Ashiabor Submitted to the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science on May 28, 2007, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Engineering in Electrical Science and Engineering. Abstract A small sized and efficient method to power RGB LEDs for use as backlights in flat panel displays is explored in this thesis. The proposed method is to drive a parallel switched connection of LEDs with a single Average Mode Controlled buck regulator. Specifications for the switching regulator and control circuitry are described. The application circuit demonstrates current settling times between 7ps and 30ps at a switching frequency of 290kHz. Current settling is improved at higher switching frequencies, with settling times approaching a 2ps to 4ps range at 1MHz switching. M.I.T.

  • Negotiating the Non-Narrative, Aesthetic and Erotic in New Extreme Gore
    NEGOTIATING THE NON-NARRATIVE, AESTHETIC AND EROTIC IN NEW EXTREME GORE. A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Communication, Culture, and Technology By Colva Weissenstein, B.A. Washington, DC April 18, 2011 Copyright 2011 by Colva Weissenstein All Rights Reserved ii NEGOTIATING THE NON-NARRATIVE, AESTHETIC AND EROTIC IN NEW EXTREME GORE. Colva O. Weissenstein, B.A. Thesis Advisor: Garrison LeMasters, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This thesis is about the economic and aesthetic elements of New Extreme Gore films produced in the 2000s. The thesis seeks to evaluate film in terms of its aesthetic project rather than a traditional reading of horror as a cathartic genre. The aesthetic project of these films manifests in terms of an erotic and visually constructed affective experience. It examines the films from a thick descriptive and scene analysis methodology in order to express the aesthetic over narrative elements of the films. The thesis is organized in terms of the economic location of the New Extreme Gore films in terms of the film industry at large. It then negotiates a move to define and analyze the aesthetic and stylistic elements of the images of bodily destruction and gore present in these productions. Finally, to consider the erotic manifestations of New Extreme Gore it explores the relationship between the real and the artificial in horror and hardcore pornography. New Extreme Gore operates in terms of a kind of aesthetic, gore-driven pornography. Further, the films in question are inherently tied to their economic circumstances as a result of the significant visual effects technology and the unstable financial success of hyper- violent films.

  • Jigsaw: Torture Porn Rebooted? Steve Jones After a Seven-Year Hiatus
    Originally published in: Bacon, S. (ed.) Horror: A Companion. Oxford: Peter Lang, 2019. This version © Steve Jones 2018 Jigsaw: Torture Porn Rebooted? Steve Jones After a seven-year hiatus, ‘just when you thought it was safe to go back to the cinema for Halloween’ (Croot 2017), the Saw franchise returned. Critics overwhelming disapproved of franchise’s reinvigoration, and much of that dissention centred around a label that is synonymous with Saw: ‘torture porn’. Numerous critics pegged the original Saw (2004) as torture porn’s prototype (see Lidz 2009, Canberra Times 2008). Accordingly, critics such as Lee (2017) characterised Jigsaw’s release as heralding an unwelcome ‘torture porn comeback’. This chapter will investigate the legitimacy of this concern in order to determine what ‘torture porn’ is and means in the Jigsaw era. ‘Torture porn’ originates in press discourse. The term was coined by David Edelstein (2006), but its implied meanings were entrenched by its proliferation within journalistic film criticism (for a detailed discussion of the label’s development and its implied meanings, see Jones 2013). On examining the films brought together within the press discourse, it becomes apparent that ‘torture porn’ is applied to narratives made after 2003 that centralise abduction, imprisonment, and torture. These films focus on protagonists’ fear and/or pain, encoding the latter in a manner that seeks to ‘inspire trepidation, tension, or revulsion for the audience’ (Jones 2013, 8). The press discourse was not principally designed to delineate a subgenre however. Rather, it allowed critics to disparage popular horror movies. Torture porn films – according to their detractors – are comprised of violence without sufficient narrative or character development (see McCartney 2007, Slotek 2009).

After controlling among 600 popular films, only 25.9% of speaking for various production, distribution, and industry factors, characters were from minority groups (Smith, Choueiti the study finds no statistically significant differences & Pieper 2013). Minorities are even more between films starring white and nonwhite leading actors underrepresented in top roles. Only 15.5% of 1,070 in all three aspects of movie performance.

Guillermo del Toro) U SA/Germany, 2008 Universal Pictures Even a cursory glance over the films reviewed in the last issue of the IJGHS alone reveals the extent of the checklist of contemporary anxieties that recent horror films have voiced, ranging from terrorist attacks on US and European metropolises; the war on terror; religious extremism (at home and abroad); Hurricane Katrina, the Asian Tsunami and related natural disasters; SARS and contagion; and the erasure of human contact and individual identity in an age of user­generated websites and shaky­cam news footage. The times they are a­becoming quite anxious indeed, all of which is contributing to the generation of an increasingly dark strain of studio output, in which any franchise worth its salt seems compelled to adhere to one cardinal rule: each successive release must be marketable as “the darkest instalment yet” (see, for example, Harry Potter , Spider­Man , and Star Wars in recent years, as well as Daniel Craig’s reboot of James Bond). What’s more, there is no room for a straightforward hero these days (significantly, the second instalment of Bryan Singer’s Superman franchise seems stuck in development hell), and this summer in particular gave the anti­hero his day in the sun, from Will Smith’s Hancock (Dir.
