PI (Physik Instrumente) LP
This white paper from PI explains when it is useful and necessary to use a safety device, how a safety light barrier (or light curtain) works, how the risk assessment for hexapods is carried out, and how the safety device can quickly be integrated in the controller environment.

Allied Vision
The human visual system maps “white” colors to the sensation of white. When an image is captured by a digital camera, the sensor response at each pixel depends on the illumination. This application note discusses the use and calibration of white balance, specifically for Allied Vision GigE cameras.
