Rapid Processing of Photographic Materials

Rapid thermal processing of magnetic materials

The rapid thermal processing (RTP) technique features dynamic control of temperature, which permits high heating and cooling rates that cannot be reached with conventional furnace treatments. In recent years, RTP has been increasingly applied to the processing of magnetic materials. The controllable heating profiles provide an approach for the deliberate construction of materials structure via ...

Signal Processing Leads a Photographic and Imaging

Photography and imaging have been radically transformed over the past couple of decades in ways that 19th-century pioneers such as Louis-JacquesMandé Daguerre (Figure 1) and Henry Fox Talbot could have scarcely imagined. Traditional photography and imaging, rooted in chemical processes, have now largely given way to digital methodologies and technologies. The result has been faster, less expens...

Evidence for holistic processing of faces viewed as photographic negatives.

Inversion and photographic negation both impair face recognition. Inversion seems to disrupt processing of the spatial relationship between facial features ('relational' processing) which normally occurs with upright faces and which facilitates their recognition. It remains unclear why negation affects recognition. To find out if negation impairs relational processing, we investigated whether n...

Rapid Manufacturing of Digital Materials

The transition from analog to digital has revolutionized many fields over the past century – most notably computation and communication – and can be used to similarly revolutionize additive manufacturing technology. Digital materials are composed of many discrete, self-aligning voxels placed in a massively parallel layer deposition process, as opposed to continuous (analog) deposition technique...
