    Ciliary Body Melanoma is a type of cancer arising from the coloured part uvea of the human eye eye . About 12 of uveal melanoma arise from the ciliary body. Clinical features It occurs most commonly in the sixth decade. External signs include dilated episcleral blood vessels sentinel vessels . Extraocular erosion may produce a dark mass beneath the conjunctiva . Pressure on the Lens anatomy lens by the enlarging tumor can cause astigmatism , sublaxtion of the lens and formation of a localised lens Opacity optics opacity . The tumor can erode forward through the iris root and mimic an iris melanoma . Retinal detachment can be rarely caused by Posterior anatomy posterior extension of the tumor. Anterior uveitis is an uncommon presentation and occurs due to tumor necrosis . Cirumferentially growing tumors carry a bad prognosis as they are diagnosed late. At times the tumor is detected as an incidental finding during routine examination. The tumour is usually diagnosed by clinical examination with a slit lamp utilising a triple mirror contact lens. Ultrasonography and fine needle aspiration biopsy FNAB are also sometimes helpful in confirming the diagnosis. Treatment enucleation of the eye Enucleation surgical removal of the eye is the treatment of choice for large ciliary body melanomas. Small or medium sized tumors may be treated by an iridocyclectomy . Radiotherapy may be appropriate in selected cases.

  1. Blackout (fabric)

    Other uses Blackout disambiguation Blackout refimprove date February 2012 Blackout refers to a Foam rubber foam backed, Opacity optics opaque fabric used to black out light . Blackout fabrics are most commonly found in hotel rooms as curtain linings or drapery fabrics, blocking much of the light that would otherwise enter through a window when the curtains are closed. For travelers, third shift workers, and parents of babies, blackout is an essential element in the bedroom . Besides window coverings, other uses for blackout fabrics include wallpaper , Projection screen movie projector screens and planetarium domes. Manufacture The process of manufacturing blackout was invented by Baltimore based Rockland Industries , ref name Rockland Industries cite news last Schneider first Eric title Post Leaderman Rockland Diversifies, Adds New Products url http www.sipco.net story post leaderman rockland diversifies introduces new products newspaper Fabrics & Furnishings International date December 12, 2000 ref and involves coating a fabric with layers of foam, or passes . A 2 pass blackout is produced by applying two passes of foam to a fabric first, a black layer is applied to the fabric, then a white or light colored layer is applied on top of the black. A 3 pass blackout is produced by applying a layer of white foam to the fabric first, then a layer of black foam followed by the third and final layer of white or light colored foam. Uses A 3 pass blackout can be used as a decorative fabric and blackout lining all in one fabric. A 2 pass cannot be used this way, because the black foam is visible through the fabric side of the material. In addition to blocking light, blackout fabrics also Thermal insulation insulate and have Soundproofing noise dampening qualities, due to their density and opacity.

  1. Ice detector

    Unreferenced date November 2006 An ice detector is an optical transducer probe available for aviation purposes. It has no moving parts , is completely solid and its principle of operation is entirely optical. Intrusive to the airstream and Hermetic seal hermetically sealed , it uses un collimated light to monitor the Opacity optics opacity and optical refractive index of the substance on the probe. It is de sensitized to ignore a film of water. The device works as a combined optical spectrometer and optical switch . A change in opacity registers as Rime frost rime ice . A change in refractive index registers as clear ice. Optical components are made of acrylic glass , which is the material used for aircraft windshields. The wavelength of the transducer s excitation light is not visible to the human eye so as not to be mistaken for any kind of navigational running light. Installation Optical ice detectors can be installed on any type of air vehicle with enough air speed to keep water from accumulating on the optics, such as rotorcraft, general aviation aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles. They can be embedded into host aerospace systems such as an altimeter , antenna, anti icing system, flight data recorder , jet engine inlet, pitot tube , Stall flight Stall warning and safety devices stall warning indicator or weather system. Optical ice detectors operate on 3.3 V DC at 100 mA. Installation requires the probe to be mounted in the airstream beyond the boundary layer , and in a location easily accessible to the pilot for occasional cleaning with a cotton swab and isopropyl alcohol . Operation The device works as a rudimentary go no go ice indicator or as an icing rate indicator for pilots who may have inadvertently entered icing domains. Electronic signal level comparator s sense the transducer s output and activate Light emitting diode LED s to indicate relative icing rates to the pilot. The pilot can then judge the rate of ice accumulation and make a piloting deci ...   more details

  1. Subdwarf star

    star nav A subdwarf star , sometimes denoted by sd , is luminosity class VI under the stellar classification Yerkes spectral classification Yerkes spectral classification system. They are defined as star s with luminosity 1.5 to 2 Absolute magnitude magnitudes lower than that of main sequence stars of the same spectral type . On an Hertzsprung Russell diagram subdwarfs appear to lie below the main sequence . The term subdwarf was coined by Gerard Kuiper in 1939, to refer to a series of stars with anomalous spectra that were previously labeled as intermediate white dwarfs . ref Ken Croswell , The Alchemy of the Heavens , New York Oxford UP, 1995 , p. 87. ref Cool subdwarfs Like ordinary main sequence main sequence stars, cool subdwarfs of spectral types G to M produce their energy from hydrogen nuclear fusion fusion . The explanation of their underluminosity lies in their low metallicity these stars are unenriched in elements heavier than helium . The lower metallicity decreases the Opacity optics opacity of their outer layers and decreases the radiation pressure , resulting in a smaller, hotter star for a given mass. ref James Kaler , Stars and their Spectra , Cambridge Cambridge UP, 1989 , p. 122. ref This lower opacity also allows them to emit a higher percentage of ultraviolet light for the same spectral type relative to a Population I star, a feature known as the ultraviolet excess . ref Ken Croswell , The Alchemy of the Heavens , New York Oxford UP, 1995 , pp. 87 92. ref Usually members of the Milky Way s Galactic halo halo , they frequently have high space velocities relative to the Sun .

    Artwork image file Three Spheres II.jpg title Three Spheres II artist M. C. Escher year 1946 type Lithography lithograph height 26.9 width 46.3 Italic title Three Spheres II is a Lithography lithograph print by the Netherlands Dutch artist M. C. Escher which was first printed in April 1946. As the title implies, it depicts three sphere s on a flat surface. The sphere on the left is transparent with a photorealistic depiction of the Refraction refracted light cast through it towards the viewer and onto the flat surface. The sphere in the center is reflective. Its Mirror image reflection is a self replicating image of Escher in his studio drawing the three spheres. In the reflection one can clearly see the image of the three spheres on the paper Escher is drawing on in the center sphere of that image, one can vaguely make out the reflection of Escher s studio which is depicted in the main image. This process is implied to be infinite, Recursion recursive . The sphere on the right is Opacity optics opaque and diffuse, i.e. neither specularly reflective nor transparent.

Sunspot br 8. Granules br 9. Prominence The radiation zone or radiative zone is a layer of a star s interior where energy is primarily transported toward the exterior by means of radiation radiative diffusion , rather than by convection . ref name ryan norton2010 Energy travels through the radiation zone in the form of electromagnetic radiation as photon s. Within the Sun, the radiation zone is located in the intermediate zone between the solar core at 20 of the Sun s radius and the outer convection zone at 71 of the Sun s radius. ref name ryan norton2010 Matter in a radiation zone is so dense that photons can travel only a short distance before they are absorbed or scattered by another particle, gradually shifting to longer wavelength as they do so. For this reason, it takes an average of 171,000 years for gamma ray s from the core of the Sun to leave the radiation zone. Over this range, the temperature of the plasma drops from 15 million K near the core down to 1.5 million K at the base of the convection zone. ref name elkins tanton2006 Within a radiative zone, the temperature gradient the change in temperature T as a function of radius r is given by math frac text d T r text d r frac 3 kappa r rho r L r 4 pi r 2 16 sigma T 3 r math where r is the Opacity optics opacity , r is the matter density, L r is the luminosity, and is the Stefan Boltzmann constant . ref name ryan norton2010 Hence the opacity and radiation flux L within a given layer of a star are important factors in determining how effective radiative diffusion is at transporting energy. A high opacity or high luminosity can cause a high temperature gradient, which results from a slow flow of energy. Those layers where convection is more effective than radiative diffusion at transporting energy, thereby crea ...   more details



  1. Electroluminescent display

    Electroluminescent Displays ELD s are a type of Flat panel display created by sandwiching a layer of electroluminescent material such as GaAs between two layers of conductors. When current flows, the layer of material emits radiation in the form of visible light. Electroluminescence EL is an optical and electrical phenomenon where a material emits light in response to an electric current passed through it, or to a strong electric field. Mechanism EL works by exciting atom s by passing an electric current through them, causing them to emit photon s. By varying the material being excited, the colour of the light emitted can be changed. The actual ELD is constructed using flat, opacity optics opaque electrode strips running parallel to each other, covered by a layer of electroluminescent material, followed by another layer of electrodes, running perpendicular to the bottom layer. This top layer must be transparent in order to let light escape. At each intersection, the material lights, creating a pixel.

    Orphan date November 2009 In computer generated imagery and real time 3D computer graphics , antiportal rendering is a way to reduce overdraw the rendering of detail which will not be in the final image , and in this way to optimize draw speed. Antiportals are related to portal computer graphics portal s, and are the inverse. An antiportal or occluder works by defining a plane geometry plane or volume which can never be seen through, normally by placing it within an Opacity optics opaque object. The renderer uses this to quickly calculate which objects faces verticies lie behind the antiportal, and so are out of line of sight, so do not need to be rendered. ref name byrne cite book title Game Level Design last Byrne first Edward authorlink coauthors year 2005 publisher Cengage Learning location isbn 1584503696 page 231 pages url accessdate ref Many video game s and 3D graphics programs use this technique for speed rendering.
