Arc Second To Unveil Indoor GPS for Metrology at CMSC.Business Editors/Hi-Tech Writers Constellation 3Di Offers Alternative to Laser Trackers, Videogrammetry and Measurement Arms for Measuring, Inspecting, Modeling and Tracking Arc Second, Inc., the leading provider of 3D-Intelligence products, today announced that it is unveiling Constellation 3Di at the Coordinate Measurement Systems Committee (CMSC CMSC Consortium of Multiple Sclerosis Centers CMSC Chicago Metropolitan Ski Council CMSC Certified Medical Staff Coordinator CMSC Computer Memory Security Check CMSC California Mine and Safety Code CMSC Communication Mode Selector Control CMSC Changan Mazda Motor Sales Co. ) 2002 Conference which will be held at the Providence-Warwick Hotel in Warwick, RI from July 15 to July 19. Constellation 3Di, which was developed utilizing Arc Second's proprietary 3D-Intelligence technology, is the first proven indoor GPS system with the accuracy, reliability, and utility to support large scale metrology. Using signals from transmitters that emit infrared light Noun 1. infrared light - electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths longer than visible light but shorter than radio waves infrared emission, infrared radiation, infrared , small receivers can calculate xyz coordinates independently. Therefore, like GPS, the number of receivers in a single workspace is unlimited. Uses include the measurement and inspection of large tooling, sub-assemblies and infrastructure in the aerospace, automotive, rail, and shipbuilding industries. Constellation 3Di is providing facility owners, metrologists, toolmakers and other users of accurate coordinate data with unparalleled flexibility in collecting critical metrology data. "The ability to monitor hundreds of points simultaneously and economically, while not compromising accuracy, will become critical if factory wide positioning systems are to become a reality," noted Edward Barrientos, President and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of Arc Second. "In the 1990s, GPS based measurement solutions radically changed the optical surveying instrument market. Today, Constellation 3Di promises to equally disrupt the portable coordinate measurement market by offering users a powerful new value proposition for their metrology related outlays." Arc Second will be demonstrating the Constellation 3Di system during the entire CMSC 2002 Conference. Additionally, Thomas Hedges, Vice President of Engineering and Technology for Arc Second, is scheduled to present a paper titled "Constellation 3Di : Indoor GPS for Metrology" which will introduce the technology, its error sources, and its applicability to indoor metrology problems.
