Liquid crystal display

In 1971, the food processor is invented, as well as the “liquid-crystal display” (LCD). Other things also invented during this year would be the dot-matrix printer, the microprocessor and the famed VCR. In 1972, the word processor is invented and the first video game ever - Pong; is invented. In 1973, gene splicing is…

for reinforcing tires to allow them to be lighter, stiffer, and more efficient in gas consumption. One day during her work, she discovered that the polymer she was working with, Poly-paraphenylene terephthalamide (See Figure 1), was forming liquid crystals in a solution. It's molecular properties differed from the typical polymers in that it was straight as opposed to being curved. This struck her as odd, and she approached the technician about running the solution through the polymer spinneret…

High school teachers are important to the world. They help teenagers learn the skills they need for the future. This is why it is so important to have people working these jobs. There is a lot that goes into becoming a high school teacher or a secondary education teacher and there is a lot of information that needs to be considered before going into this career. The information needed is the required education that is needed to become a high school teacher, the location and availability of jobs,…

Pilkington Company, a manufacturer of glass and glazing products was founded 1826 in England. The company initially was family owned until 1970, when it shares went public on the London Stock Exchange (Pilkington Company, n.d.). In 2006, Nippon Sheet and Glass (NSG) Group, also in the glass manufacturing industry since 1918, purchases Pilkington as a wholly owned subsidiary; therefore, Pilkington and NSG Group are integrated in this report for analysis. Additionally, Pilkington and NSG Group for…

hours of television a week, more time than they spend in school. The typical American child will view more than 200,000 acts of violence, including more than 16,000 murders before age 18. Television programs display 812 violent acts per hour; children’s programming, particularly cartoons, displays up to 20 violent acts hourly…

With the emergence of concepts like core competences, the focus of gaining competitive advantages has swung from external environments towards a company’s internal resources (Collis & Montgomery, 2008). It traces the roots of competitive advantage back to present level of resources and capabilities possessed by the company. This leads us to a Resource Based View (RBV) of the company, where firms are considered or viewed as a bundle of heterogeneous resources and capabilities. In this respect,…

Abstract This experiment involved an electrophilic aromatic substitution of bromobenzene. Two products were formed: 4-nitrobromobenzene (4-NBB) and 2-nitrobromobenzene (2-NBB). Utilizing column chromatography and recrystallization, separation and purification of the two products was obtained. The mass of 4-NBB, the para product, was 1.57 grams, while the mass of 2-NBB, the ortho product, was 0.80 grams. The para product was expected to have the higher yield, since it is more stable and…

Recycling is defined as “the process of making or manufacturing new products from a product that has originally served its purpose” (Dictionary.com), which simply means reusing old things and process them to produce new useful items. Recycled aluminum cans can be melted down and created into new aluminum cans or parts of bicycles (Recycle Everywhere). Recycling is known to be beneficial to the environment. It uses less energy to create new materials, prevents pollution by reducing the need to…

ABSTRACT This Term Paper is all about the review of the book ‘21st CENTURY JET, THE MAKING OF THE BOEING 777’ by ‘Karl Sabbagh’. It includes the comments regarding how the decision of making a new plane emerged and how it determined the market status of Boeing in the Airliner field. This paper mainly focused on the history and introduction of Boeing 777 to airlines and its manufacturing process through its logistics and supply chain network and also specified the supply chain practices used in…

electrophotography and ink-jet printing and as photoconducting agents in photocopying devices. In addition, their novelty is rapidly growing in other fields where they are used as sensing elements in chemical sensors, electrocatalysts, liquid crystals, electrochromic display devices, information storage systems, semiconductors, functional polymers and molecular metals, among others. They have also found use in photodynamic therapy (PDT). [15-17] Synthesis of Phthalocyanines A number of…
