One untested hypothesis in oil spill response is that "chemical dispersants do not work effectively in cold water. "This is due to the general misconception that cold water inhibits dispersant effectiveness(DE) and the lack of experimental data to indicate otherwise. To address this issue, the U. S. Minerals Management Service(MMS)... conducted two series of dispersant experiments in very cold water at Ohmsett... [Both] Corexit 9500 and Corexit 9527 dispersants were more than 90% effective in dispersing the fresh and weathered crude oils tested [and dispelled] the thought that chemical dispersants cannot be effective in cold water. 2, record 1, English, - dispersant%20effectiveness

The Vision Skin sensor is designed to do accurate range sensing and close range imaging in approximately the 1 cm distance range. It utilizes an array of collimated holes as individual parallel pin-hole cameras to perform close range lens-less imaging. When a laser diode is added to the system, triangulation is used to determine the distance of the surface. The sensor can switch between imaging mode and range mode simply with software and lighting mode. 2, record 4, English, - vision%20skin%20sensor
