A while back, I wrote about an exciting new family of high-performance image sensors that is based on our most advanced CCD technology – the TRUESENSE 7.4-micron Interline Transfer CCD Portfolio.  Leveraging technology originally developed for our 5.5 micron family of products, these devices provide a higher level of performance compared to their “little brothers”. 

While there may be No Place Like Home for the Holidays, we’ve been working to bring a little bit of the holidays into our work at Truesense Imaging.  

Sometimes, being good just isn’t good enough.  Even if a sports team is winning all of their games, the coach still schedules extra practices so they can play even better.  Race car drivers always seem to need more speed, parents definitely need more time, and Tim Taylor wants “more power.” And Breathless Mahoney? She just wants – More. 

It’s been just over two weeks since NASA's Mars Science Laboratory rover Curiosity survived its 7 minutes of terror to land on Mars. And now that the first images are being sent back from the rover, it’s exciting to see the great image quality coming from the scientific cameras on the rover that all use KAI-2020 Image Sensors from Truesense Imaging.

Is getting there really half the fun?

Remember the film Dr. No?  There are so many great parts to this movie – the classic introduction to the character (someday I’m going to learn how to play Baccarat and hope someone asks me my name), one of the best music themes ever, and a great cast (although I always find myself expecting Jack Lord to say “Book ‘em, James” just before the closing credits).  But one of my favorite parts comes toward the end of the movie when Dr. No is trying to complete his evil plot.  While everything on the set starts blowing up, one of Dr. No’s henchmen sits calmly at his control panel, counting down the time until the Project Mercury launch that Dr. No is trying to stop.

Now that Truesense Imaging is established as independent company, there are all sorts of changes underway. Not changes to our products – they haven’t changed one bit, and still provide the high level of performance and quality that have made us an imaging leader around the world. And not changes to our people or manufacturing processes, either – we’re really the same business we were before, but now just with a new name.
