Seam Testing Methods... There are number of procedures available which have applicability on different geomembranes... the ultrasonic impedance plane method works on the principle of acoustic impedance. A continuous wave of 160 to 185 kHz is sent through the seamed liner and a characteristic dot pattern is displayed on a CRT screen. Calibration of the dot pattern is required to signify a good seam; otherwise, it is not. The method has potential for all types of geomembranes but still needs additional development work. 1, record 13, English, - ultrasonic%20impedance%20plane%20method

In CRT phototypesetting, characters are generated by scanning and are "painted" on the screen by strokes of light. In VDT phototypesetting, the most common method of generating images is by creating them out of a series of dots arranged into a rectangle or dot matrix. 4, record 14, English, - character%20generation

The process of directly drawing lines by sweeping an electron beam over the surface of a CRT was brought up in the raster-scan section. There is a class of display devices known as vector or refresh graphic displays that use this technique. A typical system contains a graphics memory that holds a display file of line segments to be drawn on the screen. The display processor repeatedly cycles through this list of lines, thereby refreshing the screen. 1, record 24, English, - refresh%20graphic%20display
