San Juan Capistrano has some manufactures, including aircraft parts, medical apparatus, and boats, but the economy is , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 20, 1995--Prolux Corp., a leading designer of LCD illumination systems, Wednesday announced that it will debut its PROLIGHT(tm) illumination software at an upcoming San Francisco Bay area “Bay Area” redirects here. For other uses, see Bay Area (disambiguation). The San Francisco Bay Area, colloquially known as the Bay Area or The Bay conference. The workshop conference is entitled "Designing Illumination Products," and is sponsored by the University of Wisconsin, Department of Engineering Professional Development and takes place on Oct. 12-13, 1995. Conferees will address general illumination systems design using PROLIGHT(tm) measurement and calibration techniques, and affects of non-uniform illumination on modulation transfer function (MTF (1) (Modulation Transfer Function) A measurement of monitor sharpness. MTF compares the contrast ratio between alternating black and green lines that are one pixel thick. ). Prolux Corp. is pleased to have Mitchell C. Ruda, Ph.D and Kenneth R. Castle Ph.D. giving the presentation. Dr. Ruda and Dr. Castle are optical engineering consultants with Ruda & Associates Inc. of Tucson, Ariz. Their broad experience covers the complete range of optical system design, engineering, fabrication fabrication (fab´rikā´sh  n),n the construction or making of a restoration. , testing, radiometry Radiometry A branch of science that deals with the measurement or detection of radiant electromagnetic energy. Radiometry is divided according to regions of the spectrum in which the same experimental techniques can be used. and evaluation. They have contributed their expertise to a variety of program areas, including laser communications and laser radar laser radar n. See lidar. , space-based pointing and tracking systems, ground-based telescopes, commercial earth resource sensors and soft x-ray projection lithography. Dr. Ruda is a fellow of SPIE SPIE International Society for Optical Engineering SPIE Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers SPIE Source Path Isolation Engine SPIE Special Purpose Insertion Extraction SPIE Software Process Improvement Experimentation SPIE Standard Protocols in Effect , and has served as chairman/editor of many SPIE conferences, as well. Prolux Corp. has recently released a new line of LCD light engine projection products. These products utilize the state-of-the-art software design tools that are being discussed at the Design and Illumination Products Workshop. Prolux Corp. is utilizing its propriety design technology to create LCD illumination systems that are two to three times brighter than comparable products. Prolux Corp. is a Southern California based high technology firm. The company's proprietary, patented LCD illumination technology (patent pending) permits large amounts of light to be utilized by an LCD (liquid crystal display liquid crystal display (LCD) Optoelectronic device used in displays for watches, calculators, notebook computers, and other electronic devices. Current passed through specific portions of the liquid crystal solution causes the crystals to align, blocking the passage of light. ) while retaining superb contrast ratios, rich colors and sharp images. This technology is being used to develop a complete line of LCD projection based products. The company's proprietary technology provides superior image quality and brightness far greater than any other product using similar components in the marketplace today. CONTACT: Prolux Corp.
