IPS Grows Relationship With Consumer Electronics Giant 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 Systems Inc. - under its trade name IPS Automation-announced today that Sony Corporation purchased two additional ADI 7200 SE Systems worth a total of $140,000. This sale brings the total number of similar systems used at Sony's San Diego plant to five. "This sale reinforces our relationship as a key supplier to one of the biggest and best-known consumer electronics manufacturers in the world," says Terry Graham, IPS Chairman & President. The ADI 7200 SE is a vision-based inspection system, which detects and evaluates the amount of stray emissions from television tubes. The stray emissions are caused by errant electrons-generated by unwanted debris in a Cathode Ray Tube See CRT. (hardware) cathode ray tube - (CRT) An electrical device for displaying images by exciting phosphor dots with a scanned electron beam. CRTs are found in computer VDUs and monitors, televisions and oscilloscopes. (CRT (1) (C RunTime) See runtime library. (2) (Cathode Ray Tube) A vacuum tube used as a display screen in a computer monitor or TV. The viewing end of the tube is coated with phosphors, which emit light when struck by electrons. )-discharging and then striking the phosphor A rare earth material used to coat the inside face of a CRT. When struck by an electron beam, the phosphor emits a visible light for a few milliseconds. In color displays, red, green and blue phosphor dots are grouped as a cluster.

Our systems detect significantly more defective TV tubes," says Ken Wawrew, VP, Sales at IPS. "Our systems allow Sony to remove defective tubes early thus reducing manufacturing costs. Sony achieved a return on its investment within three months." IPS Automation is a rapidly growing company providing automation solutions to customers worldwide.
