BRIGHT, Jr. THE MACMILLAN COMPANY • NEW YORK 1949 FOREWORD THIS study of the economic development of the electric- lamp industry is the second volume in a series of studies on the economics of innovation, undertaken at the Massachusetts Insti- tute of Technology. The creative role played by science and technology in modern economic life is apparent to everyone. But we know relatively little about the human factors which condition the introduction of technological change into our environment. Are there barriers to innovation inherent in the increasing concentration of power in a few large concerns? Does the patent system, designed as an incentive to invention, act more often as a brake on new develop- ments? What has been the role of key personalities in creating change? Are there lessons to be drawn from the past on how the innovating process can be more effective, not only from the standpoint of achieving a higher standard of material being but from the point of view of smoother human relations? Certainly, material progress at any price is not a satisfactory goal. On the other hand, freedom for creative action in initiating and carrying out new developments is a basic human drive for many individu- als. I believe, personally, that a great society should strive toward a goal which will give to individuals and groups the maximum opportunities for creative expression; yet this means to me that the State must act to prevent the compulsive pressure of some particular group from overriding others to the destruction of human values.

    A GLOSSARY OF THEATRE TERMS © Peter D. Lathan 1996-1999 http://www.schoolshows.demon.co.uk/resources/technical/gloss1.htm Above the title In advertisements, when the performer's name appears before the title of the show or play. Reserved for the big stars! Amplifier Sound term. A piece of equipment which ampilifies or increases the sound captured by a microphone or replayed from record, CD or tape. Each loudspeaker needs a separate amplifier. Apron In a traditional theatre, the part of the stage which projects in front of the curtain. In many theatres this can be extended, sometimes by building out over the pit (qv). Assistant Director Assists the Director (qv) by taking notes on all moves and other decisions and keeping them together in one copy of the script (the Prompt Copy (qv)). In some companies this is done by the Stage Manager (qv), because there is no assistant. Assistant Stage Manager (ASM) Another name for stage crew (usually, in the professional theatre, also an understudy for one of the minor roles who is, in turn, also understudying a major role). The lowest rung on the professional theatre ladder. Auditorium The part of the theatre in which the audience sits. Also known as the House. Backing Flat A flat (qv) which stands behind a window or door in the set (qv). Banjo Not the musical instrument! A rail along which a curtain runs. Bar An aluminium pipe suspended over the stage on which lanterns are hung. Also the place where you will find actors after the show - the stage crew will still be working! Barn Door An arrangement of four metal leaves placed in front of the lenses of certain kinds of spotlight to control the shape of the light beam.

  • Fading Lights, Transitions in Theatre Lighting in a Historical Context
    Fading Lights Transitions in theatre lighting in a historical context by Chris Van Goethem (english revision by Gitta Van Goethem) Fading Lights is a cooperative project between the Expertise Center for Technical Theatre and the Stockholm Academy of Dramatic Arts. The project researches the history of lighting with a focus on the transitions between subsequent technologies. In the context of the im- minent transition to more LED sources, it seems useful to us to look at earlier transitions and maybe learn something from them. In other words, we would like to fnd out how the tech- nician, the designer, and the audience have adapted to the transition from candlelight to gas lights, to electrical lighting. The frst types of theatre were performed in daylight or with the lighting equipment that was at hand for domestic use. Those would have been torches, cressets, tapers, etc. In smaller spaces, dipped candles from animal fat were used among other things. Those were cheap, but gave off a conside- rable amount of smoke and stench. Apart from that, lamps based on a wick dipped in vegetable oil were used. Candles from bees wax were expensive en were therefore only used in extraordinary circumstances, when high-ranking people were present. The most important function of these sources of light was making the actors visible. Although we must also point out that some light sources 3 different types of cressets were manipulated by the actors so they could stress certain things. Some light sour- ces were also used purely symbolic to, for ex- ample, show that it was night, even though the play was during the day.

This resource is part of our series for schools, highlighting and celebrating how gas has lit our homes and streets and kept us warm for over 200 years. This resource primarily supports History at Key Stages 1 and 2 and the development of children’s enquiry, creative and critical thinking skills. It includes: • Information for teachers • Fascinating Did you know..? facts • A series of historical images to help children explore the theme, with additional information and questions to help them look closer. It can be combined with other resources in the series to explore wider topics such as: • Energy • Homes • Victorians • Jobs and work • The industrial revolution • Technology And used to support cross-curricular work in English, Technology, Science and Art & Design. Project the images onto a whiteboard to look at them really closely, print them out, cut them up or add them to presentations, Word documents and other digital applications. Our Classroom activities resource provides hints, tips and ideas for looking more closely and using the images for curriculum-linked learning.

  • Enhanced Optical Efficiency and Color Purity for Organic Light
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Enhanced optical efciency and color purity for organic light-emitting diodes by fnely optimizing parameters of nanoscale low-refractive index grid Jae Geun Kim1,3, Yooji Hwang1,3, Ha Hwang1, Jun Hee Choi1, Young Wook Park 2* & Byeong-Kwon Ju1* To extract the confned waveguided light in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), inserting a low refractive index (RI) periodic structure between the anode and organic layer has been widely investigated as a promising technology. However, the periodic-structure-based light extraction applied inside devices has been shown to severely distort spectrum and afect EL characteristics. In this study, a simple light extraction technology using periodic low-RI nanodot array (NDA) as internal light extraction layer has been demonstrated. The NDA was fabricated simply via laser interference lithography (LIL). The structural parameters of periodic pattern, distance, and height were easily controlled by the LIL process. From computational analysis using fnite-diference time-domain (FDTD) method, the NDA with 300 nm pitch and 0.3 coverage ratio per unit cell with 60 nm height showed the highest enhancement with spectral-distortion-minimized characteristics. Through both computational and experimental systematic analysis on the structural parameters of low-RI NDA-embedded OLEDs, highly efcient OLEDs have been fabricated. Finally, as representative indicators, hexagonal and rectangular positioned NDA-embedded OLEDs showed highly improved external quantum efciencies of 2.44 (+29.55%) and 2.77 (+57.38%), respectively. Furthermore, the disadvantage originating from the nanoscale surface roughness on the transparent conductive oxide was minimized. Screen, or display, has been acting as a connector between human being and electronic device for many decades.

Many of them come with a reference so that the interested reader can go deeper. The terms are translated into the Hungarian, German, and Slovak language, as Central and Eastern Europe is a growing community very much engaged in combustion activities. Relevant expressions were selected, ranging from laboratory applications to large-scale boilers, from experimental research such as spectroscopy to computer simulations, and from fundamentals to novel developments such as CO2 sequestration and polygeneration. Thereby, students, scientists, technicians and engineers will benefit from this book, which can serve as a handy aid both for academic researchers and practitioners in the field. This book is the 2nd edition. The first edition was written by the author together with Harald Holzapfel, Tomás Suchý, Pál Szentannai and Franz Winter in 2009. The publisher was ProcessEng Engineering GmbH (ISBN: 978-3902655011). Their contribution is acknowledged. Recommended textbook on combustion: Maximilian Lackner, Árpád B.
