The Low Energy Anti-Proton Ring (LEAR) was a particle accelerator at CERN which operated from 1982 until 1996. [1] The ring was designed to decelerate and store antiprotons , to study the properties of antimatter and to create atoms of antihydrogen . [ 2 ]
The first electronic nose was created by W. F. Wilkens and J. D. Hartman in 1964. [9] Larcome and Halsall discussed the use of robots for odor sensing in the nuclear industry in the early 1980s, [ 10 ] and research on odor localization was started in the early 1990s.
A magnetic chip detector is an electronic instrument that attracts ferromagnetic particles (mostly iron chips). It is mainly used in aircraft engine oil and helicopter gearbox chip detection systems. Chip detectors can provide an early warning of an impending engine failure and thus greatly reduce the cost of an engine overhaul.
The Tevatron (background circle), a synchrotron collider type particle accelerator at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab), Batavia, Illinois, USA. Shut down in 2011, until 2007 it was the most powerful particle accelerator in the world, accelerating protons to an energy of over 1 TeV (tera electron volts).
RIVA is an acronym for Real-time Interactive Video and Animation accelerator. [1] The "TNT" suffix refers to the chip's ability to work on two texels at once (TwiN Texel). [2] The first graphics card that was based on the RIVA TNT chip was the Velocity 4400, released by STB Systems on June 15, 1998.
In 1987, the ARGUS detector at the DORIS storage ring was the first experiment to observe the conversion of a B meson into its antiparticle, the anti-B meson. The Hamburg Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory HASYLAB was commissioned in 1980 to use synchrotron radiation, which was generated at DORIS as a byproduct, for research. While DORIS was only ...

The front hemisphere of the OSF is visible above the nose cone, beside the refuelling probe. The Optronique Secteur Frontal (OSF) is a long-range optoelectronics system, developed for the French Dassault Rafale combat aircraft. It allows target tracking through IRST (infrared search and track) and visual sensors:
