Speed Sensing Traffic Light

Speed Sensing Traffic Light 04/09/2004 04:05 PM

Stoplight to punish suburban speeders / Pleasanton finds a way to slow impatient drivers: Fascinating — they've found a way to turn speeders into red light runners.

In a move unprecedented in the Bay Area, the city's traffic engineers have created a traffic signal with attitude. It senses when a speeder is approaching and metes out swift punishment.

It doesn't write a ticket. It immediately turns from green to yellow to red.

More Trouble With Red Light And Speed
Camera
11/04/2003 03:39 PM
Bob Dole writes "Red light and speed camera supporters always claim that the camera never lies. These news items suggest otherwise. An Australian woman lost her license because a speed camera showed she was driving 104 MPH. The problem? Her nearly 30 year old Datsun's top speed is only 73MPH. Likewise, a Raleigh woman found herself trying to fight a camera ticket sent from a city she has never visited. Back down under, the police escorted hundreds of Aussie motorcyclists into a speed camera trap as they drove to an event organized by the police. Police collect $12,000. In each case, the use of machine enforcement causes the burden of proof to be placed on the innocent. They're each forced to fight city hall every time the camera is wrong (which is more than the proponents admit). The revolt against this setup grows in the UK with speed camera operators calling in sick because of the "stress" caused by angry motorists." This seems to be getting a lot of attention lately. We've also had another submission as frankiejr writes "Seems as though a woman in South Wales was clocked at 480mph by a speed camera and was promptly issued a ticket. Funniest part about it is that it was a really cheap car that can barely reach 50mph." Seems like this is the topic of the season.

This physics HOWTO explains a technique for verifying ht espeed of light using a microwave oven and a bunch of marshmallows.
[P]ut the dish of marshmallows in the microwave and cook on low heat. Microwaves do not cook evenly and the marshmallows will begin to melt at the hottest spots in the microwave. (I leaned this from our Food Science teacher Anita Cornwall.) Heat the marshmallows until they begin to melt in four or five different spots. Remove the dish from the microwave and observe the melted spots. Take the ruler and measure the distance between the melted spots. You will find that one distance repeats over and over. This distance will correspond to half the wavelength of the microwave, about 6 cm. Now turn the oven around and look for a small sign that gives you the frequency of the microwave. Most commercial microwaves operate at 2450 MHz.

All you do now is multiply the frequency by the wavelength. The product is the speed of light.

Glucose-sensing contact lenses


Glucose-sensing contact lenses 03/23/2005 01:19 PM
David Pescovitz: Bioengineers at the University of Maryland are developing contact lenses that change color in response to changes in blood sugar. The approach would benefit diabetics who traditionally use skin prick tests to monitor their glucose levels. One of scientist Chris Geddes's prototypes requires the wearer to use a handheld device that flashes a blue light at the eye and measures the glow. From New Scientist:
Geddes' team is looking at several options for users. Rather than having the entire contact lens glow, tiny sensor spots could be placed around the contact lens. Those spots could monitor glucose, as well as sodium, cholesterol and potassium...

The group is also working on a contact lens that would change colour like a traffic light - from green to yellow to orange to red - enabling the wearer or an observer to determine a broader range of blood sugar level, from too low to too high.

Designed to use Wi-Fi access points to triangulate position, Skyhook is touting this tech as a system that can work alongside GPS systems in order to maintain constant location information in any situation. Thanks to the ubiquity of Wi-Fi, the system seems like a good idea and it can work with just about any 802.11 device, meaning your handhelds and laptops can become local positioning units without much trouble.

tosh603-ov.jpg imageVodafone Japan is getting two new Toshiba handsets, the V603T and V603SH, both of which are clamshells. The V603SH has a motion sensor, allowing users to wave it around to perform basic commands (not unlike using mouse gestures)—neat, but ultimately pointless, I fear. At the very least, it's golden, which should be worth some price premium. Its companion V603T appears to be essentially the same phone minus the motion sensing—in its case, Toshiba is focusing on the ability to pick-up analog television broadcasts (something the V603SH can do, as well).

Both phone will be available in February in a Japan near you.
