The treasures that lie beyond the doors of the Mariners’ Museum in Newport News, Virginia, are sure to capture the heart of any history buff. The museum is filled to the crow’s nest with prized artifacts that celebrate the spirit of seafaring adventure. Visitors from around the world experience over 60,000 square feet of gallery space filled Civil War ironclad USS Monitor artifacts and archives, paintings, small craft with rare figureheads, handcrafted ship models and much more. Perched on a 550-acre woodland park, the museum was recently the center of a major data acquisition effort to capture and digitally preserve a key artifact retrieved from the shipwrecked USS Monitor. more

The research engineering team at Caterpillar came up with a set of requirements for the system that would capture a D9 bulldozer's track-in-motion data as well as other relevant 3D coordinate data derived from the bulldozer's surface and movement. This technology played a crucial role in measuring simultaneous forces exerted on the bulldozer track shoe, and, at the same time, measuring simultaneous displacement (position and angle) of the track shoe to the ground. more

The European organisation for nuclear research, CERN, is the world’s largest particle physics centre. Based near Geneva, the laboratory was founded in 1954 as one of Europe’s first joint ventures, and has grown over the years into a foremost example of international scientific collaboration, now bringing together 20 member countries. European particle physics laboratory CERN uses Leica Geosystems’ state-of-the-art laser tracker system to measure key components of the world’s largest-ever particle accelerator. more

The Advanced Photon Source (APS) sounds like something right out of a Star Trek episode. But in fact, the APS is a third-generation synchrotron-radiation light source research facility, and plays a significant role
in the world of groundbreaking research. There are only three such light sources in the world, and this one is located at Argonne National Laboratory, which is operated by the University of Chicago for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). more
