    Arduino Printer Bachelor thesis „Arduino printer“, author Danielius Sivinskis. This project contains narrow instructions on how printer was built and programmed using Arduino language. Step-by-step instructions on how the structure was made. Explaining every component, it‘s purpose and why it was chosen specifically. The goal of this work was to make working printer which could print any image, selected by the user. To sum it up, we have a finished physical printer with it‘s advantages and disadvantages which can print images, uploaded right into program code

    Author and printer in Victorian England

    No full text
    Author and Printer in Victorian England demonstrates that printing technology shapes texts. The technology involved was a nineteenth-century revolution in printing methods; the texts were classic literary works by Victorian authors. What was at stake was textual control: who would decide how the text would read - author, compositor, printer's reader, or publisher? In a unique fusion of literary history and printing history, Allan C. Dooley explores the interactions between individual authors and their publishers and printers. He takes the reader through each stage of a work's development, illustrating how authors attempted to perfect and protect their writings from compositional manuscript through stereotyped reprints. His analysis includes details of a wide range of technical innovations and changes in practices in the printing of books between the development of printing machines in the 1830s and 1840s and the introduction of the Linotype in the 1890s. Drawing on the experiences of leading Victorian authors, he shows how nineteenth-century printing practices both enhanced and diminished writers' abilities to control texts. He reveals that much more was under their control than has commonly been believed and that many authors took advantage of printing technologies in order to gain and maintain control over the texts of their works. But new kinds of errors and new sources of inaccuracy were introduced by the technology as well. One little-known but surprising fact pointed out by Dooley: Victorian authors frequently saw only one set of proofs, which they had to correct with great speed and without their manuscripts in hand. Author and Printer in Victorian England reaches some surprising and controversial conclusions, occasionally touching on current debates about the theory and practice of scholarly editing. Groundbreaking in its scholarship, it provides a basis for future work

    Stereogram Printer

    The goal of this creative works project was to build an inexpensive Stereogram printer capable of producing three-dimensional images from a series of two-dimensional pictures. This type of printer is very useful for making hologram-like images of objects and scenes that would be impossible to ‘holograph’ by traditional, optical methods. Though several printers of this type have already been built, they generally cost several thousands of dollars to develop. The author built the following small-scale printer primarily from a 200LCDtelevisionanda200 LCD television and a 10 scanner. (However, it should be noted that this piece of equipment had to be run on an expensive optics table.

    Jakob Klöss: The printer of Decsi’s adagia- a printer and publisher in Bátfa

    No full text
    The author examines the reason why the press of the one-time Upper-Hungarian town Bártfa (today Bardejov, Slovakia) owned by Jakob Klöss was chosen in 1598 to print Baranyai Decsi’s Adagia, his third book to appear in Hungary. His former two works both dedicated to the Transylvanian Prince Sigismund Báthory unlike his Adagia which was addressed by the author to Georgius Warkocs were published in two different Transylvanian towns. It was very likely his person that connected Baranyai Decsi and the printer of Bártfa. He was akin to several noble families resident in Upper Hungary who financially supported a series of books issued by the printer Jakob Klöss. It appears that it was to the advantage of Baranyai Decsi’s proverb-collection that it was issued by a competent printer in a well-equipped office also supplied with Greek types. The author also gives a reconstruction of the printing types used in Adagia

    Disciplining the Author: A Look at the Author-Printer Relationship in America

    No full text
    International audienceThe European tradition of printers’ manuals initiated in the early seventeenth century was vigorously perpetuated in the United States throughout the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Although first intended for the print shop, these manuals also aimed at teaching authors the mechanics of printing, in order to maintain a valuable partnership between printer and author. At the turn of the twentieth century, these texts, along with readers’ and publishers’ guidebooks, constructed a technical, professional and ideological discourse on bookmaking. This analysis of some eighteen volumes published between 1870 and 1918 focuses on the tensions between the printing house and the author, largely induced by the acceleration of mechanical tasks. It thus attempts to highlight the specificities of a discourse on bookmaking that reflects both how printers were coming to terms with mechanisation (or the threat thereof), and how they required the author’s contribution in an effort, perhaps, to ascertain the artistic and intellectual dimension of printing

    3D Printer

    Master thesis deals with topic about 3D printers, concretely making hardware of control and power electronic for FDM 3D printer. The work could offer an overview about basic 3D printing technologies after reading. More information could be read about FDM technology, which is used in our printer, also with description of all important components. The furthest is discussed about electronic drives. If reader is interested in this topic, part of this thesis is schematic design of control electronics, which can be used to build own boards. Design of printed circuit boards is not present in attachment and can be obtained by contacting the author. For own control is used one of the open source control software. Mechanical problems and also mechanical design is done in parallel thesis by other student of Faculty of mechanical engineering

    Historical regulation of Victoria's water sector: A case of government failure?

    No full text
    This paper analyses the role of government failure in Victoria’s water sector between 1905 and 1984 as evidenced in the rise of in-stream salinity. It will be shown that high levels of salinity can, in part, be attributed to regulatory failure for two reasons. First, the method of water allocation, a compulsory minimum charge with the marginal cost of water being zero, encouraged over watering, resulting in increased water tables via groundwater recharge. Second, the government did not provide adequate finance for construction of appropriate removal of saline drainage water, and thereby allowed increasing in-stream salinity.externalities, government failure, institutions, salinity, Resource /Energy Economics and Policy,

    Reconstruction and Development of a 3D Printer Using FDM Technology

    AbstractThis study, we detail the constructional selection of a machine, which operates with FDM technology. We outline the milestones of the reconstruction of the printer, the restoration of the technical documentations (Reverse Engineering), and then the calibrations and the measurement results. Based on what we have learned from the construction, we started to design our own FDM printer, which is a compact, user demand-driven device
