Preliminary Specification MI-40206 Color Monitor

This document represents the RCA Corporation preliminary specification for the MI-40206 color monitor that was prepared, revised and submitted by Fred L Bechly on June 19, 1953.Tri-color Kinescope technology was considered to be the RCA "secret weapon" vs. competitor CBS during establishment of the NTSC standard for color television by the Federal Communications Commission in 1953. RCA assigned model MI-40206 as the prototype which used the NTSC standard as its input, and RCA ultimately prevailed with the NTSC standard on December 17, 1953. The MI-40206 prototype was then commercialized in 1954 to become the RCA TM-10A Color Monitor.

Spatiotemporal Spectral Variations of AOT in India’s EEZ over Arabian Sea: Validation of OCM-II

We report the results of sun-photometric measurements of Aerosol Optical Thickness (AOT) in India’s Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) over the Arabian Sea along with synchronous Ocean Color Monitor (OCM-II) derived AOT estimates during December 12, 2009–January 10, 2010. Relatively higher values of Angstrom exponent (α) around 1.2 near coast and 0.2–0.8 in the India’s EEZ, observed during the cruise period, indicate the presence of smaller particles near the coast due to anthropogenic activities; and larger particles in the India’s EEZ due to advection of pollutants from Indian subcontinent via long-range transport. Results related to α and its derivative reveal four different aerosol types (urban-industrial, desert-dust, clean-marine, and mixed-type) with varying fraction during the study period. Surface radiative forcing due to aerosols is found to be 20 W/m2 over India’s EEZ. OCM-derived AOTs showed good corroboration with in situ measurements with a correlation coefficient of about 0.95. A reasonably good correlation was also observed between AOT and wind speed (R = 0.6); AOT and relative humidity (R = 0.58). The concurrent MODIS AOT data also agree well with those observed by the OCEANSAT (OCM-II) satellite during the campaign period.

Application Research Color Management in the Transfer Printing Based on the Linear Regression Algorithm

There are many factors that effect the quality of the heat transfer printing products. The CRT in prepress is the most important factor. In this paper, the color ladder segmentation is spaced at 5. The color of the CRT is tested with X-RITE color monitor optiomizer. According to the data and the curve, the function model of color characteristic features is set up. We made the common test plates which is to verify the error of the function model. As a result, The range of color error in the heat transferring printing is reduced. The color management profile is put forward, the quality of transferring printing is improved. A reference is provided for the color management in the heat transfer printing.
