Applied Science Fiction Inc. Selects IBM Japan As Key Supplier For Digital PIC Process; IBM Japan To Provide Circuit Boards For Digital Dry Film Processing.Business and Technology Editors PMA PMA (papillary-marginal-attached), n a system of epidemiologic scoring of periodontal disease devised by Schour and Massler in which the symbols denote the areas involved in gingival inflammation. PMA Progressive muscular atrophy 2002 ORLANDO, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 25, 2002 Applied Science Fiction (ASF See Windows Media formats. 1. (language) ASF - Algebraic Specification Language. 2. (body) ASF - Analytical Solutions Forum. (TM)) announced today that ASF has selected IBM (International Business Machines Corporation, Armonk, NY, www.ibm.com) The world's largest computer company. IBM's product lines include the S/390 mainframes (zSeries), AS/400 midrange business systems (iSeries), RS/6000 workstations and servers (pSeries), Intel-based servers (xSeries) Japan Ltd. as the high-density image processing image processing Set of computational techniques for analyzing, enhancing, compressing, and reconstructing images. Its main components are importing, in which an image is captured through scanning or digital photography; analysis and manipulation of the image, accomplished circuit board supplier for ASF's digital photo processing kiosk systems. Applied Science Fiction(TM) is the creator of the award-winning Digital ICE(TM) and Digital ICE3(TM) technologies, the leader of automatic photo restoration applications and the inventor of the cutting-edge digital dry film processing system, Digital PIC(TM). ASF will provide consumers with a digital solution to traditional film processing. "We are delighted to have IBM Japan as our circuit board supplier for our digital dry film processing systems," said Dan Sullivan For other uses, see Dan Sullivan (disambiguation). Daniel "Dan" Sullivan was a fictional character in the popular BBC soap Opera EastEnders. He was played by Craig Fairbrass. , ASF's president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. . "Our Digital PIC process requires high speed, high bandwidth processing using sophisticated computer and board technology. IBM Japan is known for developing and producing reliable, high performance systems and they can provide the high technology boards to our specifications. This capability is especially critical when delivering high quality, consistently reliable results when using our Digital PIC process in a self-service environment. ASF is ensuring that consumers and retailers can rely on our Digital PIC process." Digital PIC Process ASF's Digital PIC technology develops 35mm film directly into a high-resolution RGB (Red Green Blue) The computer's native color space, which is the color system for capturing and displaying images. RGB was derived from our own perception of color because human eyes are sensitive to red, green and blue (see trichromaticity). digital format in one quick step. Micro-amounts of a proprietary developing agent are applied to a roll of exposed but undeveloped film as it is fed through the processor's image-capture engine. The environmentally friendly Environmentally friendly, also referred to as nature friendly, is a term used to refer to goods and services considered to inflict minimal harm on the environment.[1] Digital PIC process requires no water, generates no hazardous effluents, and makes complete silver recovery possible. Next, the Digital PIC system makes a digital record of each image. Once the image data is captured, color data and exposure settings are established on a pixel-by-pixel basis for each element of every image. Complete 24-exposure roll development is accomplished within approximately seven minutes of the film being fed to the image-capture engine. Digital PIC creates a unique Extended Range Digital Negative(TM) (XRDN(TM)) on a CD. The XRDN CD offers consumers tremendous flexibility for communicating with images. The XRDN CD includes an index-print file plus high-, medium- and low-resolution image files that provide the consumer a convenient avenue to distribute their images in many ways. Digital PIC allows for consistent image quality, and is Internet and Broadband ready. Configurations for Digital PIC technology include photo kiosks See kiosk. , microlabs, backoffice workstations, backlabs, quick print stations and develop and print kiosks. About Applied Science Fiction Applied Science Fiction develops proprietary technologies for the imaging industry that link traditional photography with the digital age. ASF licenses its branded technologies through Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) that provide products for the professional and consumer imaging markets. Additionally, ASF directly distributes Adobe(R) Photoshop(R) compatible plug-ins for automatic image enhancement See image editing. and correction. ASF's product portfolio consists of the Digital ICE3 film scanner See slide scanner. suite, Digital ICE, Digital ROC and Digital GEM(TM), the individual components of the suite, Digital ICE and Digital ROC for flatbed scanners, and Digital ROC plug-in for color restoration and Digital SHO plug-in for revealing details of dark image-areas. ASF is also the innovator in digital dry film processing, with its environmentally friendly Digital PIC technology. Digital PIC develops exposed film directly into a high-resolution RGB digital format file in minutes. Digital PIC produces an Extended Range Digital Negative(TM) (XRDN(TM)) on a CD from which photographic quality images can be easily printed.
