If you poke a TV-mimic's 'screen', is it hard like glass or soft like human skin? Or is it somewhere in between, like the turgidity of an eyeball?

If it's hard, is it covered in a hard layer (like the big clear scales covering snakes' eyes) with squish underneath?

TV mimic "screens" are like skin in a way, like the rest of their body! The chromatophores that exist underneath the skin-like material is what makes their false screen change colors, express their emotions, and allows them the ability to see!

Apologies for the rushed diagram, as mimic biology is a little more complex than this simple drawing, but it is to help explain this biological aspect. The outer layer of their visors are a little hard but flexible! It almost feels like a very clear fingernail or chitin. It protects the insides from debris, injuries, and UV rays. The cell layer is where most of the magic happens! This is how their expressions, color, and visuals change! These purple spots are clumps of photosensors and chromatophores that change and alter themselves when the surrounding nerves and flesh are stimulated with certain hormones, such as cortisol (stress hormone) or endorphins (happy hormones). They can change shape in milliseconds, allowing for the mimic to express themselves fluidly, as if they had normal face expressions. This layer is usually surrounded in a type of jelly that simulates optic fluid, to both protect the nerves and to maintain the optic system. They both see and express out of the main "screen". The nerve layer is where the signals are transferred from the brain (not pictured) to the cell layer, which then reflects on the outer layer! These optical nerves are sensitive to light, chemicals, signals, and stimulus. These nerves are also extremely reactive and are very responsive to said stimuli, which encourages change in the cell layer. This innermost layer is connected to the brain of the mimic and also functions as the mimic's optic nerves deep inside of their chassis. Injury to this layer can lead to blindness, deafness, or even cognitive or abstract processing problems. This layer is deep and defended to help prevent these issues. These layers allow the mimic to have vision, expressions, and even signal communications! This is why they are very important to TV mimics!

Scorpion (1983) by Harprit Sandhu, Bob Syeszycki and Foad Rekabi, University of Illinois, for Rhino Robots Inc., Champaign, Il. The Scorpion is a robotic terminal, designed to follow instructions and return data sent over an RS-232 link. It’s based on the 6502 microprocessor with two software controllable 6522 Versatile Interface Adapters. Sensors include a pair of downward facing photo-reflectors enabling it to follow a tape on the ground, and it has bump sensors on each of its four sides. The most unusual feature is a two-axis optical dish, with a single photocell at its focal point. This dish can be scanned vertically and horizontally with a resolution of 1.5 degrees per step. "Conventional vision systems are too expensive. What if we could build an optical scanner that scanned the environment, collected the information, and displayed the information on the video screen? A display of 40 characters by 25 lines would produce 1000 pixels of varying brightness. This should be sufficient for recognizing many simple objects. We could experiment with pattern recognition, perform calculations to enhance contrast, and find edges. To gather this information, a cadmium/sulfide (CdS) photosensor is mounted at the focal point of a solar cigarette lighter." – The Scorpion Software Overview, by Harprit Sandhu, Robotics Age, January, February, March 1984.

New research explores durability of 2D hybrid materials

New research has unveiled the fatigue resistance of 2D hybrid materials. These materials, known for their low cost and high performance, have long-held promise across semiconductor fields. However, their durability under cyclic loading conditions remained a mystery—until now. Led by Dr. Qing Tu, professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Texas A&M University, this is the first study of fatigue behavior on the semiconductor material called 2D hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites (HOIPs) in practical applications. Researchers recently published their findings in Advanced Science. This new generation of semiconductors holds great potential in nearly the whole spectra of semiconductor applications, including photovoltaics, light-emitting diodes and photosensors, among others. The application of repeated or fluctuating stresses below the material's strength, known as fatigue loading, often leads to failure in 2D hybrid materials. However, the fatigue properties of these materials have remained elusive despite their widespread use in various applications.

Yes, this thing will actually end your life. More specifically, it is rigged with bombs so that your head will explode.

In his blog post, Luckey explains how his lethal new contraption is supposed to work:

I used three of the explosive charge modules I usually use for a different project, tying them to a narrow-band photosensor that can detect when the screen flashes red at a specific frequency, making game-over integration on the part of the developer very easy. When an appropriate game-over screen is displayed, the charges fire, instantly destroying the brain of the user.

What’s wrong with some people? This is a guy who became an overnight Billionaire, and he does what with his wealth?

After several hours of debugging today, I've concluded that one of our photosensors is actually haunted

Worm vision

An earthworm doesn't have compound eyes but it does have chromatic photosensors that run continuously in series along its body.

scientists used to think that this would only allow the worms to sense light and darkness but in reality it's a primitive form of sight allowing them to see a one dimensional image.

For an idea of what that may look like see if you can recognise this celebrity after using a 1D filter on the image.

still not convinced?

how could this ever be a practical form of vision?

see if you can spot where the animal is in this panning shot.

when the movie Jurassic Park talks about how dinosaurs can only sense movement.

this is the kind of thing they're actually talking about.

System Sensor and InnovairFlex Smoke Detectors

If you’re looking for a smoke detector for your home, you’ll probably have a few different options in mind. These range from conventional systems to more advanced features that allow you to get a more detailed look at the status of the smoke detector.

i3-Series conventional

The System Sensor i3-Series is a game changer in the world of smoke detectors. The innovative i3 series boasts a number of features that help to simplify testing, inspection and maintenance. Among these is the i3 remote maintenance signal. This feature reduces nuisance calls, and the maintenance costs associated with them. This technology is also incorporated into the i3 system’s loop test and maintenance module.

The i3-Series smoke detector isn’t just about the i3 remote maintenance signal; there are many other intelligent and useful features that can help you to improve your installation.

Photoelectric

Photoelectric smoke detectors are the most commonly used type of alarm. These alarms work by focusing a beam of light onto a photosensor. The smoke particles in the sensor chamber reflect the beam back and trigger the alarm.

Photoelectric alarms are much smarter than ionization smoke detectors. They provide better fire detection and respond faster to smoldering fires. They are also less likely to be disabled. However, they do not give enough advance warning for smoldering fires.

First Alert Smoke Alarms are another type of smoke alarm that uses both photoelectric and ionization technologies. They are available in several different brands, from home improvement stores to online retailers.

Ionization

An ionization smoke detector is a device that uses a special radioactive element to detect changes in the electrical field. When properly used, this type of detector does not pose a health risk to people. It is also cheaper to manufacture than optical devices.

The basic ionization smoke detector is a round black structure with a horn. A tiny current flows through it, and it stops when smoke enters it. An electronic circuit in the smoke detector detects the difference in the current. The alarm then sounds.

Ionization smoke detectors work by using a tiny piece of americium. The alpha particles that are emitted by this radioactive material ionize the oxygen atoms and nitrogen atoms inside the chamber. The alpha particles are heavy and cannot travel very far.

InnovairFlex

InnovairFlex (tm) duct smoke detectors combine a bevy of innovations into one sleek package. With its watertight design and UV-resistant housing, InnovairFlex duct smoke detectors are ideal for use on HVAC equipment. Their slick and streamlined packaging makes installation a breeze. Moreover, their patented InnovairFlex sampling tube offers an easy installation process.

While the InnovairFlex duct smoke has been around for some time, its latest iterations have taken it to a new level. The XL, for example, features a more robust sampling tube, improved false alarm immunity, and a broader operating temperature range. These improvements simplify installation and enhance the overall duct smoke detection experience. Lastly, the XL’s new streamlined housing boasts a 3/ 4-inch conduit knockout, which makes wiring the system a breeze.

HM Series Advanced intelligent thermal sensors provide early warning of developing fires

Fire is one of the major factors responsible for property damage and deaths. It also has a significant impact on the economy. Therefore, the development of a robust fire detection technology is essential. It should be capable of detecting fire early in order to avoid disasters.

A wide variety of sensors have been developed for fire detection applications. They can be classified into ion, gas, photoelectric, and thermal sensors. Each has its own benefits and disadvantages. It is important to ensure that the correct signal conditioning is done in order for the sensor to interact with other fire detection systems.

Clean with compressed air

If you have a System Sensor smoke detector, then you should clean it with compressed air regularly. The dust and other particles that accumulate on the sensor can cause false alarms and may affect the performance of the smoke detector.

The first step in cleaning the smoke detector is to disconnect the battery and remove it. Then, put the unit in a Test Mode. Then, you can blow on the head to see if the smoke responds.

After testing, if the smoke detector does not trigger, then you need to replace the smoke detector. You can also contact a professional alarm company to take care of it for you.

The first semiconductor image sensor was the charge-coupled device (CCD), invented by Willard S. Boyle and George E. Smith at Bell Labs in 1969,[5] based on MOS capacitor technology.[6] The NMOS active-pixel sensor was later invented by Tsutomu Nakamura's team at Olympus in 1985,[7][8][9] which led to the development of the CMOS active-pixel sensor (CMOS sensor) by Eric Fossum's team at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory in 1993.[10][8]

In the 1960s, Eugene F. Lally of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory was thinking about how to use a mosaic photosensor to capture digital images. His idea was to take pictures of the planets and stars while travelling through space to give information about the astronauts' position.[11] As with Texas Instruments employee Willis Adcock's film-less camera (US patent 4,057,830) in 1972,[12] the technology had yet to catch up with the concept.

The Cromemco Cyclops was an all-digital camera introduced as a commercial product in 1975. Its design was published as a hobbyist construction project in the February 1975 issue of Popular Electronics magazine. It used a 32×32 metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) image sensor, which was a modified MOS dynamic RAM (DRAM) memory chip.[13]

Steven Sasson, an engineer at Eastman Kodak, invented and built a self-contained electronic camera that used a CCD image sensor in 1975.[14][15][16] Around the same time, Fujifilm began developing CCD technology in the 1970s.[17] Early uses were mainly military and scientific; followed by medical and news applications

Uses for an optical isolator

Opto isolators are also used in computer systems for data transfer by modulating the output voltage of a primary circuit and using light as a medium. Opto isolators are ideal for the recording industry because they reduce all interference that would have been generated by passing a voltage directly from one circuit component to another. Photodiodes and phototransistors are the two most common light receivers. They also have a small light source or LED to send signals and a photosensitive component to receive transmissions. Both types of optoisolators have a casing to prevent outside light from interfering with the device operation. Analog optoisolators reproduce the input signal and provide an analog output that is used when the signal amount is the circuit requirements’ overriding factor. The digital type changes its output to match the signal received and is used when pulse or bit output is required between circuits. There are two types of optoisolators-digital and analog. This allows the input of the secondary component to be equal or slightly less than the output of the primary component. The electricity is then directed to the other components within that circuit. The light beam travels down the closed channel until it reaches the photosensor that then converts the light back into electricity. A voltage from a circuit is used as the isolator’s power source and is used to produce a beam of near-infrared light. Opto isolators consist of a power source, a near-infrared LED, a closed channel, and a photosensor. They now cost less than US$1 and continue to get cheaper. They are good for quality control in the recording industry, and can be used in other industrial applications such as electroencephalography, data transfer, and optoelectronics. The cost of these devices have significantly reduced since they were first invented. Opto isolators regulate voltage levels by converting electricity into a beam of light. This prevents voltage spikes from impacting more than a single circuit and decreases the overall interference and noise that occurs with traditional communications connections. In order to achieve protection, SLAVE device must be powered by other power source than MASTER device (TapHome Core and Modules).An opto isolator is an electronic device that prevents high voltages from components in one side of a circuit from damaging or interfering with components on the other side of the same circuit. The isolator must always be installed on the side of one of the protected devices (MASTER) - as close as possible to it. MASTER side is protected device, typically TapHome Core control unit In this case, also power source must be galvanically isolated - the easiest way is to use separate power source. This is the most common situation when when connecting TapHome modules in the garden house, or meteo station on the roof. TapHome module or other RS485 device device is connected to TapHome BUS, and the wire or device itself is outside of the lightning protection.External device is powered by other (typically its internal) power source and does not have galvanic or optical isolation.Use of optical isolator is obligatory if one of the conditions is met: Optical isolator protects TapHome control unit when connecting Modbus RTU or other RS485 bus device to it. Optical isolator supports bi-directional "half-duplex" transmission for RS485 networks.
