Sentenced to Prism is a science fiction novel by American writer Alan Dean Foster, a stand-alone entry in his Humanx Commonwealth series of books. Like many of his books, Foster creates an extraordinary world that he tries to make unlike anything ever seen by his readers by creating a primarily silicon-based planet with almost everything seeming to be made from crystals, glass, and reflective ...
The laser printer was invented at Xerox PARC in the 1970s. Laser printers were introduced for the office and then home markets in subsequent years by IBM, Canon, Xerox, Apple, Hewlett-Packard and many others. Over the decades, quality and speed have increased as prices have decreased, and the once cutting-edge printing devices are now ubiquitous.
Prism Deflects laser beams at a 90° angle. Can be pushed. Pushing cannon Constantly fires a pushing beam. Comes in two varieties, fixed and rotating. Cannot be shot. Time bomb When the timer reaches zero, it explodes, destroying everything it touches. Can be pushed. Watcher Moves around in a random fashion. Cannot be shot. Wiper
If a dispersive element, such as a prism, is introduced into the optical cavity, tilting of the cavity's mirrors can cause tuning of the laser as it "hops" between different laser lines. Such schemes are common in argon - ion lasers , allowing tuning of the laser to a number of lines from the ultraviolet and blue through to green wavelengths.
Ocular myasthenia gravis (MG) is a disease of the neuromuscular junction resulting in hallmark variability in muscle weakness and fatigability. MG is an autoimmune disease where anomalous antibodies are produced against the naturally occurring acetylcholine receptors in voluntary muscles.
In laser science, an output coupler (OC) is the component of an optical resonator that allows the extraction of a portion of the light from the laser's intracavity beam. An output coupler most often consists of a partially reflective mirror, allowing a certain portion of the intracavity beam to transmit through.
A yoked control design is a research design used in experiments in which matched research subjects are yoked (joined together) by receiving the same stimuli or conditions. [1] In operant conditioning the yoked subject receives the same treatment in terms of reinforcement or punishment.
A krypton fluoride laser (KrF laser) is a particular type of excimer laser, [1] which is sometimes (more correctly) called an exciplex laser. With its 248 nanometer wavelength, it is a deep ultraviolet laser which is commonly used in the production of semiconductor integrated circuits , industrial micromachining, and scientific research.
