When observers view a naturalistic (l/f) broadband image, the various spatial components present in the image stimulate many detecting-mechanisms that suppress each other. This suppression is anisotropic, being relatively greater for mechanisms...
Integrated circuits--Design and construction; Integrated circuits industry--Technological innovations
Lithographic processes for printing device structures on integrated circuits plays a major role in the semiconductor industry. This project aims at designing and fabricating a programmable mask for a direct write lithography system which can...
Protective coatings; Microelectromechanical systems
PARYLENE (poly-para-xylylene) is mostly used as a conformal protective polymer pin-hole free coating material to uniformly protect any component configuration on diverse substrates. This thesis describes in detail how the unique properties of...
Symmetric piezoresistive microcantilever beams have been demonstrated in previous research to be capable of sensing the presence of surrounding gas. This occurs as the damping effect of the gas changes the beam resonance behavior. Device...
Electromyography; Spinal cord--Wounds and injuries
Introduction: Approximately 12,000 new cases of spinal cord injury (SCI) are reported each year in the US. Currently, the most widely used method of assessing the recovery of voluntary capability after spinal cord injury is the American Spinal...
In this work, micro fabrication techniques are explored not only to simplify the production of complex lab on-a-chip devices (LOC), but also micro fabrication will be utilized to create intelligent design features that will enhance an...
In the electronic and microfabrication industry, die separation is one of the most critical steps in producing an undamaged, stand-alone micro-scale device. For silicon based devices, it is the predominant step governing resistance to die failure...
"Just inside the Lion Gate, [Heinrich] Schliemann uncovered what archaeologists now designate as Grave Circle A. It predates the Lion Gate and the walls of Mycenae by some three centuries. Grave Circle A encloses six deep shafts that had...
A group of young women, probably students at the Kentucky Home School for Girls, pose for a photo in Louisville, Kentucky's Central Park. They are dressed in togas and carry various props indicating they may have been putting on a play about the...
Portraits; Men; Teachers; People associated with education & communication
Portrait of Kenneth Freer of Louisville, Kentucky, a teacher at Louisville Male High School. He is wearing wire-frame glasses and suit. The photograph has a large crease and a lot of discoloration. Handwritten on back of image: Male High director...
Buildings; Educational facilities; Universities & colleges; University of Louisville--Buildings; University of Louisville. Speed Scientific School; Distilling industries
Speed Scientific School testing for distilleries, University of Louisville, Louisville, Kentucky, 1936. At a square brick structure a man in vest and face mask stands on a flat square of wood and holds a lever on a machine--built in a metal frame...
Portrait of left profile of actor, producer, and director James K. Hackett, wearing a checked suit jacket. Born September 6, 1869 in Wolf Island, Ontario, Canada, James K. Hackett starred in seven productions at Macauley's Theatre between 1894 and...
Portrait of William R. Bernard wearing a checked wool suit jacket and a paisley necktie. He appeared at Macauley's Theatre with James K. Hackett in "The Pink Mask" and "The Private Secretary" in February 1894. Inscription on...
Portrait of actor Donald Robertson wearing dark jacket and white necktie. Robertson was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, on December 12, 1860, and died on May 20, 1926 in Chicago, Illinois. He led the acting troupe The Drama Players (of the Chicago...
