SATURDAY PHOTO HUNT

This week's theme - TECHNOLOGY

I kinda figured that I'm gonna see a lot of Tivo, Playstations, remotes, video games, computer technology this weekend for the hunt, so I wracked my brain to find something out of the 'ordinary' in technology.....


[Laser Level]

The Laser Level Instrument generates an optical pulse. This pulse is reflected off an object or liquid and returns to the system receiver. A high-speed counter measures the time of flight from the start pulse to the return pulse. This time is used to determine the distance from the sensor to the material.


Laser Level Sensors are mostly used for measuring levels of bulk solids and opaque liquids. 80% of these units are used for dry solids. They employ Class I lasers, which are safe for the human eye(but I still wouldn't eyeball the laser beam myself). As most devices use laser of wavelength 1 micron, as opposed to radar's wavelength of 10,000+ microns, it reportedly has virtually no beam divergence, which means no false echoes, and easily measures surfaces at an angle. The narrow laser beam can pass through screens. It can traverse distances of up to 120 meters (for us Americans that's over 300 feet).

And hubby has an electronic stud finder also---but he won't allow me to go searching for the studs I have in mind!!!! And since this is a PG rated blog....I best leave the photo off here. *wink*

Technology at it's finest for us 'do it your-selfers'!!!
