The Effect Of The Relief Plate Shoulder Angle On Flexographic Dot Gain, Bruce Brier Sep 1986

The Effect Of The Relief Plate Shoulder Angle On Flexographic Dot Gain, Bruce Brier

Theses

The mechanism of image-formation in photopolymer flexographic relief printing plates is reviewed. In addition to the identified factors, it was hypothesized that the level of exposure could influence the plate shoulder angle. It was further hypothesized that an optimization of shoulder angle with respect to halftone dot area may reduce the dot gain of the printing process. An experiment was conducted using a novel method of plate exposure. Continuous-tone masks were placed in contact with the plate back and the halftone negative used on the plate face. The resulting shoulder angles were measured and analyzed for significant fit to a …

Measurement Of The Spectral And Spatial Responses Of The Human Eye's Blue Sensitive System And The Effects Of Lateral Inhibition By The Red And Green Sensitive Systems, Paul Berg Sep 1986

Measurement Of The Spectral And Spatial Responses Of The Human Eye's Blue Sensitive System And The Effects Of Lateral Inhibition By The Red And Green Sensitive Systems, Paul Berg

Theses

A study was conducted to measure the change in spatial modulation sensitivity of the human eye's blue sensitive system at low light levels due to color shift, intensity change, and accommodation of red and green sensitive systems with yellow light. A testing device was designed which allowed a wide range of variation in viewing conditions for targets of several spatial frequencies. IV Results indicate that the ability to resolve gratings by the blue cones is depressed by lowering grating intensities but does not depend on wavelength within the blue cone sensitivity envelope to any extent greater than that explained by …


Mythography, Christopher Losee Sep 1986

Mythography, Christopher Losee

Theses

Although it was written over a year before this section, the thesis proposal which appends this report still serves as a good introduction to my ideas on myth in general , and in particular to my way of thinking when I began this inquiry into the photographic representation of myth. In exploring the visual and artistic dimensions of myth, I found that my thoughts and feelings on the subject changed vastly as the work progressed; however, the end result of this process of exploration has led me back to the beginnings of the work and allowed me, as T,S. Eliot …


A Study On The Relationship Of Dark Reaction Of Diazo And Photopolymer Presensitized, Negative Working, Lithographic Plates With Temperature Relative Humidity, And Time, Kannan Adityan Sep 1986

A Study On The Relationship Of Dark Reaction Of Diazo And Photopolymer Presensitized, Negative Working, Lithographic Plates With Temperature Relative Humidity, And Time, Kannan Adityan

Theses

Dark reaction is a condition in which the plate acts as if it is exposed to a low level of active light, even though it is being stored in the dark. The Stouffer scale or the sensitivity guide is used to measure this dark reaction which takes place also as a result of high temperature and relative humidity. If there is much dark reaction taking place, more solid steps will show up on a negative working plate. For the purpose of this experiment diazo and photopolymer presensitised, negative working, lithographic plates were chosen. These plates were cut into small sections …


An Investigation Of The Applicability Of Walker And Fetsko Ink Transfer Equation On And The Influence Of Ink Viscosity On Heat Set Ink Used On The Web Offset Process, Dein Wang Sep 1986

An Investigation Of The Applicability Of Walker And Fetsko Ink Transfer Equation On And The Influence Of Ink Viscosity On Heat Set Ink Used On The Web Offset Process, Dein Wang

Theses

The Walker and Fetsko ink transfer equation is the most used ink transfer equation to predict the ink and paper behavior on the ink transfer step in the printing process. All previous studies have shown that this equation is mostly applicable in the three major printing processes, letterpress, lithography and gravure. A study by Schaeffer, Fisch and Zettlemoyer reported extensive measurements for several oil-base ink and paper combination over a range of proof-press printing conditions. Yuri Bery did a series of studies for modifying the Walker and Fetsko equation in gravure inks for Weyerhaeuser Company. All the studies showed that …


Mwterm: A Macintosh Based Multiple-Window Unix Workstation, Deshler Armstrong Jr Aug 1986

Mwterm: A Macintosh Based Multiple-Window Unix Workstation, Deshler Armstrong Jr

Theses

MWTerm is a terminal emulator that runs on an Apple Macintosh computer. It provides a multiple window interface in which each window maps to a independent process on the host computer. It is designed to run in conjunction with a cooperating program on the host computer, under the Unix operating system. This paper describes the ideas behind the user interface presented by MWTerm. The implementation of both the Macintosh and the Unix ends is described. A discussion of the lessons learned and future enhancements is provided.

A Multiprocessor Distributed Debugger, David Blackman Aug 1986

A Multiprocessor Distributed Debugger, David Blackman

Theses

This thesis presents the design and implementation of a distributed debugger. The debugger was designed to support the debugging of a system containing multiple processors from a single debug console. The debugger implementation consists of host software which runs on a VAX minicomputer and target software which runs on Intel SDK-86 single board computers. The host and targets communicate using an RS-232 channel. The debugger supports breakpoints, disassembly of target code, symbolic reference of program procedures and variables, and download of Intel Object Module Format binary files.


Combined Query Language (Cql): An Interactive Query Language With Procedural Features, Ilia Levi Aug 1986

Combined Query Language (Cql): An Interactive Query Language With Procedural Features, Ilia Levi

Theses

Interactive query languages provide easy to use interfaces to database systems. However, they lack the power of the host languages to perform manipulations on data. This thesis presents an interactive query language Combined Query Language (CQL) that has some features of procedural languages. CQL allows users to interactively manipulate databases and perform calculations on data. CQL is a self contained interactive query language that combines the computational power of a host language (like FORTRAN) with the convenience and flexibility of the common interactive query languages. Users of CQL would not have to use a host language for most of the …

A Study Of The Xerox Xns Filing Protocol As Implemented On Several Heterogenous Systems, Edward Flint Aug 1986

A Study Of The Xerox Xns Filing Protocol As Implemented On Several Heterogenous Systems, Edward Flint

Theses

The Xerox Network System is composed of heterogeneous processors connected across a variety of transmission media A series of protocols is defined to describe the communication mechanisms between system elements. One of these protocols, the Filing Protocol, defines a general purpose file management system. Current implementations of the protocol, although derived from the Xerox specification, fall short of providing the interconnectivity between elements desired in a heterogeneous network system. The definition of an easily implemented protocol subset that provides the common file system functions of retrieval, storage, enumeration/location and deletion is derived from experiences with several implementations. This definition and …

Linkage Kinematics Sketchpad, Michael St. Jacques Jul 1986

Linkage Kinematics Sketchpad, Michael St. Jacques

Theses

During the design and creation of linkage-type mechanisms, visualization of linkage motion is extremely important. However, there does not appear to be a commercially available computer package for accomplishing visualization interactively. Most linkage design packages allow animation of linkage motion only after tedious part description (and debug) using cryptic input codes. The main thrust of this work has been the development of a prototype interactive graphics (CAD) system aimed at visualizing the motion and mobility of linkage-type mechanisms. The program is called the Linkage Kinematics Sketchpad (LKSP). It is a 2-D color graphics program which allows the user to describe …

Synthesis And Characterization Of Copoly (Amide-Imide-Sulfonamides), Stephen C. Liptak Jun 1986

Synthesis And Characterization Of Copoly (Amide-Imide-Sulfonamides), Stephen C. Liptak

Theses

Commercially available aromatic diamines such as 4,4'-oxydianiline and 4,4'-methylenedianiline were treated with N-acetamidobenzenesulfonyl chloride to give the amino-sulfonamido-acetanilide derivatives. These derivatives were treated with 6M hydrochloric acid to give the demine monomers containing a preformed sulfonamide linkage. These monomers were polymerized with various bisimide diacids using the Yamazaki reaction. Polymerizations involving a low temperature solution technique were also investigated. The polymers obtained were characterized using infrared spectroscopy, thermal gravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, and dilute solution viscosity. Inherent viscosities of the prepared polymers ranged from 0.08 to 0.54 dL/gm. In spite of low inherent viscosities, the polymers had film forming …
