Image transmission

Alternatively, a fiber optic bundle can be used in place of the pipe. In a fiber optic bundle, a matrix of smaU (50—100 -lm) fiber optic strands are arranged such that the ordering of the strands at one end is equivalent to that on the other end. Therefore an image focused on one end with lenses is transmitted to the other end. Light is typicaUy sent down some of the fibers not used for image transmission to provide illumination.

A single optical fibre cannot be a suitable tool for the last mentioned application as well as for many others arranged in the reflection layout. For these applications individual optical fibres are collected to sets - bundles. Such optical elements are particularly convenient for image transmission. In chemical sensing, fibre bundles can be employed for remote Raman, fluorescence or absorption spectroscopy4,40, for visualisation etc. The... 

Chemical Modifications to Pitch. The earlier attempts to improve the commercial value of pitch residues must have been essentially exploratory research. Sanada et al, (71) in 1973 methylated the hydroxyl groups of 3,5-dimethyl phenol formaldehyde resin and noted, on carbonization, the formation of spheres of mesophase, the original resin giving an optical texture of mosaics in resultant carbons. Mochida et al. (72) carbonized naphthalene, anthracene and pyrene with aluminium chloride, sodium and potassium and examined the structure of the resultant carbons by optical microscopy and high resolution, fringe-imaging transmission electron microscopy (TEM),... 

Errors in polygon chains produce unpredictable lines on the screen and can destroy the faithful reproduction of a drawing. To protect image transmission the software provides a controlled line protocol (KERMIT) slipped over the normal PAD protocol. Such a procedure is needed only when an unprotected line protocol is applied (for example the so-called TTY-Protocol supported by a DATEX-P PAD). Security of transmission costs about 50% more transmission time depending on the quality of the physical line. 

The second section is about possibilities for organizing image transmission. This is about workflow in the radiological process, but narrowly focused on the images themselves. 

Descriptions of the simplest data structure entities and explanations of their nature follow in succeeding sections. Basic data structures are stack, queue, and other linear lists multiple-dimension arrays (recursive) lists and trees (including forests and binary trees). Pointer or link simply means computer data constituting a memory location. Level indicates position in a structure that is hierarchical. Link, level, and the elementary structures are almost intuitive concepts. They are fairly easily understood by reference to their names or to real-life situations to which they relate. Evolving computer practice has had two effects. First, the impact of the World Wide Web and Internet browsers has acquainted many computer users with two basic ideas link (pointer) and level. Second, computer specialists have increased their use of advanced data structures. These may be understandable from their names or descriptive properties. Some of these terms are tries, quad-trees (quadtrees, quaternary trees), leftist-trees, 2-3 trees, binary search trees, and heap. While they are less common data structures and unlikely to be part of a first course in the field, they enable algorithmic procedures in applications such as image transmission, geographic data, and library search.

The success rate of the bead position identification depends on the quality of the optical images. Transmission-mode images are easier to threshold for bead positions as they appear brighter than the background Parafilm M.

If the limitations regarding sample thickness or penetration depth discussed earlier do not apply, NIR imaging transmission measurements may also provide valuable information. This will be demonstrated exemplarily with reference to monitoring the diffusion front of an organic liquid into a planar polymer film and the data derived thereof (Section 8.3.3). 

The method of a eylinder preform production of an arbitrary diameter with the given radial gradual profile of refractive index distribution based on polymers, from which optical fibers ean be molded eapable of image transmission, is discussed below. 

The method described allows us to produce polymeric cylinders, from which optical rods and fibers with the given radial gradual distribution of the refractive index can be molded, and which are suitable for image transmission.
