Digital optics
Article Abstract:
Digital optics technology offers high bandwidth for data transfers, high connectivity and high information density, as is illustrated by free-space optical-array interconnection technology. Data processing and communications systems are demanding ever-greater speed and throughput. This survey of digital optics discusses the state of the art and trends in optical information processing and transfer systems, with an emphasis on applications to supercomputers. The development of optical processing systems requires system design and architectures tailored to the capabilities and requirements of optical data representation and transmission based on symbolic substitution. Optical integrated circuit design, optoelectronic interfaces, laser-based optical power sources and global optical interconnection technologies are also discussed.

Established winners and newcomers
Article Abstract:
The Industrie Design Forum Hannover granted its design award on 132 products in categories that include house technology, industry and medicine. UK designed professional and consumer goods were included in the list of recipients of the prestigious award. International product design and development firm IDEO won a total of 27 design awards in 1996. One of its multiple award winners was a high-speed slide scanner for Polaroid cameras. However, one of the more interesting products that were recognized was TKO's 'Freeplay' clockwork radio.

"Apple Guy" gives Washington Apples a boost
Article Abstract:
The National Agri-Mktg Assn honored the Washington Apple Commission's advertising campaign launched in Feb 1999. The campaign, created with McCann-Erickson of Seattle, WA, reminds consumers why apples are enjoyable and highlights the crunchiness and juiciness of Washington Apples. They also tout the health benefits of apples as a portable, energizing and tasty snack food in consumers' busy lives. Preliminary data showed that the campaign considerably boosted Washington Apple sales.
