In the context of age studies, Anne Basting (2001) refers to the performative quality of aging and Katharine Woodward (2006) claims that age can be performed in the same way as gender is also performed. Since Margaret Gullette (2004) refers to acting age

Key Considerations in Assessing the Safety and Performance of Camera-Based Mirror Systems
Camera-based mirror systems (CBMSs) are a relatively new technology in the automotive industry, and much of the United States’ medium- and heavy-duty commercial fleet has been reluctant to convert from standard glass, or “west coast”, mirrors to CBMSs ...

In the co-phasing techniques applied to the segmented telescope, a Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor cannot accurately detect the piston error of the segment. Although the phase diversity (PD) algorithm can detect the piston error of each segment, it fails

Modular Lidar System for Multiple Field-of-View Ranging
This paper explores the possibility of distributing the fields of view (FOVs) of a centralized lidar cluster using fixed mirrors for future use in safety applications in robotics and elsewhere. A custom modular lidar system with time-over-threshold (TOT)

Today the locution “looking glass” survives almost exclusively thanks to the extraordinary success of Lewis Carroll’s novel Through the Looking-Glass. This expression underlines the ambiguity between the glass surface intended as a device through which ...

The Casimir force for passive mirrors [PDF]
We show that the Casimir force between mirrors with arbitrary frequency dependent reflectivities obeys bounds due to causality and passivity properties. The force is always smaller than the Casimir force between two perfectly reflecting mirrors.

Design and Optimization of Thermophotovoltaic System Cavity with Mirrors
Thermophotovoltaic (TPV) systems can convert radiant energy into electrical power. Here we explore the design of the TPV system cavity, which houses the emitter and the photovoltaic (PV) cells. Mirrors are utilized in the cavity to modify the spatial and
