Plotting on Weibull Paper

This report explains Weibull plotting and its rationale. It shows how the two Weibull parameter estimates are easily read off from the Weibull plot. The use of Weibull plotting is introduced first in the context of complete samples and then extended to two common forms of censoring: type I or multiple censoring and type II censoring. Two blank Weibull plotting templates are provided, one for a ...

Plotting errors measurement of CGH using an improved interferometric method.

An improved interferometric method is described for measuring plotting errors of desk-top computer plotters used to make computer-generated holograms. The plotting errors are measured using moire fringes formed using Young's fringes and straight lines drawn by the plotters. The Young's fringes are produced by laser beams originating from two single-mode optical fibers. Using this method, plotti...
