...view the hologram is easy. A beam from a helium-neon laser is passed through one lens, which spreads it to cover the entire plate, through the plate itself and then through another lens, which acts as an optical computer and converts the spots into a coherent picture (see diagram). The result is an image showing the arrangement of atoms in one plane of the crystal. This image can be combined with images from other sections to give a three-dimensional view of the crystal's entire atomic structure. Says Stroke: "In the past, all we have been able...
Other active systems use water or various antifreeze solutions as a heat-conducting medium (see diagram). In Hyde's house, water heated by the sun to around 200° F. is stored in a 2,500-gal. tank. Hot water then circulates through a heat coil over which air is blown by a fan and ducted to every room in the house. At Harry Evans' new home in East Hampton, N.Y., heat from solar panels in the roof is collected in a bin containing 1,000 sealed, plastic bottles of water, which can hold the heat...
...spate of the thirties films that did so well at the box office, turned out to be much more complex and intelligent than anyone expected. Beneath the precise atmospheric touches (the right clothes, the right music, the right slang, etc.) you find an apt and sinister diagram of where the tentacles of power lead. It's a lovely new interpretation of the American pioneerism: John Huston's Noah Cross serves as one of the more indelible and paradigmatic characters in recent movies. He singlehandedly demystifies the American dream. The connection he embodies between incest, political power and capitalism finds...
...conventional telephone hookup, sound waves entering a microphone are converted into electrical pulses, which travel along a copper wire to another phone, where they are converted back to sound waves. In a typical optical arrangement (see diagram), sound waves entering a telephone microphone are converted into electrical signals. These signals pass through an encoder, which converts them into electrical pulses that switch a laser on and off, interrupting a light beam being sent into the end of a fiber. The light thus travels in a series of pulses, not unlike Morse code, that race along the glass "wire...
Carter said he would admit the manual because it did not refer to any specific operation. But he turned down Browning's efforts to enter another document on the grounds that it was much too specific. The disputed item was a rough diagram of the floor plan of a North Sacramento branch of the Bank of America. The single sheet of paper carried a handwritten note by Patty: "saw 7 employees: 5 women & 2 men (1 young & nervous. Manager is fat & Black...
