Films are sensitive to ultraviolet rays and in contrast, digital camera sensors are extremely sensitive to infrared rays due to the differences in spectral characteristics. As a result, all digital cameras that use CCD or CMOS are equipped with IR Cut-Off Filter on the overall sensor. Complete block out of infrared rays is ideal, but the actual experiment results showed that infrared rays were not being blocked out completely. Infrared permeability was also different for each camera. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the effect of the minute quantities of infrared rays, which get transmitted due to mechanical properties of IR Cut-Off Filters that are installed on digital cameras, on digital picture images. The results obtained by carrying out a comparative analysis of a UV Filter (infrared transmitting state) and a UV-IR Filter (infrared blocked out state) are as follows. It was confirmed that the minute quantities of infrared rays do affect dynamic range and resolution to some extent, despite the little or no difference in noise and color reproduction.

We investigate the optical and electrical properties of silver nanofilms deposited on transparent substrates such as quartz, sapphire, and slide glass treated with (3-mercaptopropyl) trimethoxysilane (MPTMS). The effect of MPTMS treatment on physical properties is studied through scanning electron microscope (SEM) images, UV-visible transmission, and current-voltage measurements. The SEM images show morphology change of the silver nanofilm, and the UV-visible transmission spectra reveal that the localized surface-plasmon resonance effect is reduced due to the morphology change. These results imply that the uniformity of silver nanofilm is improved by MPTMS treatment for various transparent substrates, resulting in a 100-fold decrease in the electrical resistance of the silver nanofilm.

We have developed an efficient method for the generation of patterned fluorescence images using a protected precursor molecule. The t-Boc-protecting group of a coumarin derivative was readily removed from a polymer film upon irradiation with UV light in the presence of a photoacid generator to provide the original properties of the coumarin. Fine fluorescence patterns were obtained when using this photolithographic method.

We present a novel photo-addressable electronic paper using an electrophoretic device, which can show and sustain the 2D images transferred by the UV illumination. The device consists of the organic photoconducting layer reacting with the UV illumination and the electronic ink (white particles and blue dye) dispersing in a suspending medium. The voltage impression under illuminating of UV make an image be transferred to the electrophoretic cell. The transferred image can be maintained by the bistability of the electrophoretic device.

$CeO_2$ nanorings were synthesized by using a surfactant free hydrothermal method. The surface morphology, structural and optical properties of the synthesized $CeO_2$ was investigated by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and ultraviolet-visible (UV) spectroscopy measurements. SEM images showed that the surface morphology of the formed $CeO_2$ appeared as nanorings. The XRD pattern of $CeO_2$ nanorings showed the presence of the polycrystalline $CeO_2$ phase readily indexed to the cubic fluorite structure of the $CeO_2$. The mean crystallite size of the $CeO_2$ was calculated using the Scherrer equation from the XRD line broadening of the (111) planes of the cubic $CeO_2$. The UV-Visible spectroscopy spectrum of the $CeO_2$ nanorings exhibited a strong UV absorption band around 350 nm.

Diamonds have been widely employed as polishing media for precise machining and noble substrates for microelectronics. The recent development of the split sphere press has led to the enhancement of low quality natural diamonds. Synthesized and treated diamonds are sometimes traded deceptively as high quality natural diamonds because it is hard to distinguish among these diamonds with conventional gemological characterization method. Therefore, we need to develop a new identification method that is non-destructive, fast, and inexpensive. We proposed using new methods of UV fluorescence and X-ray Lang topography for checking the local HPHT stress field to distinguish these diamonds from natural ones. We observe unique differences in the local stress field images in treated diamonds using UV fluorescence and Lang topography characterization. Our result implies that our proposed methods may be appropriate for identification of the treated diamonds.

In this paper, it's described the techniques for the analysis of corona generated in open live parts of electric facilities. At needle-plane electrodes, when the voltage increased($0{\sim}70kV$, ramping 10kV) using the high voltage generation system(HIPOTRINICS $0{\sim}200kV$, USA), it's generated the partial discharge. There are compared between UV detected image and PD quantity. As these results, UV areas and gains are normalized. And electric facilities are evaluated the 5 steps such as 'good', 'recognition', 'check', 'inspection', 'change(replacement)'.

The synthesis and characterization of polymers for organic Metal/Insulator/Metal(MIM) devices were investigated from LB films. The physicochemical properties of the LB films were examined by UV absorption spectrum and AFM. The AFM images showed for network structure of polyurethane monolayer that the film formed an unsymmetry mesh with intermolecular interaction within the large scale. The stable images are probably due to a strong interaction between the monolayer film and Si substrate. We are unable to obtain molecular resolution in images of the films but did see a marked contrast between images of the bare substrate and those with the network structure film deposited onto it.

In this paper, a fast human detection method using adaptive UV-histogram and template matching is proposed. The proposed method improves the detection rate in the scene of complex environment. The method firstly generates U-histogram to extract human candidates and adaptively generates V-histogram for each labled U-histogram, thus it could extract humans correctly, which was impossible in the previous method. The method tries to match the human candidates with the adaptively sized omega shape template to the focal length and distance in order to improve the detection accuracy. It also detects false positives by rematching the template with accumulated foreground images and hence is robust to the occlusion. Experimental results showed that the proposed method has superior performance to the Bae's method in the complex environment with about 15% improvement in precision and 80% in recall and has 20 times faster processing time than Xia's method.

In this study, we investigate the potential use of $TiO_2@SiO_2$ and $ZnO@SiO_2$ core/shell nanoparticles (NPs) as effective UV shielding agent. In the typical synthesis, $SiO_2$ was coated over different types of $TiO_2$ (anatase and rutile) and ZnO by sol-gel method. The synthesized $TiO_2@SiO_2$ and $ZnO@SiO_2$ NPs were characterized by UV-Vis, XRD, SEM and TEM. The UV-vis absorbance and transmittance spectra of core@shell NPs showed an efficient blocking effect in the UV region and more than 90% transmittance in the visible region. XRD and SAED studies confirmed the formation of amorphous $SiO_2$ coated over the $TiO_2$ and ZnO NPs. The FESEM and TEM images shows that coating of $SiO_2$ over the surface of anatase, rutile $TiO_2$ and ZnO NPs resulted in the increase in particle size by ~30 nm. In order to study the UV light shielding capability of the samples, photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue dye on $TiO_2@SiO_2$ and $ZnO@SiO_2$ NPs was performed. Photocatalytic activity for both types of $TiO_2$ NPs was partially suppressed. In comparison, the photocatalytic activity of ZnO almost vanished after the $SiO_2$ coating.
