Color lookup tables (CLUTs) that are embedded in printer firmware consume precious flash memory. In order to conserve memory and thereby reduce cost, it is desirable to compress CLUTs prior to storage and restore tables as required. In this paper, we investigate methods for lossless compression of CLUTs. We demonstrate that, through suitable pre-processing of data, significant improvements in c...

Due to their biodegradability, affordability, low density, and numerous other benefits, natural fiber polymer composites are preferable conventional GFRP in maritime applications. However, when exposed moisture, mechanical qualities deteriorate. A significant agricultural waste called pineapple leaf (PALF) can be employed as reinforcement epoxy matrices. Improved interfacial bonding between pha...

Thermal properties and chemical performance of newly developed Thevetia peruviana oil-based (TPO) bio-composites with short sisal fibers reinforcement were studied in this research, the aim producing materials derived from renewable resources for engineering applications. Three sets TPO composites (5C, 10C 15C) reinforced 5, 10 15 wt% respectively produced by compression moulding method. Thermo...

BACKGROUND Proper function, esthetics, and cost are the prime factors to be considered while selecting bridge veneering materials. The purpose of the study is to evaluate color durability of acrylic veneer materials after immersion in common beverages at different time intervals. METHODS Spectrophotometer was used for taking color measurements based on the transmission of light through the sp...
