LIDAR
type: Class
subclass of: Instrument
comment: LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) is an optical remote sensing technology that measures properties of scattered light to find range and/or other information of a distant target. The prevalent method to determine distance to an object or surface is to use laser pulses. Like the similar radar technology, which uses radio waves instead of light, the range to an object is determined by measuring the time delay between transmission of a pulse and detection of the reflected signal. LIDAR technology has application in archaeology, geography, geology, geomorphology, seismology, remote sensing and atmospheric physics.

Telethermometer
type: Class
subclass of: Thermometer
comment: A temperature-measuring system in which the thermally sensitive element is located at a distance from the indicating element.
