Gray Component Replacement

In the multi-color printing, the four inks used are cyan, magenta, yellow and black, which have different response in the near infrared spectral area, in which the black with CMK color inks have no response while the black with K color ink has a good response. But two kinds of black are both visible and equivalent under daylight. Based on this principle and gray component replacement (GCR) theory, this paper introduces a black component generation method for black ink hiding infrared security image. Firstly, we establish a color lookup table for GCR and find the substitution relation between K and CMY. Secondly, the source image is color-separated with the mask which is the security image. The source image is firstly converted to CMY color format data words. The black value of each pixel for security image is detected and treated as GCR value of the corresponding pixel for source image. Then CMY values are found in GCR LUT and subtracted from three primary CMY values. And an adjustment coefficient is employed for color correction. Thirdly, the color separation image is printed. In daylight the visual effect of printed image is the same as that of source image, but the security image is detected by IR camera. Finally, a series of experiments are performed on HP Color LaserJet CP2035 printer. Experimental results show that the proposed method is promising and feasible for black ink hiding IR security image.

In the multi-color printing, the four inks used are cyan, magenta, yellow and black, which have different response in the near infrared spectral area, in which the black with CMK color inks have no response while the black with K color ink has a good response. But two kinds of black are both visible and equivalent under daylight. Based on this principle, this paper introduces a new method of security printing by K ink hiding infrared image. To hide infrared image in source image, the Yule-Nielsen modified spectral Neugebauer equations is employed, the Yule-Nielsen parameter is found based on a least squares regression over a training set of spectral measurements, then the source image is color-separated with the mask which is the security image. The security image must be a grey-scale map. The security information is stored in the K channel of the color separation image which is printed. In daylight the visual effect of printed image is the same as that of source image, but the security image is detected by IR camera. Finally, a series of experiments are performed on HP Color LaserJet CP2035 printer. Experimental results show that the proposed method is promising and feasible for preventing from falsifying presswork.

Conventional color-printing systems often use three or more inks, such as CMY, CMYK or CMYKLcLm. When the inks hues exceeds three, such as CMYKRGB, CMYKOrG and so on, there is the usual color-management one-to-many mapping problem. An algorithm was developed for multi-inks printing in which the one-to-many mapping problem was overcome by dividing the standard color space into several sub-spaces, founding the relationships between the sub-spaces and the printing color-separations and building the lookup table. The algorithm was tested using a digital inkjet printer-Mutoh8000 of CMYKOrGB. Mutoh8000 prints separated color blocks using this algorithm were compared with a generic ICC profile for CMYKLcLm prints. The CMYK inks were common to both prints. The algorithm has been proved effective and improved color printing quality significantly.

Abstract To help solve the navigational problem, i.e., being able to successfully locate a circuit for probing or editing without destroying chip functionality, a near-infrared (NIR), near-ultraviolet (NUV), and visible spectrum camera system was developed that attaches to most focused ion beam (FIB) or scanning electron microscope vacuum chambers. This paper reviews the details of the design and implementation of the NIR/NUV camera system, as instantiated upon the FEI FIB 200, with a particular focus on its use for the visualization of buried structures, and also for non-destructive real time area of interest location and end point detection. It specifically considers the use of the micro-optical camera system for its benefit in assisting with frontside and backside circuit edit, as well as other typical FIB milling activities. The quality of the image obtained by the IR camera rivals or exceeds traditional optical based imaging microscopy techniques.

In this work, highly conductive Al-doped ZnO (AZO) films are deposited on transparent and flexible muscovite mica substrates by using the atomic layer deposition (ALD) technique. AZO-mica structures possess high optical transmittance at visible and near-infrared spectral range and retain low electric resistivity, even after continuous bending of up to 800 cycles. Structure performances after bending tests have been supported by atomic force microscopy (AFM) analysis. Based on performed optical and electrical characterizations AZO films on mica are implemented as transparent conductive electrodes in flexible polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) devices. The measured electro-optical characteristics and response time of the proposed devices reveal the higher potential of AZO-mica for future ITO-free flexible optoelectronic applications.

AbstractSpectroscopic predictions can be used for the genetic improvement of meat quality traits in cattle. No information is however available on the genetics of meat absorbance spectra. This research investigated the phenotypic variation and the heritability of meat absorbance spectra at individual wavelengths in the ultraviolet–visible and near-infrared region (UV–Vis-NIR) obtained with portable spectrometers. Five spectra per instrument were taken on the ribeye surface of 1185 Piemontese young bulls from 93 farms (13,182 Herd-Book pedigree relatives). Linear animal model analyses of 1481 single-wavelengths from UV–Vis-NIRS and 125 from Micro-NIRS were carried out separately. In the overlapping regions, the proportions of phenotypic variance explained by batch/date of slaughter (14 ± 6% and 17 ± 7%,), rearing farm (6 ± 2% and 5 ± 3%), and the residual variances (72 ± 10% and 72 ± 5%) were similar for the UV–Vis-NIRS and Micro-NIRS, but additive genetics (7 ± 2% and 4 ± 2%) and heritability (8.3 ± 2.3% vs 5.1 ± 0.6%) were greater with the Micro-NIRS. Heritability was much greater for the visible fraction (25.2 ± 11.4%), especially the violet, blue and green colors, than for the NIR fraction (5.0 ± 8.0%). These results allow a better understanding of the possibility of using the absorbance of visible and infrared wavelengths correlated with meat quality traits for the genetic improvement in beef cattle.

Integrated optical phased arrays can be used for beam shaping and steering with a small footprint, lightweight, high mechanical stability, low price, and high-yield, benefiting from the mature CMOS-compatible fabrication. This paper reviews the development of integrated optical phased arrays in recent years. The principles, building blocks, and configurations of integrated optical phased arrays for beam forming and steering are presented. Various material platforms can be used to build integrated optical phased arrays, e.g., silicon photonics platforms, III/V platforms, and III–V/silicon hybrid platforms. Integrated optical phased arrays can be implemented in the visible, near-infrared, and mid-infrared spectral ranges. The main performance parameters, such as field of view, beamwidth, sidelobe suppression, modulation speed, power consumption, scalability, and so on, are discussed in detail. Some of the typical applications of integrated optical phased arrays, such as free-space communication, light detection and ranging, imaging, and biological sensing, are shown, with future perspectives provided at the end.
