ILLUMINATED DISPLAY [9 records]

Record 1 2026-03-20

English

Subject field(s)
  • Medical Instruments and Devices
  • Diagnostic Procedures (Medicine)
  • The Eye
CONT

Genesis of the scanning laser ophthalmoscope.... In the scanning device, the illumination is incident on a small spot of the fundus for a short time period, the illumination beam is displaced to the adjacent small spot, and this continues until the field of view of the fundus is covered. Simultaneously, with the spot of illumination, the scattered light is detected; the accumulation of all of the light from all of the illuminated spots forms the image of the fundus as seen on the display of the scanning laser ophthalmoscope.

CONT

Scanning laser ophthalmoscopes produce high-contrast images even through narrow pupils. Using various color lasers, this method can [allow visualization of] particular structures of the retina noninvasively, i.e., without injection of a contrast agent. These structures include nerve fibers, drusen, nevi, and autofluorescent material.

OBS

Tamper Resistance. Most computer systems allow the operator of the system to introduce new code, such as an operating system, that controls the system hardware at the most basic level. Other computer systems attempt to resist such introduction to some degree so as to insure security properties of the hardware and its data. These steps lead to some degree of tamper resistance. "Tamper proof" refers to ideally perfect tamper resistance.

OBS

Subject field(s)
  • Landscape Architecture
  • Illumination Engineering
CONT

Sprays and jets are generally best illuminated from just under the surface of the water, which will then enhance the sparkle of the display. Luminaires used for under-water lighting should have a narrower beam spread than would be provided for open-air use, since this spread counteracts the diffusing effect of the water.

CONT

S'il n'y a pas d'éclairage du bassin, les sources lumineuses seront réparties dans le plafond de façon que la surface de l'eau soit éclairée verticalement et que les inconvénients de la réfraction soient réduits au minimum, tandis que s'il existe un éclairage au-dessous du niveau de l'eau, d'une intensité suffisante, les phénomènes de réfraction ne présenteront plus les mêmes inconvénients et l'éclairage extérieur pourra être réalisé par des projecteurs ou des rampes lumineuses disposés latéralement. Cet éclairage sous l'eau peut atteindre 650 lumen/m [carré] pour les piscines couvertes.
