A fiery tanker truck crash that melted a bridge and closed a mile-long stretch of the major interstate highway between New York and Boston, and officials say it will likely remain closed for weeks.The truck carrying 12,000 gallons of fuel oil collided with a car Thursday night on Interstate 95 in Bridgeport, Conn., sparking a huge fire that severely damaged both sides of the overpass where the accident happened. The truck driver and a firefighter were slight

It s going to be a pain in the neck, agreed Rowland.The fire was so hot it damaged the steel support beams that carry both sides of the highway over an avenue, authorities said. The overpass, whic

It appears that this highway will not be able to be used for an extended period of time, said Bridgeport Fire Chief Michael Maglione.

Basically every digital image sensor out there relies on silicon photodiodes to capture light. Jointly developed by researchers at Panasonic and Fujifilm, a new image sensor technology uses an organic layer instead鈥攁nd early tests results of the technology blow the status quo away. The new organic CMOS image sensor technology is currently being presented by researchers at the 2013 Symposium on VLSI Technology in Kyoto. In short, the technology uses an organic layer rather than a photodiode to convert incoming light into electricity. That a simp

stanley thermos mug nsor changes an imager architecture: As the image illustrates, the new design photo-sensitive layer is 1/7th the width of the conventional structure while leaving a greater area exposed to actual light. In terms of image quality, that translates to higher dynamic range and improved light sensitivity. The image below, which is pulled from the study, illustrates the benefits of better dynamic range. Sensors with higher dynamic range can record a greater difference between the darkest and lightest values in scene. According to calculations by SLR Lounge, the new sensor capable has 29.2 stops of dynamic range compared to 15.3 on the Nikon D800E, which has the best range of anything commercially available. Dynamic range is calculated on a logarithmic scale, but without getting into it, let just say: that
