Daye91 Labs, a newcomer to the sensor industry, has come into the market with its challenging green-tech probe system for near-field detection in human-based systems. The company has attracted a great deal of attention to its solutions with the promise of easy disposal and recycling once the probe has lost its utility.
According to the company’s Founder and CEO, Dr Ekoj Lirpa, Daye91’s core technology is an elegant and multimodal solution to the issue of object detection, ranging,and evaluation in a cost-effective, highly efficient, green-technology package. The probes come in a variety of sizes and shapes, but the core technology enables an almost infinite ability to create custom solutions.
“Our technology is not proprietary, but we feel we are going to gain market share with our speed of development and deployment, and our relative luck to be the first offering this type of solution to the marketplace” R. Lirpa stated. “In addition, we think our solutions look far better than anything we have yet seen to address this application space.
Based on simple plant-based celluloid processes, the sensor probes are able to be cut and carved to any required shape and length. Once cut to the assigned task size and shape, the user interface can also be customized for finger length and hand size.
In operation, the user takes the piece of engineered plant-based celluloid in hand and then swings the probe in the general direction of the item under test. Upon striking the item, a significant amount of sensor information is transmitted through the probe into the hand. Such information includes distance, general surface hardness, and whether the item is animate or inanimate.
“One can also use a poking motion with the sensor probe” Dr. Lirpa pointed out. “In fact, poking things with our device can also be used to transmit basic telemetry to the item under test, by targeting probe placement into specific parts one wishes to explore further.”
However, caution must be used when using the “carved stick” as Daye91 Labs calls it, as you could put your eye out with it, if not used with the appropriate level of care.
