What:

Visit DALSA’s booth (Hall 4, Booth D53) at VISION 2009 where DALSA will present the following:

8 New Digital Cameras Models

– The Spyder3 Color, 2k, 18 kHz and 4k, 9 kHz GigE cameras provides high color fidelity, ease of use, and a low-cost solution for the fast growing color imaging market. Spyder 3 Color uses dual line sensor technology and is GigE Vision® compliant. More details will be announced at the show.

– The Falcon VGA300 HG, Falcon 1M120 HG, and the Falcon 1.4M100 HG cameras feature high quality DALSA CMOS image sensors. These three new Falcon cameras are ideal for many industrial vision applications including electronics and semiconductor inspection. More details on these cameras will be announced at the show.

– The recently announced BOA smart camera will be demonstrated for the first time at VISION 2009. BOA is an all-in-one machine vision solution that is smarter, easier to use, and more flexible than previous generations of smart cameras. It is the first smart camera in its class to incorporate multiple processing engines.

– Two new models of its Genie™ GigE Vision-compliant camera family. The Genie C1280 and Genie M1280 cameras feature high quality, 1.2 Megapixel image. Genie cameras are extremely easy to use; this has resulted in their successful and swift adoption, displacing analog cameras to become the “camera of choice” for machine vision.

In addition DALSA will be previewing its latest frame grabber, image processor and Sapera Essential functionality…

– A new Measurement Tool for machine vision inspection applications including positioning, identification, and guidance and Nitrous — turbo-charged image processing — a suite of add-on image processing functions optimized for GPU and multi-core CPUs. Download evaluation copy of Sapera Essential 01/2010 Preview Edition.

– The Xcelera CL+ PX8 Full frame grabber. The newest addition to the Xcelera series delivers bandwidth beyond 1 Gigabyte/second over multiple lane PCI Express implementations. Compatible with a Base, Medium or Full Camera Link® camera, the Xcelera-CL+ PX8 Full supports a wide variety of multi-tap area and line scan color and monochrome cameras.

– The XRI-1600, a PC-based digital image processor designed for enhanced X-ray imaging in both diagnostic and industrial inspection applications. This Camera Link, PCIe X 4 image processor is Windows 7 compatible and delivers pixel depths of 8, 10, 12, 14, and 16.

Plus…

Proposed Next Generation Camera Interface

– Learn more about a new camera to frame grabber interface pioneered by DALSA (HS Link). The new interface complements existing Camera Link data rates, while delivering beyond Camera Link bandwidth capability. The interface utilizes off-the-shelf components carrying image data, configuration data, and low-jitter real time triggering signals over a simple network topology. DALSA is scheduled to present details to the Automated Imaging Association’s (AIA) Camera Link committee in Stuttgart.

Over one million people suffer eye injuries each year in America, most of which could have been prevented. The consciousness of eye care should be held by everyone. It is an advisable choice to wear protective safety glasses for eye care when people do sports and recreational activities. Also, people should pay more attention to children’s eyecare, supervise kids when they are playing with toys or games to avoid hurting their eyes from some projectile toys such as pellet guns. If people have an eye injury, get medical attention from an eye care doctor as soon as possible.

People also should attach importance to the influences of environments on their eye health. Just like the skin, eyes are damaged by UV rays coming from the sun, whether it is sunny day or overcast. According to eye care professional, people should always wear sunglasses which can offer UV ray protection for eyecare in daylight hours. When it is smoky, people should follow eyecare practitioners’ advice that try not to rub eyes, for not transfer dust and ash from hands to eyes.

People who do any of these things which require staring at one place for a long time such as working on a computer really need eye care. It is important to take frequent brakes and look at things farther away for a moment. There are some special eyecare films offered for computer screens to minimize the harm from looking at monitor for long period of time. As is pointed put by some eye care experts, people should make sure the lighting is correct for the activity they are doing-a bit dimmer for computer work and bright for reading.

Frequent check-ups with eyecare professional will be good for eyes health. If people have some eyes problems, some eye care products may help people for eyecare such as eye drops, which can use to relieve dry eyes. Also, people can do a number of eye care exercises, which can make eyes to stay in good shape and help with any inherent problems.
