Plasma Televisions
Now a status symbol among the rich and wealthy, a plasma TV is a high-definition (HDTV) alternative to the standard cathode-ray televisions sold today. It gives viewers sharp images and vibrant colors, particularly when used in conjunction with high-definition broadcasts. A quality plasma TV, however, does not come cheap. Its price ranges from $4,000 to $15,000 plus.
One of the main attractions of a plasma TV is a flat screen, which can be mounted directly on a wall. Manufacturers often employ surround-sound theater speakers and high-end receivers to complete the feeling of luxury.
No wonder plasma TVs are such a craze these days.
In terms of science, 'plasma' refers to inert gases like neon and xenon that glow when in contact with an electrical field. Televisions usually rely on thousands of small 'picture elements', abbreviated as pixels. A bundle of three distinct colors, usually red, green and yellow, constitute one pixel in a color TV. Properly controlling the level of each color, all of the other colors of the spectrum can be produced in each pixel.
The distance between the viewer and the screen is usually such that the individual pixels blur into each other and the illusion of motion is created as they change color. Plasma or not, this holds true for any television system.
The individual pixels in a plasma TV are made from three tiny containers of an inert gas like neon or xenon. There are thousands of these tiny tubes on an average plasma TV screen. All of them are sandwiched between two electrically charged plates. And plasma glows when exposed to an electrical current.
A cable or broadcast antenna dispatches signals to a computer-processing unit. The antenna instructs the unit how to reassemble the entire picture hundreds of times per second.
A plasma TV screen contains more pixels than a standard television, so the image is noticeably sharper. If light conditions are ambient, a plasma TV will perform at its best. As flat screens have a viewing angle of 160 degrees, one can watch TV from almost any position in a room..
March Plasma Systems Announces Improved AP-1000 Plasma System for Advanced Plasma Processing
Concord, CA (ContentDesk) May 11, 2006 -- March Plasma Systems announced the release of an improved version of its highly successful AP-1000 plasma system for high-volume plasma processing of semiconductor and microelectronics devices.
The current AP-1000 system already enjoys a large installed base at customer sites worldwide, with over 200 systems currently in the field.
The redesigned version provides the same production-proven plasma technology and performance in a smaller, more compact and easier-to-service design.
Every square inch of clean room and manufacturing space is valuable, said Peter Bierhuis, President of March. We have improved the new AP-1000 system to consume 24% less actual floor space than before, and 45% less effective floor space when you include all of the required maintenance areas.
We have also moved key components to make them more accessible and easier to service.
An added benefit for large-scale manufacturing...

Bifocal Contact Lenses
People suffering from presbyopia, which makes people unable to read at the usual distance from the eyes and need to place the reading material at a distance further away, were initially prescribed bifocal glasses that could be used to correct two different kinds of problems with the eyes. These bifocal were difficult to manage, so scientists designed contact bifocals for people who wanted to avoid the hassles of bifocal glasses.
The same mechanism is involved in bifocal contact lenses...
