Denture microlabeling technique

An identification by denta l means has been recognized as a val id rel iable scientific procedure by law enforcement agencies and courts all over the world. The first identification for adminis t ra t ion of law and just ice using h u m a n teeth occurred in 1477.1 This was identif ied by means of teeth. Several labeling techniques have been proposed for the identification and mark ing of dentures. 2-7 Large printing characters used in label ing seem to take much denture space and its esthetic value i f more personal information is to be added. A technique to record personal identification information as a graphic image has been developed. The graphic image tha t contains personal identification information was recorded on an ordinary (Polaroid, Polaroid Corporation, Cambridge Mass.) slide film by use of computer slidemake r software. The label t ha t resul ts from this technique is small and does not affect the esthetic value of the denture. Therefore this art icle proposes a denture microlabeling technique so tha t personal information such as name, ID number, sex, and country of origin can be recorded.

Edwin Herbert Land, 7 May 1909 - 1 March 1991

Edwin H. Land was distinguished for his inventions and contributions in the fields of polarized light, photography and colour vision. He has had an impact on the lives of many millions of people and has provided large-scale employment in many countries for over five decades. The Polaroid Corporation, which Land founded, may continue to do so for many more. He mastered the art of giving the people what they wanted at a price they could afford. He has had few peers in the advancement and application of natural science to everyday life. Land’s achievements spanned the disciplines of art, science, technology and commerce. In the field of polarized light, he was responsible for the invention, development and efficient commercial production of the first sheet polarizers, for a sequence of subsequent polarizers, and for the theory and practice of many applications of polarized light. Such devices are widely used today in liquid crystal displays (LCD), in sunglasses and in scientific and medical research. The trade name ‘Polaroid’ has become the accepted generic name for these sheets. In the field of photography, Land developed the cameras and associated special films that produce almost instantaneous dry pictures directly from the camera. He mastered the complex physicochemical science that gave neutral or coloured, continuous-tone, instantaneous photographs. All of this required a team of first-class scientists and technicians that he led with great success. Novel equipment, using these colour systems, has also been widely exploited, including versions where the colour photograph develops in daylight.

Polaroid's environmental accounting and reporting system: Benefits and limitations of a tqem measurement tool

Polaroid Corporation has established an ambitious pollution prevention program that calls for reducing chemical use and waste by 10 percent per unit per year during the period 1988 to 1993. A notable aspect of Polaroid'S efforts is the environmental accounting and reporting system (EARS) it has developed to measure progress toward this goal. EARS is a Total Quality Environmental Management tool with applicability in similar industries.

The use of Polaroid TPX radiographic film for light localisation-radiation fields coincidence testing

Type TPX radiographic film by Polaroid Corporation is a 'dry-chemical' processed imaging system. While this film system has found its greatest application in surgical radiography, that it uses a small (40*65 cm2), portable processor requiring no darkroom, makes the system potentially attractive for checking light localisation field alignment on radiotherapy treatment units, which often must be performed at night after regular film processors have been turned off, or when successive adjustments might otherwise require frequent trips to a distant darkroom.

Translating object specifications into a computer-generated three-dimensional graphic to be reproduced as a high efficiency, reflection photo-polymer hologram suitable for mass-production

A process is described for translating the specifications of an object and its interrelationship with another object into a three-dimensional computer graphic and then into a photo-polymer hologram. The capability to translate specifications about objects and their interrelationships into accurate holograms without having to create either a physical model or the manufactured object itself opens exciting possibilities in the areas of creative design and communication. It may assist in the manufacturing process by allowing designers to specify objects and to study accurate, three-dimensional representations of those specifications, including interrelationships with other objects, without the need for an actual physical model. Finally, the hologram may become a means for effective representation of an image produced through the use of three-dimensional computer graphics for people without access to appropriate computer graphics. The process described here was divided into two segments. The MIT Media Lab was responsible for creating a sequence of computer-generated images and transferring those images to film. Polaroid Corporation was responsible for creating the hologram from the images on film.

Achromatic Holographic Stereogram Of Landsat Multispectral Scanner Data

A new technique for presenting satellite Landsat multispectral scanner (MSS) three-dimensional image data has been developed under a collaboration between the Canada Centre for Remote Sensing (CCRS) and the Polaroid Corporation. It consists of the production of white-light viewable holographic stereograms obtained by digital and optical processing of Landsat MSS stereo pairs. The digital processing extracts elevation information from suitable Landsat image pairs and synthesizes a sequence of fictitious perspective views. Laser optical processing is then used to merge these images into a white-light viewable holographic stereogram producing a black-and-white three-dimensional image of the earth's surface. The high quality of the relief image demonstrates the potential of computer/holographic hybrid techniques as tools for further analyses of remotely sensed data.

Solvent Waste Management In A High Technology Corporation

This paper describes the philosophy and methodology used by Polaroid Corporation in managing its solvent wastes. The emphasis is on distillation and recycling of solvents via careful process planning and development. Techniques are described which show that a non-chemical company can develop procedures with a small but efficient technical group.

QWL Development: Three Trajectories

This paper describes three contrasting trajectories of quality of working life (QWL) development which appear to match contrasting sets of organizational conditions. The trajectories, while made up of similar components, differ in terms of component order. Based on the sequence of organizational climate improvement, individual commitment, and structural change, "planned, " "evolved, " and "induced" QWL patterns are distinguished. These patterns are derived from a comparative, longitudinal analysis of QWL in six established manufacturing facilities in the United States. Three organizations are used to illustrate the different paths: Polaroid Corporation's ABC plant, Corry Jamestown, and Donnelly Mirrors. The paper discusses the fit between trajectory and organizational properties prior to start-up, early on, and over the course of change. A preliminary integration is made in terms of the need for organizational change and management ability to produce change. Common aspects across the change trajectories then are isolated, and a concluding statement is made about the importance of taking a developmental approach to QWL.

Infrared photographic photometry with an 'instant' film.

The use of infrared-sensitive film for making measurements of the infrared reflectance of pigmented lesions has been described previously (Marshall, 1976, 1980, 1981). The present paper describes the use of an experimental ‘instant’ infrared film produced and made available by the Polaroid Corporation. The film was used in a small photographic photometric study in which it was compared with a standard infrared-sensitive negative material.
