1.   These chapters are however well written and clearly show the scope of optical sensor technology in industrial processes.

2.   But instead of striking strings stretched tautly over an iron plate, the hammers pass across optical sensors that are used to calculate a nuanced pianolike sound.

3.   For example, an optical sensor being used in a prototype is found in a ordinary video camera.

4.   Ibis makes silicon wafers for the integrated circuits used in PCs, mobile phones, hand-held computers and optical sensors.

5.   It combines a traditional steel tape measure with optical sensors and a liquid crystal display.

6.   It uses optical sensors to find its way around with greater precision than any conventional mechanical mouse.

7.   Optical sensors could monitor wear to determine when a service is due.

8.   Optical sensors inside the measure keep track of tiny holes in the tape itself and calculate the distance based on how many holes are counted.

9.   OTM Technologies, based in Israel, has patented the technology underlying the VPen, an optical sensor that measures three-dimensional movement.

10.   The kill vehicle relies on its super-cooled sensors to detect heat from the incoming warhead and on an optical sensor to help distinguish the warhead from the decoy.
