Simple spectroscope used with solid state image amplifier over wide spectral range

Prism plus image amplifier panel provides visual image of many infrared spectral lines from carbon arc impregnated with metal compound. Different metal compounds generate various desired spectra. Panel also aligns and focuses simple spectroscopes for detecting spectral lines inside and outside visible region

Improved radiographic image amplifier panel

Layered image amplifier for radiographic /X ray and gamma ray/ applications, combines very high radiation sensitivity with fast image buildup and erasure capabilities by adding a layer of material that is both photoconductive and light-emitting to basic image amplifier and cascading this assembly with a modified Thorne panel

Aircraft communication via telefacsimile system

Based on reading rate of between 500-1000 words/minute, transmitting typewritten matter only, system uses lowest possible bandwidth to avoid overcrowding, while furnishing data as fast as it can be absorbed by pilot. Bandwidth requirements are less than 150 kHz, a considerable saving over conventional television

Social Networking and Individual Performance: Examining Predictors of Participation

This dissertation addresses relationships between social networking and individual performance. The act of social networking is a process and practice by which people and organizations are drawn together by family, work or hobby to interact via websites. The explosion of these new network connections in the workplace suggests the need for an exploration of the various ways organizations can affect and improve performance and productivity. This dissertation suggests a social networking participation model that may help organizations predict and understand the value proposition that affects acceptance or rejection of participation. Innovation adoption, governing by network and social capital are important theories in developing an understanding of social networking behavior. Performance may be influenced when people are presented with evidence of a return on the investment of their time. Even if there is simply a perception of benefit, users may be more inclined to participate, or they may be moved to increase their participation levels. Therefore, this study explores the extent to which individual perceptions of usefulness and type of use predict social networking levels of participation. This dissertation explores a theoretical framework promoting effective measurement of concepts to predict social networking adoption and participation. A review of the constructs of perceived usefulness, perceived improvement potential, perceived ease of use, perceived encouragement, intraorganizational trust, and type of use provides a potential benefit to understanding social networking in organizations. The perceived impact of social networking is widely supported, but much research is still needed to identify the psychological process of participating in these activities. This dissertation is an important first step in adding to the current body of literature. Theoretical arguments about social networking and individual perceptions of performance are explored in this study. These arguments are tested using structural equation modeling. Data from 191 social networking participants are collected using a survey instrument of 37 questions. The research results show that perceived usefulness, perceived improvement potential, perceived ease of use, intra-organizational trust, and type of use are predictors of social networking participation. The study validates the survey instrument through model fit, and suggests future research to improve the instrument. Further, this dissertation urges organizations to ask questions about relationships between social networking and individual performance much earlier in the process than is now the case

A Recommended Program And Layout For Rural High Schools Shop

The history of industrial education in the small high school in Texas has been the history of an Experimental attempt at Shop Management. A general shop, involving some four activities, under the charge of one man, having some thirty boys each trying to learn some particular skill that he is interested in, present bedlam at its worse unless there is some purposeful organization running throughout the entire shop program. The progress made in the small general shop is made in direct proportion to the extent of the organization that existed in the shop. The Rural High School has a tremendous responsibility in its trying to meet the interest needs of the number of boys that come to school. The problem is how can such an organization be affected. This study is an attempt to outline a program that is workable in a small rural situation. The Study shall concern itself with modern trends in shop program making and at the same time keep in mind the barrenness of the locality, the irregularity of attendance, the lack of adequate space, and the indifference of some parents to that kind of training. The program shall be concerned more with the boy. It will be so organized that he will play an important in its development and its success
