Optical Axis $79.66 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles An optical axis is a line along which there is some degree of rotational symmetry in an optical system such as a camera lens or microscope. The optical axis is an imaginary line that defines the path along which light propagates through the system. For a system composed of simple lenses and mirrors, the axis passes through the center of curvature of each surface, and coincides with the axis of rotational symmetry. The optical axis is often coincident with the systems mechanical axis, but not always, as in the case of offaxis optical systems. For an optical fiber, the optical axis is along the center of the fiber core, and is also known as the fiber axis. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Tennoe, Mariam T./ Henssonow, Susan F.

A Biologically Inspired Optical Flow System $105.14 Optical flow is possibly the most used method for motion segmentation. However its application is often restricted to offline processing as it requires extensive computational resources and time. In this work, we explore an optical flow method derived from research on the vision system of diptereous insects. The proposed method, Biological Optical Flow (BioOF) was implemented using a series of filters, and therefore is much faster than any existing machinecoded optical flow algorithm. Like other optical flow methods, the output of the BioOF has two components: horizontal and vertical optical flows both of them are combined in order to get a better final result in terms of motion segmentation. The result is a framework that can extract an excellent contour of the moving objects segmented out from the images. Finally the object contour is projected onto a Fourier feature space, leading to a representation of the object that is rotational and translational invariant. Over the Fourier feature space, various classification algorithms are investigated for object recognition.

Optical Communication $76.47 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Optical communication is any form of telecommunication that uses light as the transmission medium. An optical communication system consists of a transmitter, which encodes a message into an optical signal, a channel, which carries the signal to its destination, and a receiver, which reproduces the message from the received optical signal. There are many forms of nontechnological optical communication, including body language and sign language. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Timpledon, Miriam T./ Marseken, Susan F.

Miniaturization of the Ion Trap Mass Spectrometer $103.56 The development of miniature ion trap mass spectrometers has been an active area, fueled by the promising analytical capabilities and the convenience of fast in situ analysis. The objective is to miniaturize mass spectrometers in weight, size, and power consumption while retaining the analytical capabilities of mass spectrometry at the same time. The book focuses on the instrumentation of miniature ion trap mass spectrometers, including ionization, ion transfer, mass analyzer, ion detection and related vacuum and electronic techniques. Two miniature mass spectrometers, a 10 kg Mini 10 with electron impact ionization source, developed in 2005 and a 5 kg Mini 11 with multiple ionization sources, developed in 2008, are introduced. The technical details of key components are discussed. Special focus is given to a glow discharge electron impact ionization source, which is an ideal substitute for the filament electron source used in the electron impact ionization, and a discontinuous atmospheric pressure interface, which enables the implementation of atmospheric pressure ionization sources in miniature ion trap mas spectrometers with limited pumping capabilities.

Do I need to buy a RIP when I buy an HP Designjet Z6100 printer?

A raster image processor (RIP) is a component used in a printing system which produces a raster image also known as a bitmap the most common of which is TIFF (.tif), BMP (.bmp), PICT (.pct), GIF (.gif), JPEG (.jpg). There are others as well typically Photoshop's native PSD format that supports bitmaps, text and vector layers. The bitmap is then sent to a printing device for output. The input may be a page description in a high-level page description language such as PostScript, Portable Document Format, XPS or another bitmap of higher or lower resolution than the output device. In the latter case, the RIP applies either smoothing or interpolation algorithms to the input bitmap to generate the output bitmap.

Raster image processing is the process and the means of turning vector digital information such as a PostScript file into a high-resolution raster image. Every image that exists in a digital electronic format is made of picture elements. At some point, all such digital image data, whether expressed as vector format data or bitmap format data, must be rendered into pixels for display on a monitor or for printing on a printer. All images, therefore, have pixels as their base. Rendering, or translating the digital data into physical output, is the most important part of realising such images. The term raster image processing (RIP) refers to the process of translating digital image data into physical visual images and graphics. The software RIP interpretes the page description languages and digital image data and translates the representation into a continuous tone bitmap. It then applies frequency and amplitude modulation precisely controlled by sophisticated mathematical algorithms producing the information that is required for the output device to function properly.

When we want to print an advertising poster the best results are achieved incorporating both vector and bitmap graphics. A combination of

• Photographs - lots of colours, fixed/finite size from a digital camera. These files will be bitmaps, probably .tif or .jpg files and large size to achieve the required resolution. Photos just can't be easily represented as a vector graphic.
• Company logo and some simple illustrations that will be small-sized files that will print smoothly at any resolution. The files use simple, non-photorealistic colours, and we may want to edit them a bit to serve our needs. These files should be bitmaps - probably .EPS files for use in other programs.
• We will also use some fonts, which are basically vector files.
• The logos, illustration files and the text files are going to be small vector files and they will scale infinitely to allow us to print a billboard size and the edges will remain razor sharp.

Once we have these files collected, we need a program that can work with both bitmaps and vector graphics. Photoshop, by far the most popular page layout tool, is adept at handling both bitmap and vector graphics. Regardless of the program, the vector and bitmap elements get integrated into one work, possibly a Photoshop PSD file or Portable Document Format.

Every PostScript printer contains a RIP in its firmware.
Large design offices and print service providers often use an independent RIP that can cost many thousands of pounds. In some cases these RIP solutions perform additional functions alone or in conjunction with dedicated software including queuing print jobs, batch processing, imposition, trapping, colour separations, and halftone screening. The RIP software may include additional pre-flight functions such as checking for missing fonts or graphics prior to processing.
