The latest revolutionary development in press-based printing is Direct-On-Press(DOP) imaging. Instead of separately generating the printing plates, and then mounting each of them on the appropriate cylinders of the press(before running the print job), presses with an imaging head mounted on each press cylinder have been developed. Blank plates are mounted on each press cylinder and then they are all exposed simultaneously, after which the print job can be run immediately. 3, record 1, English, - imaging%20head

The imaging LIDAR prototype comprises a compact optical head, an electronic box, and is controlled via a PC. The transmitter produces 150 W peak power at 905 nm wavelength with two semiconductor lasers at 500 Hz rate. The light is coupled into optical fibres and directed to the target via a triplet lens. The backreflected light is collected with a receiver lens and fed through optical fibres to 18 avalanche photodiode detectors(APD). 2, record 4, English, - imaging%20lidar

Les premiers systèmes de surveillance à longue portée étaient de gros appareils montés sur trépied, configuration qui est encore largement répandue dans cette application. Le MRTI (multi-role thermal imager) de Thorn EMI en est l'exemple type. Complété d'un télémètre à laser collimaté avec l'optique et d'une tête de triangulation, l'ensemble devient l'Otis (Observer thermal imaging system) qu'utilisent au moins trois armées dont l'Armée britannique. 2, record 5, French, - imageur%20thermique%20polyvalent

Stereo imaging [of the Acoustic Research AR9 Speakers] was very satisfactory, the sound-stage being wide and appearing to be slightly behind the line of the units. Lateral stability was excellent, while vertical movements of the head gave only the small and expected shifts due to interference effects. 2, record 7, English, - stability
