OE Reports

http://www.spie.org/web/oer/oer_home.html

OE Reports is a partial electronic version of the monthly print magazine
of the same title.  OE Reports is the monthly news publication of the The
International Society for Optical Engineering.  OE Reports articles cover
new and evolving technologies, applications of optics and optoelectronics,
and business and economic trends in the industry. OE Reports includes a
regular section on technology transfer, offering insight into the many
aspects of commercialization of advancing technology. The "Joint Venture
Exchange," a free service, is a monthly listing of companies seeking
partners in working relationships.

The newspaper also provides a forum of the technical interests and
activities of SPIE's various working groups, and includes reports on
worldwide technical activities from correspondents around the world.
Published since 1984, OE Reports now has an international circulation of
approximately 30,000 per issue, and is distributed without charge as a
benefit of SPIE membership. The newspaper includes a Technical Product and
Service Guide and one of the most widely read employment sections in the
industry.

        could add some imaging capability, either in use alone or as one
        part of an imaging system that allows sensor
        fusion.

        Light Constructions

        Researchers at Philips Research Labs in The Netherlands are
	showing both the potential of using optics in neural
        nets, as well as the possible pitfalls. Their novel system makes
	use of two properties of lasers that are often
        considered to be disadvantages. Sunny Bains reports. 

        The Research Scene

        Ever been to a Laserium show? Isn't it time you went? Laserium is
	a fine combination of science and art, thanks
        to the work of Ivan Dryer. Eye-popping description.

        High-performance fiber optic gyros and their future

        Albert Tebo concludes a two-part article on high-performance fiber
	optic gyros and their future.

        Letting microbots feel their way

        A more autonomous microbot may be the result of applying recent
	research in microscopy to machine vision.
        Researchers at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in
	Zurich are working in this area.

        Patents: vehicles for protecting technology in a globally
	competitive environment

        A patent is a potent weapon in today's globally competitive
