green. If this is not the case, please take a look at the user manual for more details.

Teddington’s National Physical Laboratory (NPL) has been declared the official birthplace of atomic timekeeping.
The European Physical Society Historic Sites award recognises places in Europe that have made an exceptional contribution to physics and was handed over at the laboratory on Friday, January 31.
he award recognises NPL as the place where the first practical atomic clock was built, a landmark that changed global timekeeping and made modern communications and location services possible.
In the 1950s Louis Essen constructed the atomic clock, Caesium Mk. 1, with fellow physicist John Parry, at NPL.
This new clock kept time more accurately than any other in existence and eventually paved the way for redefining the second in 1967, based on the fundamental properties of caesium atoms, rather than the Earth’s rotation.
Professor John Dudley, president of the European Physical Society, said: “Today NPL is justly recognised as a historic site.
“Essen’s work here, as well as that of many other leading scientists, has benefited the lives of all Europeans by providing the precision of timing required for applications such as advanced telecommunications, navigation and defence systems.”
NPL continues to provide a vital role in managing and distributing the UK’s time and carries out research in time and frequency measurement, which aims to improve timekeeping accuracy.
Dr Brian Bowsher, managing director of NPL, said: “Being recognised by the EPS is an honour and is testament to the work of our current, as well as our past scientists. Although invisible, atomic time has impacted the lives of all of us.
“What’s more, ground-breaking developments continue to be made in this field, with the a new generation of atomic clocks on the horizon that could provide everything from improved satellite navigation systems to more sensitive tests of fundamental physical theories.”

Revolutionizing General Survey Applications with 3D Terrestrial Laser Scanning Technology
Surveying is known to be one of the oldest professions in the world. Dating back to 1900 AD, tools such as Gunter’s Chain, Compass and Transit have been used to obtain distances and angles. Since then, technological advancement has seen the land surveying instruments evolve. Today, devices commonly used by land surveyors include the Digital Level, Digital Theodolite, Total Station and GPS/GNSS. Paired with powerful computers and rapidly improving software tools, land surveyors today have a variety of options to complete their surveying tasks, with much more ease and within a shorter timeframe.
3D terrestrial laser scanner (3D TLS) is the latest and newest technology, and it has been gaining acceptance in the land surveying field, especially for general surveying applications, such as Topographic, As-Built, Volume and Area Measurement, Monitoring and more. 3D TLS uses advanced technology to produce extremely detailed three-dimensional point cloud datasets of complex environments and geometries.
The captured point clouds are then processed by the 3D TLS software, which is used to create contours and meshes, calculate volumes and create profiles and cross-sections. In this webinar, you will see Geomagic Software Solutions’ ability to work directly with the scan data collected by the FARO Laser Scanner Focus3D, which enables generation of 3D measurement reports, computation of mesh volumes, and extraction of 2D Sketches/3D features to be performed easily. Learn about the usage of 3D scan data in monitoring applications, as-built 3D models or transfer for downstream applications.

The Q13 protection mod is extremely important as there have been hams who have blown Q13 within hours (or even minutes) of getting their new BITX40v3 working and hooked up to an antenna. The cause is because they transmitted on a nearby antenna with their 100W or higher station rig while the BITX40 was receiving on its antenna.
The symptom of a damaged Q13 is that receive still works fine but there is no transmit. Note that although Q13 is a driver for the transmitter circuit, its base is connected to the antenna during receive.
Q13 can be replaced by a 2N3904 transistor (there is an SMD version if desired). 73, AL VE3RRD
The 2nd harmonic is a little too high for North American standards. Add a 100 pF 100V NP0 capacitor across L7 in the output filter. This will reduce the 2nd harmonic by about 20 dB. If you are planning on increasing the output power above the normal 5 to 7W, then you should use a 200V capacitor.

The availability of Nvidia’s AI chips is increasing, according to Kevin Scott, chief technology officer of Microsoft, making it simpler for the company to obtain the chips it requires for its Azure cloud computing platform. The increased supply, according to Scott, is the result of the generative AI hoopla having subsided.
Graphics processing units (GPUs) from Nvidia are gradually becoming more available, according to Scott. Since the launch of the ChatGPT chatbot by Microsoft-supported OpenAI at the end of last year, GPUs have been in high demand.
Last month, Nvidia stated that it anticipated revenue to increase by 170% this quarter. Because of its monopoly on the artificial intelligence chip industry, the company’s gross profit margins have increased from 44% to 70% in just one year. The value of Nvidia’s shares has increased.
Generative AI is a type of artificial intelligence that can create new content, such as text, images, and music. It has become increasingly popular in recent years, and this has led to a high demand for Nvidia’s AI chips, which are well-suited for running generative AI models.
Scott’s comments are a positive sign for the AI industry. They suggest that the supply of AI chips is improving, which will make it easier for companies to develop and deploy AI applications.
According to finance director Colette Kress on the most recent results call, Nvidia has revealed plans to increase its supply with each passing quarter till next year.
Microsoft is also developing its own custom AI chips, codenamed Athena, which are designed to be more efficient and cost-effective than Nvidia’s GPUs for certain AI tasks. However, Microsoft has said that it does not see Athena as a replacement for Nvidia’s GPUs, but rather as a complementary technology.
For both businesses, the relationship between Microsoft and Nvidia is crucial. Nvidia needs Microsoft to help it sell its GPUs to enterprise clients, and Microsoft needs Nvidia’s GPUs to power its Azure AI services.

Here’s a letter that Umesh Vazirani (my adviser at Berkeley) sent to The Economist, and which he kindly permitted me to share. I’m guessing they’ll print this one instead of mine, which is fine by me.
Your article “Orion’s belter” regarding D-Wave’s demonstration of a “practical quantum computer”, sets a new standard for sloppy science journalism. Most egregious is your assertion that quantum computers can solve NP-complete problems in “one shot” by exploring exponentially many solutions at once. This mistaken view was put to rest in the infancy of quantum computation over a decade ago when it was established that the axioms of quantum physics severely restrict the type of information accessible during a measurement. For unstructured search problems like the NP-complete problems this means that there is no exponential speed up but rather at most a quadratic speed up.
Your assertions about D-Wave are equally specious. A 16 qubit quantum computer has smaller processing power than a cell phone and hardly represents a practical breakthrough. Any claims about D-Wave’s accomplishments must therefore rest on their ability to increase the number of qubits by a couple of orders of magnitude while maintaining the fragile quantum states of the qubits. Unfortunately D-Wave, by their own admission, have not tested whether the qubits in their current implementation are in a coherent quantum state. So it is quite a stretch to assert that they have a working quantum computer let alone one that potentially scales. An even bleaker picture emerges when one more closely examines their algorithmic approach. Their claimed speedup over classical algorithms appears to be based on a misunderstanding of a paper my colleagues van Dam, Mosca and I wrote on “The power of adiabatic quantum computing”. That speed up unfortunately does not hold in the setting at hand, and therefore D-Wave’s “quantum computer” even if it turns out to be a true quantum computer, and even if it can be scaled to thousands of qubits, would likely not be more powerful than a cell phone.
Roger A. Strauch Professor of Computer Science
Director, Berkeley Quantum Computing Center
Update (2/18): There’s now a Nature news article about D-Wave (hat tip to the Pontiff). Like pretty much every other article, this one makes no attempt to address the fundamental howlers about the ability of quantum computers to solve NP-complete problems — but at least it quotes me saying that “almost every popular article written on this has grotesquely over-hyped it.”

Intelligent surveillance 24/7
LOGSTOR Detect is LOGSTOR’s concept for complete surveillance of pipe systems. Copper wires are embedded in the insulation foam around the pipes in LOGSTOR systems and run along the entire stretch of pipe. The wires feed information back to LOGSTOR Detect units, which monitor the network for moisture or short circuits. The system makes sure that leaks or breaks in the pipe network are registered immediately, i.e. before the scope of the damage escalates.
LOGSTOR Detect allows pipe network operators to take preventative action before damage occurs or increases in scope. The system registers even minor defects, opening the door to preventative maintenance. In addition, pinpoint localisation helps cut repair costs significantly and substantially increases the service life of the entire pipe system.
Responsibility for surveillance of the supply network can be kept in-house or outsourced to LOGSTOR itself. There are several surveillance programs, which can be adapted to suit the needs of the individual customer. A GPRS-based surveillance program sends all data about the pipe system from the surveillance unit(s) to a central computer via a wireless connection. The central computer immediately analyses the data and issues alarms by email or SMS as and when necessary.
LOGSTOR also supplies hosting solutions that handle surveillance of district heating or energy companies’ supply networks. This service includes subsequent reporting of the network status, recommendations for necessary actions, support of analyses and reports, as well as continuous upgrading of the system. LOGSTOR Detect means security around the clock, with a system that reveals even the smallest complications and assures supply reliability – for the benefit of both people and the environment.

With the help of our new intern Mattias we finally got around to shooting a short video and taking photos of the Crazyflie 2.0 prototypes. We are really excited to finally show the new version and we are looking forward to getting some feedback from our readers. We are currently finalizing the design of the motor mounts, so for the video and photos we are using 3D printed prototypes printed in our Ultimaker. The design used in the photos is pretty close to the final design, which will also be transparent. The Crazyflies shown doesn’t have any expansion boards attached, instead there’s just a PCB that holds the battery.

Circuit Lab Philosophy
Engage with electronics as tools - not toys.
Electronics power our world more every day, and the people who can manipulate them will design our future. By learning to creatively engage with the electronics as tools, we bring our students the skills to interact fully with the modern world. And we make lots of fun projects along the way.
Circuit Lab programs give kids the opportunity to create devices by blending technical concepts with hands-on experimentation in a creative environment. We use the latest technologies including Arduino and Raspberry Pi to design smarter flashlights, race cars, musical instruments, games, and more. Each class session begins with a brief conceptual overview before launching into an interactive, hands-on activity.
Circuit Lab programs are a fun and creative way to give kids fluency and confidence in an increasingly necessary skill. We are excited to teach your kids the tools to design and create whatever they imagine!
Circuit Lab offers after school enrichment, summer day programs, special events, and homeschool classes for children ages 8 to 14. Our core curriculum is as follows:
Hands-On Electronics For grades 3-5/Ages 8-11
Tinker with electronics while learning the basics of computer programming. We begin by experimenting with the fundamentals of electronics and circuitry, and step up to projects where our class of young makers will design their own interactive and programmable devices. Participants use the latest tools including Arduino (for building interactive devices) and Raspberry Pi (for learning about computers and coding) to experiment with LEDs, resistors, motors, and programming. Each class day gives participants the chance to design a hands-on project with the guidance of skilled Circuit Lab instructors.
Creative Computing For grades 6-8/Ages 11-14
Get connected as we explore not just how to use computers, but how to make computers work for you. We will use the latest tools: Arduino (for building interactive devices) and Raspberry Pi (for learning about computers and coding) to design hands-on projects ranging from LED light shows to touchless musical instruments to wearable computers, all in the name of taking ideas and making them real. Participants have access to a comprehensive library of parts and equipment, and experienced instructors who can help them create the devices of their dreams.


• AI (Artificial Intelligence) is the broader concept of creating intelligent machines.
• ML (Machine Learning) is a subset of AI focused on training machines to improve tasks through data.
• DL (Deep Learning) is a subset of ML that leverages neural networks to learn complex patterns autonomously.
• NN (Neural Networks) are the fundamental components of DL, serving as the intricate architecture that allows deep learning models to excel in various tasks.
In more detail:
1. Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to computer systems that can perform tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as problem-solving, speech recognition, decision-making, or language understanding. AI aims to mimic human cognitive functions, and it's the overarching concept.
2. Machine Learning (ML) is a subset of AI. ML enables machines to learn from data and improve their performance on specific tasks over time. In addition, it requires humans to explicitly define the relevant characteristics or attributes within the data that the model should pay attention to. Imagine it as someone carefully selecting and providing the machine with specific hints to perform a task better. For instance, in email spam detection, a machine learning model might require explicit rules about what characteristics make an email spammy.
3. Deep Learning (DL) goes even deeper. It's a subset of ML that's inspired by the structure of our brain, consisting of artificial neural networks. The "deep" in deep learning signifies the numerous hidden layers within these neural networks. Unlike traditional networks, which might have just 2-3 hidden layers, deep neural networks can extend to over 150 layers. This depth enables them to automatically learn intricate patterns and features from extensive datasets, particularly excelling in tasks like image and speech recognition. For example, in image recognition, deep learning can recognise complex features like cat whiskers or dog tails by itself.
4. Neural Networks (NN) are the building blocks of deep learning. They are a set of algorithms that aim to recognise underlying relationships in data through a process that mimics the human brain. Each neuron, or node, in a neural network is connected to the others, and these connections enable the network to learn and make sense of data. For instance, in your favourite social media app, NNs help recognize faces when tagging friends in photos or curate your news feed based on your interests. They're also at play in recommendation systems like Netflix, suggesting movies tailored to your preferences.
