모기들을 죽인다는..

The device works by using infra-red light-emitting diode (LED) lamps on a fence post to create a field of light. This field of light reflects from retroreflectivematerial on another fence post, much like that used on roads and highway signs, and bounces back to its source.^[2] This field of light is monitored bycharge-coupled devices (CCDs) similar to the ones used in consumer digital cameras.^[10] These cameras are situated on both fence posts and detect shadows in the light between the posts. Once an insect is detected, a non-lethal laser is fired at it. This non-lethal laser is used to determine the size of the insect, and the frequency at which its wings are beating.

모기를 죽일 장소에 적외선LED를 설치한다.

그 장소 위에 모기가 있다면

빛이 반사될 것이다.

반사광을 카메라를 이용하여 캐치한다.

일단 모기의 위치를 잡았다면

위험하지 않은 레이저를 이용하여 모기에게 쏘아본다.

(타겟의 크기와, 날갯짓의 진동수를 알기 위해)

( 아무래도 레이저와 카메라가 완벽한 동축이 아니기 때문에 좌표보상이 필요할텐데 이부분에 대해서는 설명하고 있지 않다. 아마 2대의 스테레오 카메라를 사용하는듯)

The information gathered by the non-lethal laser can be used to determine the type of insect, and even its gender because wing beat patterns are unique to each species and gender. This is important in preventing malaria because only female mosquitoes bite humans.^[2] Also, only mosquitoes of the genusAnopheles carry the malaria-causing parasite of the genus plasmodium.^[11] All of these determining calculations are done using a custom image processing board^[8] using software written specifically for this application. Once the software confirms that the insect is of the targeted species and gender, a safety check makes sure that nothing is in the way of the laser and the mosquito. Once this safety check is completed, the lethal laser is given permission to shoot.

The lethal laser could be one of several low-power consumer lasers, but blue lasers, similar to the ones found in Blu-ray players, are thought to have great potential. Blue lasers are preferable as higher powered ones are more available than red, and cheaper due to them being used in the Blu-ray industry.^[10] The lethal laser is fired at the mosquito and is able to kill it mid-flight. The exact reason for the mosquito’s death is unknown^{[citation needed]}, but it is likely that the mosquito simply overheats and dies.^[2] In a video published by Intellectual Ventures, the mosquito's wings appear to wither, shrivel up and the body drops to the floor, often motionless.^[12] Jordin Kare has published instructions on how to build a DIY photonic fence.^[13] Eric Johanson published information about the history of the device and how the system works in Make Magazine Issue 23.^[8]
