An unexpected revisit to my earlier post on mouse encoder hacking sparked a timely opportunity to reexamine quadrature encoders, this time with a clearer lens and a more targeted focus on their signal ...

Adapter-based optical compression for long documents using DeepSeek's DeepEncoder with Qwen3-VL-2B. Built on DeepSeek-OCR by DeepSeek-AI. This repo includes deepencoder.py from DeepSeek-OCR ...

Anthony Mangieri is on top of the pizza world once again—but this time, he’s not alone. Last year, Mangieri and his New York City-based Una Pizza Napoletana regained the ranking of the world’s best ...

Founded in 2003, California-based eyewear retailer Zenni Optical offers more than 4,000 glasses and sunglasses designs, along with a range of lenses tailored to meet specialized needs. While some ...

Analog and digital optoelectronic sensors combine an LED and an optoelectronic integrated circuit in a compact package to enable optical encoders to provide absolute or incremental position detection ...

When US Digital introduced the E4T, a new, miniaturized optical encoder, the assemblers who processed components during production faced difficulties. Previous methods that worked perfectly for larger ...

The idea of optical computing—the use of photons instead of electrons to perform computational operations—has been around for decades. However, interest has resurged in recent years; the potential for ...

Rotary encoders sense changes in the position of a rotating shaft, then generate signals that send speed, direction, and position information to a receiving device such as a counter, drive, or ...
