In 1884, Edward Livingston Trudeau officially opened The Adirondack Cottage Sanitarium for the treatment of tuberculosis in Saranac Lake, New York. For the next seventy years, what became known as the Trudeau Sanatorium was the model of American sanatoria, promoting fresh air, rest, and nutritious food in the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis. The introduction and use of antibiotic drugs in the treatment of disease effectively ended the sanatorium movement as well as demarcates an important juncture in American medical and scientific history. Trudeau's treatment and the Sanatorium are interpreted as social and ideological constructs from the perspectives of verbal expression, …

The world of optoelectronics merges diverse fields, such as physics, optics, electronics, chemistry, and material science. It leads to more advanced and efficient applications by exploiting the properties of light, which is typically a more effective data and energy transfer medium than electron flow. A couple of well-known applications are the optical imagers and sensors used for cameras, scanners, and barcode readers. The two prominent image sensor types are Complimentary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) image sensors and Charge Coupled Devices (CCDs). While CMOS sensors have traditionally performed well in new applications, such as Personal Computer (PC) cameras (where CCDs were …
