Why hand grinding and polishing? In a world of CNC machines, 3D shaping printers and mills, why would anyone need to work by hand? Advanced technologies require inflexible fixturing. Working by hand means your fingers become those fixtures. Intuitio...Loe edasi...
In the early years of a career, scientists face challenging decisions on how best to communicate their results in publications and at conferences. The impact of such decisions can prove career-defining. In this book, the reader is carefully taken th...Loe edasi...
This book introduces engineering students and practitioners to the tools and insights for pursuing first-order system design in the areas of imaging, lidar, LADAR, and communications. Todays gig employment philosophy requires the hired engineer to...Loe edasi...
Zhao and Phang offer some rough ideas about the versatility of smartphones in physics laboratories for education, as a guide for science teachers who want to incorporate these kinds of labs into their classrooms or outside activities, as an inspi...Loe edasi...
The material presented in this handbook is an introduction to help non-specialists in speckle techniques understand the basic principles of speckle interferometry. The book is mainly oriented to the use of speckle patterns with direct phase-measurin...Loe edasi...
Physicists Rehn and Muschaweck, who work in optical design, offer a guide to the design of illumination optics, focusing on homogeneous, isotropic, and linear materials and excluding gradient index materials, birefringence, and nonlinear optics....Loe edasi...
This second edition introduces the theory and applications of Modulation Transfer Function (MTF), used to specify the image quality achieved by an imaging system. It starts with the relationship between impulse response and transfer function, and th...Loe edasi...
Drawing from a wide array of fields, ONeill discusses the discrimination of buried unexploded ordinance, that is determining whether signals from detection efforts correspond to unexploded ordinance. This being an introductory text, he focuses on wh...Loe edasi...
This guide to creating automatic target recognition (ATR) systems for military applications can be used for self-study or in the classroom. It begins with definitions and performance measures, then covers target detection strategies, target class...Loe edasi...
Combining the literature and his own experience with optical dimensional metrology, Harding offers practical advice on how to select and use different techniques to measure various dimensions of optics. He begins with basic, working explanations...Loe edasi...
An automatic target recognizer is a real-time or near-real-time image/signal understanding system, says Schachter. It responds to a stream of data with a list of the targets it has detected and recognized in the data. He describes some of the bas...Loe edasi...
Hamblin and other medical professionals set out the principles and practices of the medical therapy formerly known as low-level laser therapy and now called photobiomodulation. They discuss in some detail the basic mechanisms of action at the cel...Loe edasi...
Lightsey and Arenberg provide an overview of system engineering as it applies to large astronomical telescopes, with an emphasis on space telescopes and the tools for supporting the development and management of future programs. Writing for aspir...Loe edasi...
Lock-in amplifiers are devices used in the optical sciences and in optical equipment in industry as a means of detecting and recording very small or weak signals that are superimposed by noise, says Kloos. He presents a step-by-step introduction...Loe edasi...
Rastegar and Dhadwal restrict their treatment here to generating small amounts of electrical energy on a local scale and to converting mechanical potential and kinetic energy to electrical energy. The information could be useful for application e...Loe edasi...
