Analytical electrical model for a Si liquid crystal light valve.
An approximate analytical model has been developed which allows the voltage characteristics of the liquid crystal layer of a silicon liquid crystal light valve to be determined once the photocurrent level and device parameters have been specified. This model significantly decreases the computation time compared to current numerical techniques.
Liquid crystal light valves: A review of recent studies
Recent studies of the dynamics of nematic liquid crystals as well as in modeling of the photoactivated and CCD-addressed liquid crystal light valves are described. Recent developments in the visible to IR dynamic image converter are reviewed.
Body sculpturing.
Significant improvements in body contour can be accomplished by surgical procedures having reliable, predictable results. Similar to the modern sculptor of inanimate art forms, plastic surgeons have utilized new materials and devised new techniques to achieve aesthetic improvement of the face, trunk, and extremities. The goals of the surgical sculptor are perhaps more challenging than those of the pure artistic sculptor, not only because they must result in improved appearance but also because the surgeon is limited at all times by considerations of regional anatomy, the availability of viable tissue materials, and the safety of his patient.
