Simmonds Precision Aircraft Systems.... One of the most successful multimode fiber optic sensors to date has been the Faraday sensor. This type of device has been used to detect rotational speed, torque, proximity and other parameters. When in a reflective configuration, the transducer element has consisted of a thin Faraday film between a polarizer and a mirror. In this paper, it is shown that enhanced performance of the sensor results when the polarizing element is removed from the transducer. 2, record 1, English, - transducer%20element

A flexible organic light-emitting diode(... or FOLED) is an organic light-emitting device designed with flexible material, such as a reflective metal foil or clear plastic film, instead of the heavier glass used in cathode ray tube(CRT) computer displays. FOLEDs are very useful for portable devices, such as laptop computers and wall-mounted screens because they are relatively easy and inexpensive to produce and require little energy. 4, record 3, English, - flexible%20organic%20light%2Demitting%20diode

Many who have used film in a domed theater have come to the conclusion that the domed surface is not the best venue for most motion pictures. For a film to look good on the dome, the dome typically has to have a reflectance of about 30%. Planetarium projectors, especially Digistar, work best with a reflectance above 80%. The darker surface is needed for film to reduce the cross-reflectance that causes a film to look washed-out on a more reflective dome. 2, record 5, English, - cross%2Dreflectance
