Automated assembly system

Advanced manufacturing systems (AMS) automate the test, measurement, inspection, and assembly of fiberoptic components for optical communications.

May 1st, 2000

Advanced manufacturing systems (AMS) automate the test, measurement, inspection, and assembly of fiberoptic components for optical communications. The AMS includes parts handling, tooling, and automation software. In situ device testing during assembly enhances yield, reduces scrap, and eliminates reassembly screening.

Large-scale simulations demonstrate that chaos is responsible for stochastic heating of dense plasma by intense laser energy. This image shows a snapshot of electron distribution phase space (position/momentum) from the dense plasma taken from PIC simulations, illustrating the so-called 'stretching and folding' mechanism responsible for the emergence of chaos in physical systems.

The Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) funded a Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) project to utilize hyperspectral video imaging systems for vehicle and pedestrian tracking. The project will use the hyperspectral video system shown above, which was developed by associate professor and Frederick and Anna B. Wiedman Chair Charles Bachmann, left.
