Laser Imaging With A Holographically Produced Lens, Eric Schwartz

Theses

A process is outlined by which a hologram has been produced for use as an imaging device in a laser machining apparatus. Such a hologram has been termed a hololens. The hololens was initially produced by recording the interference between a coherent plane reference wave and an object wave which was produced by passing a plane wave through a transparency. The recording film was positioned at Brewster's angle and the laser light was polarized normal to the surface of the glass plate substrate in order to reduce optical noise caused by interference between the recording beams and their reflections. This …

A Proposal For Developing Visual Literacy In The Secondary School, Joy L. Roberts

Theses

This paper proposes a comprehensive curriculum for developing visual literacy in secondary schools through the study and production of film. The author argues that contemporary students live in a media-saturated environment yet often lack the skills to critically interpret or respond to visual stimuli, resulting in a form of "cultural deprivation". The proposed program aims to remedy this by teaching students to perceive, analyze, and create visual messages, thereby enhancing their overall communication skills and self-awareness.

The study begins by establishing a rationale for film study, contrasting it with traditional literature. While acknowledging differences—such as literature’s verbal nature versus film’s …

Thermalhardening Offset Lithographic Printing Plate, Eric Leonard

Theses

Offset lithographic printing plates, until several years ago, used incoherent light sources for image creation in light sensitive coatings. These light sources are primarily in the ultraviolet light region. Image creation, using an incoherent light source, requires either a film negative or positive and long exposure times. Exposure time is dependent on the sensitivity of the light sensitive coating and the light intensity. In recent years both equipment and plate suppliers have been working to develop offset lithographic printing plates which use coherent laser light for image creation. To date all recorded developments have worked on light hardening image creation …

An Investigation Into The Effects Of Gloss And Smoothness On Legibility, Donald Perlman

Theses

This study on legibility takes a different approach than the studies that precede it. Standardized test targets (ISO Characters) were used as the measurement device instead of the various means used previously. This was done to keep the test more objective. Twelve papers of different gloss and smoothness values were tested with two groups--college students and senior citizens. These experiments were done under controlled conditions with the only variable being the paper. The average results from the legibility readings were correlated against the physical properties of the paper samples. The results of this study showed a 2 and 4% correlation …

Infrared In-Process Densitometer, Miroslav Piskacek

Theses

The development chamber for an infrared, in-process densitometer, which will monitor and display a characteristic curve of a standard sensitometric strip during development, was designed. The monitoring radiation is to be emitted by a sequentially pulsed array of IR diodes (RCA SG1009A) and detected by an array of solid state detectors (UDT-450 Photodiode/Amplifier combination). The output of the detectors, corresponding to IR transmission, is to be scanned, electronically converted into density, and displayed. Electronic scanning assures that processes with subminute total development time can be monitored. Optical losses of the system were estimated, and a model of the optical system …

Direct Measurement Of The Optical Modulation Transfer Function Of Non-Developed Emulsions, Glen Elie

Theses

A new procedure for measuring the MTF of non-developed emulsions is discussed, which uses a coherent energy source and interference system to produce sinusoidal fringes on a film sample. The transmitted light is projected onto the scanning slit of a photomultiplier, and its variations registered on a chart recorder. Measurements are taken directly from the traces of the irradiance distribution to calculate the optical part of the MTF of the sample. This system does not require development of the film, and is therefore free of the non-linearities inherent in traditional test methods. Results are obtained for Kodak Panatomic-X, Kodak High …

Growth Patterns Of Bacteria In Pressurized Sewage, Dennis Mazzei

Theses

Primary sewage was pressurized at 100 psi for one hour. The effects of this pressure on the growth patterns of general and nitrifying bacteria were examined daily for eighteen consecutive days using Standard Plate Counts and Most Probable Number (MPN) estimates. In conjunction with these tests, the degree of biodegradability was also determined by measuring both daily biochemical oxygen demands (BOD's) and dissolved oxygen levels.

Graphical analysis of experimental data compare the BOD's exterted [sic] by microorganisms to their respective numbers of colonies as determined by plate counts of both pressurized and non-pressurized sanitary sewage diluted to 3. 00%. The …

Ecuador And A Business Opportunity, Cesar Arturo Paredes Roldan

Theses

As a result of its recent status as a petroleum exporting country, Ecuador is enjoying an economic boom, which is expected to lead to the formation of new enterprises, the creation of jobs, the utilization of human and natural resources and the encouragement of harmonious development of the national economy.

This thesis is based on the belief that the private sector must assume a decisive role in the adequate implementation of Ecuador's industrial development programs, and it aims to show the feasibility of establishing there an enterprise that would manufacture domestic electric irons.

The coverage of the subject comprises three …

Image Intensification By Superimposed Vesicular Images Generated By Decomposition Of Hydrogen Peroxide, William Grabenstetter

Theses

In the late 1960's, Weyde discovered that treating conventionally processed silver halide films with hydrogen peroxide led to intensified densities by the superimposition of vesicles at the silver image sites. This project attempted to reproduce the results of 5° - 10°DIN speed increase and excellent sharpness mentioned in the patents issued to Weyde. Using the patents as a reference, a paste of urea hydrogen peroxide and PEG was examined as an image intensifier, with no success. Alternate binders suggested in the patents were then examined, Triton X-405 proving to be the best. A paste of 4g. urea hydrogen peroxide in …

Copper Physical Development Of Copper Latent Images, Gregg Tashker, Peter Schreiber

Theses

Copper physical development of copper latent images was researched. The proposed method for producing copper latent images was to soak a titanium dioxide in a copper (II) sulfate nucleating bath and expose to UV radiation below 4l0nm. The exposures were to produce the copper latent image. Three physical developers were used to try to intensify the latent images. The developers utilize an iron (II)/iron (III) redox system to reduce copper (II) sulfate to copper metal. The developers also contain carboxylic acids as complexing agents for iron (III) ions and cationic surfactants for stability. The printout achieved was not stable and …

Mtf And Adjacency Effects Of Vesicular Film, Timothy Sewell, Paul Willig

Theses

The Modulation Transfer Function and adjacency effects are important measurements of a photographic material. For vesicular film it is of interest to investigate the MTF and adjacency effects with relation to the three variable parameters, development temperature, exposure and development time. This investigation clearly shows that adjacency effects do occur in vesicular film, and that exposure and development temperature are important factors in determinating the film MTF.

A Study Of The Effect On Direct Stencil Edge Definition Of Emulsion Thickness, Screen Mesh Count, Fabric Thread Thickness And Coater Blade Thickness, George Bedirian

Theses

The present study arose out of a desire to test the assumption that in order to obtain direct stencils with good edge definition, one either had to use fine screens or. If using a relatively coarse screen, apply multiple coatings of emulsion to the screen before making the stencil. Neither alternative seemed satisfactory, since the first did not allow optimal use of the scope of screens available, and the second entailed an expenditure of time and supplies that could possibly be shown to be unnecessary. It was therefore determined to carry on an experiment that would show whether direct stencils …
