Bridging the Technology Divide in the COVID-19 Era: Using Virtual Outreach to Expose Middle and High School Students to Imaging Technology
Published on: September 28, 2022
Abstract:
The possibilities presented by teleconferencing equipment and Internet-based applications are well-known, but scientists are now looking at the value of wearable devices that can transmit specific data regarding body functions such as energy intake and expenditure, and even sleep. The idea is to arm diabetics, the chronically obese, and disease managers with the kind of real-time information that can influence lifestyle choices when they really count.

Electronic Distance Measuring Instruments
Electronic Distance Measuring Instruments (EDMs) are essential tools in modern surveying, offering precise distance measurements by emitting electromagnetic signals and calculating the time required for these signals to travel to a target and return. Two primary types of signals are used in EDMs — light waves and microwaves — each suited to specific environmental and distance requirements. Light-wave-based EDMs utilize either infrared or laser light, providing high accuracy over short distances...
