Sensors resting at 60 - and 90 - metre depths in the Gulf of Mexico, off Mississippi, US, measured one
wave at 91 feet (28 metres) high and half a dozen
waves higher than 50 feet as Ivan passed directly
over the waters.
During a four - year period, the researchers used
sensors to measure relative changes in the velocity of seismic
waves moving through the volcano
over time.
Over the wide frequency range of seismic
waves transmitted through the Earth (hundreds of seconds to ten cycles per second), the
sensors of the permanent and transportable seismic and magnetotelluric arrays will resolve the smallest background motions at the quietest of sites, while remaining «on scale» for all but the largest ground motions from regional earthquakes.
«This phenomenon is intriguing because the longer a sound
wave lives, the more useful it can be for things such as precision
sensors — or for use with quantum computers, systems that can achieve exponential speeds
over your desktop computer for certain types of calculations.»
According to the article by Jennifer Schuessler, «
Over the past two weeks, Mr. Grunberg has spent several hours a day writing his novella, while a battery of
sensors and cameras tracked his brain
waves, heart rate, galvanic skin response (an electrical measure of emotional arousal) and facial expressions.
It makes use of those
sensors and allows you to silence your phone whenever it rings during call or alarms, as you need to
wave your hand
over the phone to make it work.
Waving your hand
over the phone or pulling it from a pocket will trigger the IR
sensors dotting its faceplate, lighting up the screen to display the time and waiting notifications.
And you can forget about
waving your hand
over the display to sneak that peek — the Nexus 6 lacks the infrared
sensors on the front that the Moto X and Verizon Droid Turbo have.
Back then, Samsung called its features Air View and Air Gesture, which allowed you to do things like hover your hand
over a tiny
sensor in the bezel to wake the screen and view notifications, or
wave your hand across the screen to switch between tabs or flip through photos.
Simply
wave your hand
over the screen and the
sensors will pick up the movement, then briefly show you notification icons in white while the rest of the screen stays black.
Using sound
waves matching the resonant frequencies of specific MEMS
sensors, the researchers made an Oculus Rift's display roll, HTC Vive and Microsoft HoloLens displays dither, Samsung Galaxy S7 and iPhone 7 VR apps also dither, toy robots spin around and fall
over, self - balancing scooters scoot away, and a DJI Phantom 3 drone bank wildly as its rotors spun at random rates.
Of course, Moto Display is still here, but it lacks the infrared
sensors of last year's device to more quickly detect when a hand is nearby; you have to nudge or pick up the device to check notifications, rather than
waving your hand
over it.
With touchless controls, one can use the assistant Moto Voice feature, and also activate the screen showing the notifications on lock screen when the hand is
waved over the device about 6 inches above the
sensors.
There's also a sort of glance screen that you can enable, which displays the time and notifications on a black background when you
wave your hand
over the ambient
sensor.
More useful part here, is when you get a call or when the alarm starts ringing in the device, and you just need to
wave your hand
over the
sensors to silence them.
