Smart Mini-Cameras

Smart Mini-Cameras

Achieve the Best Camera Design: Up-to-Date Information on MCMsMiniature camera modules (MCMs) such as webcams have rapidly become ubiquitous in our day-to-day devices from mobile phones to interactive TV systems. MCMs—or smart cameras—can zoom adjust their frame rate automatically with illumination change focus at different distances compensate for hand shake and transform captured images. With contributions from academics and field engineers Smart Mini-Cameras discusses the structure operation principles applications and future trends of miniature mobile cameras. It compares this technology with traditional digital still cameras and explains the specific requirements of MCM components (imposed by the size or type of application) in terms of optical design image sensor and functionalities. The book describes the implementation of several active functionalities including liquid crystal auto focus (AF) and optical image stabilization (OIS). It also explores how new technologies such as the curved detector and transforming optics are stimulating novel trends including a miniature panoramic lens on mobile phones. By providing you with an understanding of the components and performance tradeoffs of MCMs this book will help you achieve the best camera design. It also answers frequently asked questions such as the importance of the number of megapixels in a mobile phone camera and the value of AF and OIS features.

Armed Conflicts in South Asia 2011 The Promise and Threat of Transformation

Armed Conflicts in South Asia 2011 The Promise and Threat of Transformation

Fourth in the annual series this volume reviews the transformative changes which have emerged in the armed conflicts in South Asia in 2010 several of these with long and convoluted histories including the conflicts in Jammu & Kashmir northeast India and the Naxalite movement in central India; as also issues of autonomy in Balochistan the FATA region in Pakistan the Chittagong Hill Tracts in Bangladesh and the Terai foothills in Nepal. The book examines whether armed conflicts have transformed since their inception; or only metamorphosed into the sullen acceptance that could usher future violence. While conflicts in South Asia have been interspersed with peace efforts the book looks at the complex trajectories that such attempts have taken. Specifically it identifies three regions where most significant transformative trends were witnessed in South Asia in 2010: conflict-ridden Sri Lanka Af-Pak and the Naxalite regions of India. | Armed Conflicts in South Asia 2011 The Promise and Threat of Transformation

Modern Women Artists in the Nordic Countries 1900–1960

Modern Women Artists in the Nordic Countries 1900–1960

This transnational volume examines innovative women artists who were from or worked in Denmark Finland Greenland Iceland Norway Sápmi and Sweden from the emergence of modernism until the feminist movement took shape in the 1960s. The book addresses the culturally specific conditions that shaped Nordic artists’ contributions brings the latest methodological and feminist approaches to bear on Nordic art history and engages a wide international audience through the contributors’ subject matter and analysis. Rather than introducing a new history of rediscovered women artists the book is more concerned with understanding the mechanisms and structures that affected women artists and their work while suggesting alternative ways of constructing women’s art histories. Artists covered include Else Alfelt Pia Arke Franciska Clausen Jessie Kleemann Hilma af Klint Sonja Ferlov Mancoba Greta Knutson Aase Texmon Rygh Hannah Ryggen Júlíana Sveinsdóttir Ellen Thesleff and Astri Aasen. The target audience includes scholars working in art history cultural studies feminist studies gender studies curatorial studies Nordic studies postcolonial studies and visual studies. | Modern Women Artists in the Nordic Countries 1900–1960

Practical Guide to ICP-MS and Other Atomic Spectroscopy Techniques A Tutorial for Beginners

Practical Guide to ICP-MS and Other Atomic Spectroscopy Techniques A Tutorial for Beginners

Written by one of the very first practitioners of ICP-MS Practical Guide to ICP-MS and Other Atomic Spectroscopy Techniques: A Tutorial for Beginners presents ICP-MS in a completely novel and refreshing way. By comparing it with other complementary atomic spectroscopy (AS) techniques it gives the trace element analysis user community a glimpse into why the technique was first developed and how the application landscape has defined its use today 40 years after it was first commercialized in 1983. What’s new in the 4th edition: Updated chapters on the fundamental principles and applications of ICP-MS New chapters on complementary AS techniques including AA AF ICP-OES MIP-AES XRF XRD LIBS LALI-TOFMS Strategies for reducing errors and contamination with plasma spectrochemical techniques Comparison of collision and reaction cells including triple/multi quad systems Novel approaches to sample digestion Alternative sample introduction accessories Comprehensive glossary of terms used in AS New vendor contact information The book is not only suited to novices and beginners but also to more experienced analytical scientists who want to know more about recent ICP-MS developments and where the technique might be heading in the future. Furthermore it offers much needed guidance on how best to evaluate commercial AS instrumentation and what might be the best technique based on your lab’s specific application demands. I feel honored to have been asked to deliver the Foreword for this book which is suited not only for beginners but also for more experienced analytical scientists who want to know the advances in plasma spectrochemistry instrumentation and related future opportunities.
