  • FILM FORMATS ------8 Mm Film Is a Motion Picture Film Format in Which the Filmstrip Is Eight Millimeters Wide
    FILM FORMATS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 8 mm film is a motion picture film format in which the filmstrip is eight millimeters wide. It exists in two main versions: regular or standard 8 mm and Super 8. There are also two other varieties of Super 8 which require different cameras but which produce a final film with the same dimensions. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Standard 8 The standard 8 mm film format was developed by the Eastman Kodak company during the Great Depression and released on the market in 1932 to create a home movie format less expensive than 16 mm. The film spools actually contain a 16 mm film with twice as many perforations along each edge than normal 16 mm film, which is only exposed along half of its width. When the film reaches its end in the takeup spool, the camera is opened and the spools in the camera are flipped and swapped (the design of the spool hole ensures that this happens properly) and the same film is exposed along the side of the film left unexposed on the first loading. During processing, the film is split down the middle, resulting in two lengths of 8 mm film, each with a single row of perforations along one edge, so fitting four times as many frames in the same amount of 16 mm film. Because the spool was reversed after filming on one side to allow filming on the other side the format was sometime called Double 8. The framesize of 8 mm is 4,8 x 3,5 mm and 1 m film contains 264 pictures.

Paper prepared in cooperation with the Pacific Northwest Region. Abstract Hall, Frederick C. 2001 Ground-based photographic monitoring. Gen. Tech. Rep. PNW-GTR-503. Portland, OR: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Pacific Northwest Research Station. 340 p. Land management professionals (foresters, wildlife biologists, range managers, and land managers such as ranchers and forest land owners) often have need to evaluate their management activities. Photographic monitoring is a fast, simple, and effective way to determine if changes made to an area have been successful. Ground-based photo monitoring means using photographs taken at a specific site to monitor conditions or change. It may be divided into two systems: (1) comparison photos, whereby a photograph is used to compare a known condition with field conditions to estimate some parameter of the field condition; and (2) repeat photo- graphs, whereby several pictures are taken of the same tract of ground over time to detect change. Comparison systems deal with fuel loading, herbage utilization, and public reaction to scenery. Repeat photography is discussed in relation to land- scape, remote, and site-specific systems. Critical attributes of repeat photography are (1) maps to find the sampling location and of the photo monitoring layout; (2) documentation of the monitoring system to include purpose, camera and film, w e a t h e r, season, sampling technique, and equipment; and (3) precise replication of photographs.

Their function is to project an enlarged image from a transparent film onto a distant screen. In this activity, you will see how the different optical optical components of the projector work together. stage Materials overhead projector appropriate screwdrivers projector case Procedure Figure 1 1. Before turning on the overhead projector, open the optical stage to see An overhead projector inside the projector case. Sketch the arrangement of optical components by considering what a cross-section of the projector would look like. Note the arrangement of any bulbs, mirrors, or lenses that you find in the projector case. Add the optics of the projection head to your sketch. 2. Turn on the projector to project an image of a letter onto a screen nearby. Make adjustments to focus the image. 3. Use the focus knob to move the projection head upward. How does this affect the image? Refocus the image. 4. Use the focus knob to move the projection head downward. How does this affect the image? Refocus the image. 5. Move the projector farther from the screen. How does this affect the image? Analysis (a) Draw a ray diagram, with at least three different rays, showing how light travels from the bulb to the screen.

  • Holographic Wormhole Drive: Philosophical Breakthrough in FTL 'Warp-Drive' Technology
    Holographic Wormhole Drive: Philosophical Breakthrough in FTL 'Warp-Drive' Technology Richard L. Amoroso Noetic Advanced Studies Institute Beryl, UT USA [email protected] Skeptics say Faster than light (FTL) space travel is the stuff of Science Fiction, could take 1,000 years and require a Jupiter size mass-energy source to operate superluminal warp drive spaceships. The author solves this problem in a radical new approach called the “Holographic Wormhole Drive” resulting in the possibility of warpdrive technologies in the near term. The Alcubierre warp drive metric (considered most advanced ) derived from Einstein’s General Relativity field equations by Miguel Alcubierre, in 1994 stretches space in a wave. Space ahead of a ship contracts & space behind expands, inhabitants of the warp-bubble travel along what astrophysicists call a ‘freefall’ geodesic, not moving locally inside the bubble at FTL velocities. But this model requires a negative mass-energy the size of Jupiter to operate. Amoroso uses a new spacetime transformation to cover the domain wall of the warp bubble with an array of mini-wormholes allowing an incursive oscillator to manipulate Alcubierre’s alpha and beta functions with minimal external energy input, i.e. the inherent infinite energy of the spacetime vacuum is used instead by a method of ‘ballistic’ spacetime programming. In "The Immanent Implementation of FTL Warp-Drive Technologies", from his book "Orbiting the Moons of Pluto, Amoroso solves major problems facing the Alcubierre metric based on principles of Holographic Anthropic Cosmology from another volume: "The Holographic Anthropic Multiverse". His solution is a 'Holographic Figure-Ground Effect' where the 'local' free-fall Warp Bubble separates from the holographic background by covering the domain wall of the free-fall warp-bubble with a system of mini-wormholes by 'programming mirror symmetry parameters of the spacetime vacuum'.
