Alrad Imaging, stand C22 Experts from Alrad Imaging will be on hand at its booth to discuss the new Advision 5000 Series of machine vision development kits for embedded vision, artificial intelligence and deep learning applications, which has been produced in partnership with The Imaging Source and Nvidia. The kits are designed for use in industry, R&D and education, enabling users to develop embedded applications immediately with pre-built images and layers for the supported platforms. They support the new MIPI CSI-2 and FPD-Link III Modules from The Imaging Source, and consist of a MIPI CSI-2 camera board with

his year’s Photonex will feature a significant focus on quantum technologies. The exhibition will contain a special zone where visitors can meet university groups and spin-out companies who will be demonstrating their latest work. They will be keen to use their expertise to discuss new projects and contracts with industry and government sector visitors. There will be two significant meetings
supporting the commercialisation of quantum technologies, including The Quantum Photonics Revolution (on Wednesday) and Cold Atoms for Quantum Technologies (Thursday). The latter keynote speaker, Dr Christian
Schubert, of Leibniz Universität Hannover, Germany, will give a presentation on ‘Bose- Einstein condensates for interferometry in space’.
He will introduce atom interferometry which enables absolute measurements of rotations, accelerations and related quantities. The QUANTUS/MAIUS

the atoms in these conditions for enhancing the scale factor requires atomic ensembles with low residual expansion rates, as provided by delta-kick collimated Bose- Einstein condensates. Based on heritage from drop tower experiments, the sounding rocket mission MAIUS-1 enabled the successful creation of the first Bose-Einstein condensate in space. Partnering with the event is SPIE,
the international society for optics and photonics, which has agreed to purchase Xmark Media, including Photonex Europe, Photonex Scotland, Photonex London, and Vacuum Expo. Visit the SPIE team, stand number C03, at the event to discuss ideas you have for quantum technologies, photonics, optical technologies and vacuum technologies at the event in 2020.
an M12 format lens, as well as serialiser and deserialiser boards and a 1m compact coaxial cable for the FPD-Link. This is supplied together with an Nvidia Jetson Nano GPU processing board with 32GB SD memory. For applications where longer cable lengths are required between the camera head and GPU processing unit, such as when placing imaging at the end of robot arms, FPD-Link III will enable the use of a compact coaxial cable with up to 15m length that provides simultaneous data transmission, control channels and power.
