Somewhere over the Rainbow

Festival decorations are crucial indicators of the carnivalesque atmosphere of events as they capture celebratory experiences in tangible forms. Due to the strong presence of rainbow colors, LGBT+ Pride events provide fertile grounds for the discussion of decorative materials. While the acclaimed symbol of the rainbow is an expression of the LGBT+ community and their campaign for equality, the color combination is contested due to commercializing and appropriating forces. Next to altered color compositions highlighting particular identities and communities within the LGBT+ spectrum, explorations for alternative decorative patterns and visual expressions inform contemporary celebrations of equality during LGBT+ Pride events. In this article, I begin with a conceptual discussion of the carnivalesque notion, its inherent contradictions of subversion and discipline, and their expression in the form of decorative materials. Through an ethnographic study of the commemorative LGBT50 celebration in the context of Hull UK City of Culture 2017, I argue that alternative decorative approaches not only aesthetically influence the event but enable the reclaiming of the subversive atmospheres produced by the carnivalesque environment. Countering disciplining mechanisms of brand-like rainbow strategies, I outline how artistic practices negotiate innovative approaches to frame LGBT+ communities, identities, and celebrations.

The author determines the criteria for the protection of non-traditional trademarks, analyzes their application to each type of such marks. The paper highlights the main problems of registration of non-traditional trademarks in China. A conclusion is drawn about the need to improve legal, including international, regulation to stabilize and simplify the protection of non-traditional trademarks in the world.

ANALYSIS OF METHODS FOR CONTROLLING THE ACCURACY OF PAINT MATCHING

К числу основных контролируемых показателей, характеризующих качество многокрасочного изображения на печатном изделии, относится совмещение красок. Совмещение красок на оттиске представляет собой технологическую операцию, состоящую в нанесении на запечатываемую подложку отдельных печатных красок для формирования совмещенного многокрасочного изображения на печатном изделии в соответствии с требованиями его целостностности и информативности. Контроль и оценку совмещения красок на оттиске осуществляют различными методами и проводят по приводочным крестам, тест-объектам или по полученному изображению. Актуальность работы обоснована тем, что анализ запатентованных методов контроля совмещения красок при печатании и рекомендуемых стандартизированных методов показал, что для них свойственна высокая трудоемкость, наличие специальных устройств для проведения контроля, нестабильность оценки результата, а также они не обеспечивают нужную точность и объективность определения параметров совмещения красок. Это приводит к ухудшению качества напечатанных оттисков и появлению брака. В работе разработан алгоритм оценки смещения контрольных меток с применением оптических измерительных приборов и идентификацией полученного результата совмещения красок с вариантами компьютерного моделирования, с последующей статистической обработкой данных. Предложенный подход обеспечивает достоверность контроля совмещения красок и точность определения параметров его стабилизации (0,05-0,01 мм), а также позволяет объективно управлять процессом совмещения красок для обеспечения качества печатных изделий. One of the main controlled indicators that characterize the quality of a multicolored image on a printed product is the combination of colors. The combination of colors on the impression is a technological operation that consists in applying separate printing inks to the printed substrate to form a combined multicolored image on the printed product in accordance with the requirements of its integrity and informativeness. Control and evaluation of the combination of colors on the impression is carried out by various methods and is carried out on the drive crosses, test objects or on the resulting image. The relevance of the work is justified by the fact that the analysis of the patented methods of controlling the combination of paints in printing and the recommended standardized methods showed that they are characterized by high labor intensity, the presence of special devices for monitoring, instability of the result evaluation, and they do not provide the necessary accuracy and objectivity in determining the parameters of the combination of paints. This leads to a deterioration in the quality of the printed prints and the appearance of defects. The paper develops an algorithm for estimating the displacement of control marks using optical measuring devices and identifying the resulting result of combining colors with computer modeling options, followed by statistical data processing. The proposed approach provides reliable control of the color combination and the accuracy of determining the parameters of its stabilization (0.05-0.01 mm), and also allows you to objectively control the process of combining colors to ensure the quality of printed products.

RESPON IKAN DAN HASIL TANGKAPAN BERDASARKAN PERBEDAAN KOMBINASI WARNA CAHAYA LED SEBAGAI ATRAKTOR

Ketertarikan ikan terhadap cahaya telah lama dimanfaatkan sebagai salah satu teknologi dalam penangkapan ikan. Hal tersebut menyebabkan perkembangan pengetahuan tentang hal ini terus dilakukan hingga saat ini. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui respon dan hasil tangkapan ikan terhadap dua kombinasi warna cahaya LED yang berbeda. Kombinasi warna cahaya yang digunakan adalah kombinasi warna biru-merah (BR) dan kombinasi warna putih-merah (WR). Pengambilan data dilakukan pada alat tangkap bagan. Data flux cahaya dan data akustik diambil untuk masing-masing kombinasi. Data bobot hasil tangkapan diambil untuk masing-masing kombinasi warna cahaya. Hasil yang diperoleh menunjukkan bahwa kombinasi cahaya BR sedikit lebih lambat dalam menarik ikan untuk berkumpul, namun ikan di bawah kombinasi cahaya BR dapat bertahan lebih lama dibandingkan ikan di bawah kombinasi cahaya WR. Hasil uji statistik menunjukan bahwa kombinasi cahaya BR memiliki hasil tangkapan yang lebih banyak dibandingkan dengan kombinasi cahaya WR. Namun, perbedaan antara keduanya tidak signifikan.The attraction of fish toward the light has long been used as technology in fishing gear. This led to the development of knowledge about this subject continues to this day. The aim of this research is to study the fish response and catches toward of two differences LED light color combination. One combination was blue-red light color (BR) and the other was white-red light color (WR). Data was collected on lift nets. Data of luminous flux and acoustic taken for each light combination. Data of catched fish taken for each light combination. The result showed that BR combination slightly slower than WR combination in aggregating fish, however BR combination kept fish staying below it in longer time than WR combination. In addition, the results of statics test showed that BR combination had more catched fish than WR combination, although the different between both not significant.

Form design in interface of display and control system based on visual search

To explore the design pattern and guidelines for the forms displayed on the interfaces, we studied the factors of form design from the perspective of ergonomics. These factors include orientation (horizontal, vertical), color grouping and color combination. In combination with the analysis and conclusion of the experimental data, we proposed some design guidelines for human-computer interface that has many forms, such as weapon command and control system. A visual searching program was designed to simulate the display interface. Reaction time and accuracy are recorded by orthogonal experiment. Analyses such as double factor variance analysis, simple main effect are conducted on the experimental data. The following conclusions are obtained: two-color form has a faster reaction time than single color form; reaction time of the horizontal form is shorter than the vertical form. Color combination has significant influence on accuracy, and the blue-green is suiTable for form design; color grouping has significant influence on reaction time and accuracy; the interaction of color grouping and color combination shows significant differences. When designing forms in display interface, we should choose the horizontal layout with sparse coloring density as much as possible, and the effect of color combination on the recognition efficiency should be considered.

Development of Standards for Production of an Exit Sign Lighting to Minimize Human Reaction Time - Part II: Combination of Graphical Symbol Colours

In emergency situations, exit sign lightings play a role in reducing evacuation time for occupants by providing accurate and prompt information on the correct evacuation direction. In other words, it can be said that the better the recognition of exit sign lighting, the greater the probability of securing the safety of life because the evacuation route information is given to the occupants and eventually the time taken for route selection and movement is shortened. In this study, human reaction time was measured for 27 kinds of graphic symbol color combinations of exit sign lightings in the visible light region, and through this, a graphic symbol color combination that can minimize reaction time to exit sign lightings was derived. As a result, it was found that the color combination of green and white background color, which is currently mainly used in Korea, has the shortest reaction time.

The Effects of Ambient Illumination, Color Combination, Sign Height, and Observation Angle on the Legibility of Wayfinding Signs in Metro Stations

Well-designed wayfinding signs play an important role in improving the service level of metro stations, ensuring the safety of passengers in evacuation, and promoting the sustainable development of public transport. This study explored the effects of ambient illumination, color combination, sign height, and observation angle on wayfinding signs’ legibility in metro stations. In the experiment, simulated metro-wayfinding signs were made to test legibility. As designed, the legibility was measured based on the following independent variables: two levels of ambient illumination (70 lux and 273 lux), two target/background color combinations (achromatic-white target on black background, chromatic-yellow target on black background), two sign heights (1.5 m and 2 m), and three observation angles (0°, 45°, 70°). The results showed that brighter ambient illumination provided passengers with higher legibility. Achromatic color combination was more legible than chromatic color combination, but not significantly. Different types of signs, set at different height, did not directly affect legibility. Observation angle had significant effects on legibility. Visibility catchment area of wayfinding signs was like an ellipse, with its short axis nearly equal to the legibility distance of the sign at 0 degrees. The findings will facilitate the layout and setting location of wayfinding signs in metro stations and improve the level of wayfinding service.
