Planetary Parasite
Most parasites use a single living being as their host, which they use to grow, develop their bodies, and finally create many new parasites which will invade another host. These guys, however, will employ a whole planet as their host. Just as our parasites feed on our nutrients to grow, these guys will deplete the planet of its natural resources (this is likely to bring bad consequences for the planet's inhabitants), and use them to complete its reproductive cycle, spawning more of its race. Once the cycle has been completed, the newborn will somehow leave the planet to find another one, where they will start a new cycle. Destroying the planet when leaving it is optional. Compare Planet Eater, where the parasite consumes the planet just to obtain nutrients and does not require it to reproduce, and Planet Looters, which are more similar to thieves than to parasites.
ExamplesAnime and Manga
- The Big Gete Star from the Dragon Ball Z movie The Revenge Of Cooler probably counts, since it was a mechanical life form that was trying to absorb New Namek.
- The Tree of Might from the movie of the same name is another such example, though it devouring the Earth is only a means to harvest its fruit.
- In Toriko, the entire Gourmet World was spawned by such a parasite. A meteorite infused with Gourmet Cells struck the original planet Earth long ago. The Gourmet Cells fed off the energy of Earth's mantle and grew new landmass. Gourmet World is a giant tumor that dwarfs its host.
- We have this with Kill la Kill in the form of life fibers, although it is more like virus than a parasite, in that it involves them cocooning the Earth and causing it to explode, spreading even more life fibers to other planets, the which being facilitated by Ragyou Kiryuuin.
- In the Marvel Comics Alternate future Earth X, it's revealed that Celestials gestate their young inside of planets, and genetically manipulate the dominant species to turn them into superpowered protectors for their child.
- In 52, one of the possible futures that Rip Hunter foresees (and successfully averts) involves Mr. Mind spawning 52 giant extradimensional parasites that feed off the mental energies of entire universes.
- Drachicar from Sailor Moon Z hatched from the planet Odysseus
- Perry Rhodan has the Guan a Var or "sun worms", whose natural habitat is hyperspace. They drain entire stars of their energy at a frightening rate (three of them are seen to burn through the reserves of one star with an inhabited system in a matter of mere days, though that was admittedly after millennia of imprisonment and starvation), reproduce, and move on once the star has gone supernova or otherwise become useless (to both them and pretty much anyone else). They're also, despite being descended from once highly intelligent organic starships, basically just dumb animals that can't even perceive the effects of their actions because their senses no longer extend into normal space.
- H.P. Lovecraft (of course) had the Dholes, titanic worm-things which burrowed beneath worlds to slowly devour them from the inside-out and multiply until nothing but a shattered husk was left. Fortunately, the closest they got to Earth is the Dreamlands.
- The Star Trek novel "Prime Directive" gets points for parasitic complexity with a three-species symbiosis: Species A secretly bases on worlds which emit radio transmissions, feeds the Cold War paranoia of the locals through UFO sightings and signal manipulation until the hapless natives nuke each other, then seeds the newly-radioactive environment with Species B, an algae which uses gamma rays the way most plants use sunlight. Species A's signals eventually bring Species C, an immense spacefaring cloud which consumes the algae, and then provides A with transportation and life-support on the way to the next target. The unlucky world is left an irradiated wasteland with much of its organic chemistry sucked away. Spock identifies all three species as non-sapient, and determines that the time needed to evolve their incredibly complex behavior proves they are relics of a prior iteration of the universe.
- Blake's 7: Zil is one of a humanoid species of parasites who live on the surface of a living planet called "Host."
- The Giga Shadow of Lexx spent thousands of years regenerating under the surface of the Cluster world, as well as ruling the Light Universe through His Shadow and feeding on the Human Sacrifices given by his loyal followers.
- Doctor Who: The 6th Doctor episode "The Twin Dilemma" featured the Gastropods, a race of nearly indestructible creatures who devastated entire planets, but whose eggs couldn't hatch unless seared by a supernova first, limiting their spread.
- In Kamen Rider Gaim, the Helheim Forest proves to spread its seeds like wildfire, and there is a very real threat that if the dimensional portals aren't closed, this invasive species could end up turning Earth into a new Helheim. We know because this is what happened in the formerly-Earthlike world now known as Helheim. Oh, and the monsters used to be that world's people and animals, as anything that eats the fruit of the plants becomes an Inves monster and ends up spreading the seeds further still. Earth has ten years left.
- Call of Cthulhu boxed set Spawn of Azathoth. If a Seed of Azathoth strikes a planet, it can penetrate it and grow into a Spawn of Azathoth the size of a star. All that's left of the planet is shattered ruins. The former fifth planet of the solar system suffered this fate: its remains are the Asteroid Belt.
- Star Fleet Battles. Starswarm robots burrow into planets and use raw materials underground to create more robots. Once enough new robots are made, the swarm leaves the planet and heads into space.
- The Parasite from Evolva. A giant egg comes to the planet, develops lots of tentacles, creates an army of aliens, and uses the planet's resources to make new eggs, supposedly to send them to other planets.
- Lavos from Chrono Trigger. Similar to the previous example, but he doesn't create an alien army, is instead exploited by the planet's mages (doesn't end well), and we get to fight some of the offspring before they're launched to other planets.
- The Old Gods from Warcraft are planetary parasites that merge themselves to a planet and slowly corrupt it. Whether this would eventually destroy the planet is unknown, as the Old Gods on Azeroth were sealed away by the Titans (they could not be killed, having already corrupted the planet to such a degree that removing them would've required the destruction of Azeroth).
- Jenova from Final Fantasy VII.
- Metroid Prime 3 reveals that the origin of Phazon is a possibly-sentient planet known as Phaaze, and that it sends seeds over to other planets in order to infest them with Phazon.
- Master of Orion II had the space eel, a space monster that would target planets to use as spawning ground. Left to its own devices, eventually you'd end up with two space eels.
- The Mycon's "Deep Children" from Star Control 2 are dropped from orbit, burrow their way down to the mantle of a planet, grow tendrils throughout the planet, then start tearing holes in the planet's crust, turning it into a lava world (or Juffo-wup as they call it). The whole process takes about a year.
- The over-arching plot of the UFO After Blank series revolves entirely around these. Their mating rituals, the chaos they've caused for humanity and other aliens whose planets they've infested and the attempts of various factions to control them for their own nefarious purposes.
- The Black Sand Bar: The World Eater.
- The Dark One Worm from Super Robot Monkey Team Hyper Force Go. It's also implied that there are other members of its species on other planets.

The invention relates to a device for producing a three-dimensional object by solidification of a material, in particular a photopolymer, solidifiable under the action of electromagnetic radiation by means of energy input via an imaging unit comprising a predetermined number of discrete imaging elements (pixels). In particular, this invention relates to methods in which solidification is based on the exposure by means of a raster mask, with the smallest physical resolution in the mask given by the size of a pixel and the Spatial Light Modulator (SLM) technology being applied to the imaging unit.
The literature specifies highly varying methods for the construction of three-dimensional objects of "light-hardening" photopolymers, cf. "Automated Fabrication—Improving Productivity in Manufacturing" by Marshall Burns, 1993 (ISBN 0-13-119462-3).
Known possibilities are, inter alia, the exposure by
These methods are described in the following patents:
US Patent US005247180A "Stereolithographic Apparatus and Method of use" by Texas Instruments Inc., September 1993;
US Patent US005980813A "Rapid Prototyping using multiple materials" by SRI International, November 1999;
Utility model publication DE G 93 19 405.6 "Device for the production of a three-dimensional object (model) according to the principle of photo solidification" by the Research Center Informatics at the University of Karlsruhe, December 1993;
According to a similar method, the utility model publication DE 299 11 122 U1 "Device for producing a three-dimensional object", DeltaMed inter alia, June 1999 describes an application for the generation of micro-technical, three-dimensional components.
EP 1250997A (=US2002155189A) "Device for producing a three-dimensional object" by Envision Technologies GmbH, April 2002.
German Patent DE69909136T "Rapid Prototyping Device and Rapid Prototyping Method", July 2003 (equivalent: European Patent EP 1156922 "Rapid Prototyping Apparatus and Method of Rapid Prototyping", August 2003) of DICON AS Lystrup, Denmark.
With laser-based systems for photo-polymerization, the light output in the exposure point is provided by the energy setting of the laser beam, whereby the hardening depth of the solidifiable material, such as the photopolymer, can be controlled in that point.
For selective hardening, the laser beam is scanned over the cross-sectional area to be correspondingly hardened.
The contours of the cross-sectional area to be hardened can be scanned by the laser beam as a curve.
A cross-sectional area is typically exposed at once with systems for photo-polymerization based on mask projection by means of projection systems, especially with the SLM technology. The white areas of the projected image harden the solidifiable material (normally a photopolymer); the black areas do not. The contours of the cross-sectional area to be hardened can only be presented in rasters; the resolution depends on the number of image points or, respectively, pixels and on the size of the projected image.
With the above mentioned WO 01/00390 A, the intensity of beams is controlled by controlling the permeability of the mask, wherein the intensity may be controlled via the selection of gray levels of a transmission LCD. An allocation by different intensities is, however, performed with respect to a layer only depending on whether solidified regions are underneath or not. There is no mentioning in WO 01/00390 of an adjustment and/or a control of an energy input in a voxel matrix as according to the present invention. The present invention deals with resolution and fine adjustment in a voxel matrix; while grey level gradation depending on whether an underneath hardened layer is absent or present for connection is not required in the present invention.
In WO 2005/110722 A, a multiple exposure is carried out on the subpixel level for improving the resolution along the outside and inside contours of the cross-sectional areas of the object to be generated, said exposure consisting of a sequence of a plurality of images offset on the subpixel level in the image/building plane, wherein a separate mask/bitmap is generated for every offset image. A gray level adjustment is taken into account for the contour pixels obtained by the subpixel offset. There is neither any mentioning in WO 2005/110722 A of an adjustment and/or a control of an energy input in a voxel matrix as according to the present invention.
Neither WO 01/00390 A nor WO 2005/110722 show how the resolution and the fine adjustment in the image plane can be improved, and how native inhomogeneities of the light source can be balanced better.
It is the object of the invention to improve device and method for the production of a three-dimensional object by solidification of a material solidifiable under the action of electromagnetic radiation, by means of energy input via an imaging unit comprising a predetermined number of discrete imaging elements (pixels) so that a higher precision, higher resolution and fine adjustment and/or a higher homogeneity of the system will be realized.
In a first embodiment, the invention provides a device for the production of a three-dimensional object by solidification of a material solidifiable under the action of electromagnetic radiation by means of energy input via an imaging unit comprising a predetermined number of discrete imaging elements (pixels), said device comprising a computer unit, an IC and/or a software implementation respectively with the ability of adjusting and/or controlling the energy input via a specific gray value and/or color value.
It has been found to be particularly advantageous to selectively adjust and/or control the energy input via a specific grey value and/or color value in a voxel matrix. Further preferably, a raster mask (bitmap) is used without pixel shift.
In the present invention, the term voxel matrix means a rastered arrangement of solidified voxels (volume pixels), wherein a voxel images an image point of a pixel matrix, and the hardening depth per voxel depends on the energy input per image point.
In a preferred development of the first embodiment, the capability for adjusting and/or controlling a specific gray value and/or color value can be advantageously provided specifically and individually per pixel.
In a second embodiment, the invention further provides a device for the production of a three-dimensional object by means of solidification of a material solidifiable under the action of electromagnetic radiation by means of energy input via a raster imaging unit comprising a predetermined number of discrete imaging elements (pixels) arranged as a dot, a line or as a matrix, wherein the imaging unit composes the image from the pixels and thus forms a raster mask (bitmap), wherein the imaging unit is designed such that at least one part of the pixels can be allocated to more than two energy levels for a variable energy input. Also in this second embodiment, it has been found to be particularly advantageous to selectively adjust and/or control the energy input via a specific grey value and/or color value in a voxel matrix. Further preferably, a raster mask (bitmap) is used without pixel shift.
The allocation is suitably provided by the supply or, respectively, provision of more than two energy levels per bitmap and preferably specifically per pixel. In a preferred development of the second embodiment, the design of the imaging unit can be advantageously such that the allocation or, respectively, the classification of pixels into the more than two energy levels can be provided specifically and individually per pixel.
The more than two energy levels preferably include:
a1) ON and OFF states, by an essentially complete energy transmission (white) or, respectively, by an essentially complete energy blocking without energy transmission (black), in transmissive systems (especially with light valves); or
a2) ON and OFF states, by an essentially complete energy reflection into the optical axis (white in the projection image) or, respectively, by an essentially complete reflection out of the optical axis into an optical absorber (black in the projection image), in reflexive systems (in particular in a Digital Micromirror Device [DMD] or a Liquid Crystal on Silicon [LCoS] for digital light processing [DLP]); and additionally
b1) a predetermined, desired number of gray levels, or
b2) a predetermined, desired number of color values. The color values can represent a color tone and/or a color density or, respectively, intensity.
In accordance with the invention, the adjustment or setting via color values in comparison with gray values can be particularly advantageous because a significantly better fine adjustment will then be possible, specifically in relation to the photopolymer correspondingly used.
In a preferred development of the first and second embodiments, the imaging unit of the device can be included in a projection unit. The imaging unit is typically designed such that the number of pixels is constant and is arranged in the plane in a mutually spatially fixed manner.
In a preferred development of the first and second embodiments, the imaging unit can be the device of the type of an emitting dot, an emitting line or an emitting matrix. A resolution improvement is particularly achieved when the imaging unit comprises a Spatial Light Modulator (SLM) or light valves in MEMS technology or LEDs.
The present invention furthermore provides a method for the production of a three-dimensional object by means of solidifying a material solidifiable under the action of electromagnetic radiation by means of energy input via an imaging unit comprising a predetermined number of discrete imagining elements (pixels), wherein the light output for solidification of the material is controlled for at least a part of the pixels via a defined gray value and/or color value. Due to this measure, the depth of penetration of the electromagnetic radiation for solidifying the material can be advantageously set significantly finer and variable and precisely per pixel by selectively adjusting and/or controlling the energy input via a specific grey value and/or color value in a voxel matrix, preferably a raster mask (bitmap) being used without pixel shift.
Information on gray value and/or color value can be stored in the raster image (bitmap) per image point (pixel).
In a preferred embodiment of the method according to the invention, the exposure mask or, respectively, the image will be projected by means of a projection unit into the building plane for the solidification of the material.
In a preferred embodiment of the device and the method according to the invention, a compensation mask is generated with gray values for the entire projection image on the basis of the measured native light output distribution, said compensation mask causing, in a superposition to the bitmap generated for the solidification, a homogeneous distribution of the light output over the entire projection image. The homogeneity of the light output distribution will thus be considerably improved. When the measurement of the native light output distribution occurs in the projection image of the building plane, the generation of the compensation mask can occur independently of the bitmap generated in the building process and thus involves not only exposed but also unexposed surfaces.
In a preferred embodiment of the method according to the invention, the gray values in the compensation mask are interpolated between the measuring points, thus a more uniform gray value distribution is achieved over the entire compensation mask.
In a particularly preferred embodiment of the device and the method according to the invention, it is determined which pixels are overlapped how much by the graphics. Depending on the result of this determination, a correspondingly weighted gray value or a specific color value will be allocated pixel—specifically. Due to this measure, the resolution can be significantly improved for very fine structures. Alternatively or additionally, these measures take into account antialiasing in rastering a contour line, thus eliminating or, respectively, reducing the so-called aliasing artifacts in the edge/contour areas which develop with the rastering of vector graphics—here of the cross-sectional structure to be exposed.
According to the invention, multiple exposure and/or a subpixel offset is not desired in this case.
In another, particularly preferred embodiment of the device and the method according to the invention, different areas of various area expansion will be identified in a cross-sectional image which was generated for solidification. The pixels of the respectively identified areas are allocated or provided with uniform gray values and/or color values so that gray value and/or color value extend over the corresponding areas. Thus, for example, larger area structures can be darkened according to their expansion, whereas smaller area structures are radiated lighter. Thus, a uniform hardening depth will be obtained over the entire cross-sectional image and thus over the entire area to be exposed.
In a preferred embodiment of the device and the method according to the invention, increased hardening of selected areas will occur through the single or multiple exposure of a voxel matrix, by providing a corresponding gray value/color value allocation within the voxel matrix. The hardening depth in the selected areas, which are allocated without or with a lower grey value/color value, is preferably several-fold, i.e. at least the three-fold, preferably at the least the four-fold, and further preferred by at least the five-fold of the hardening depth of the remaining areas.
In a preferred embodiment of the device and the method according to the invention, information regarding the gray Value and/or the color value per image point (pixel) is calculated online on a current basis for each raster image (bitmap).
Device and method according to the invention allow to improve the homogeneity of the light output distribution. Specifically, light output control by means of gray levels and/or color values on the macroscopic level or specifically at the pixel level on the microscopic level can improve the imaging performance by a bitmapping that determines a voxel matrix. Imaging losses can be reduced which are caused by a pure ON/OFF (BLACK/WHITE) raster. The resolution performance in the building plane is improved without having to increase the resolution of the imaging unit. Thus, the quality of the constructed component will be improved overall with regard to surface smoothness, accuracy of details, and tolerances.
Particularly in projection systems with SLM technology, the light output distribution over the image surface can be significantly improved (versus a conventional inhomogeneous distribution of possibly up to 50% in absolute terms). Accordingly, compared with the state of the art, the dependence or, respectively, the influence is reduced by means of the invention, with regard to a) the light source used; b) the optical system for coupling the light energy (specifically to the SLM) and c) the vignetting of the projection optics.
Even if the properties of the light source will change over time, this can be corrected according to the invention so that variable errors and changing homogeneity distributions can be compensated. If desired, even constant errors—which can be caused by the optical system for coupling the light energy to the SLM and the projection optics—can be prevented with the invention by compensating any homogeneity deviations.
If desired, with the concept according to the invention, the problem can also be dealt with that the light intensity varies depending on the size of the exposed area structure (higher light intensity with larger, contiguous areas, lower light intensity with small, filigree area structures) which is why—without the measure according to the invention—the inhomogeneity of the light output distribution in the projected image can result in corresponding deviations in the hardening depth of the photopolymer and thus in errors/deviations, imprecisions in the component upon the application of mask projection by means of the SLM technology.
By means of the gray level control and/or the color value control, the light output distribution can be adjusted over the overall image (gray mask compensation), i.e. a macro-adjustment, but as well as on a pixel level, i.e. a micro-adjustment, but without changing the native condition of the light source and/or the imaging optics. Micro-adjustment is best done selectively, i.e. depending on the cross-sectional structure to be imaged, and during the generation of the bitmap of the cross sectional area for the voxel matrix currently produced.
Furthermore, a significantly better fine adjustment of the energy input can be achieved by means of the measure of allocating at least a part of the pixels more than two energy levels, providing, particularly in addition to the normal ON and OFF states (white/black), additional energy levels by a predetermined number of gray levels, preferably by a predetermined number of color values.
By means of the invention, operating conditions, particularly the hardening depth, also can be largely kept constant over the entire cross-sectional imaging structure, or can be specifically selectively manipulated for the purpose of overexposure or underexposure of selected areas, which will result in an improvement of the quality of the constructed component. A better resolution and a better fine adjustment will be achieved especially if the following are comprised as parameters for overexposure or underexposure:
Also, deviations can be compensated which are caused e.g. by aging of the light source or other optical errors.
The gray level control and/or the color value control can be technically performed most suitably entirely by software. A computer unit such as a CPU, an IC and/or a software implementation respectively with the corresponding function can be used as suitable elements for this purpose. The system can thus be used very flexibly and for all mask projection systems based on SML technology.
Another major advantage is that the selective, pixel-precise light output adjustment can be provided, independent of the exposure time, by the gray level and/or color level control. Thus, the exposure time can advantageously remain constant for all bitmaps.
The invention will be described in more detail on the basis of further exemplary embodiments with reference to the attached Figures; however, the invention is by no means limited to the described embodiments and examples and drawings but can instead comprise any variations and modifications within the scope of the claims.
In the illustrated embodiment, the building of the three-dimensional object 3 is carried out in layers. However, the building can be alternatively carried out independently from layers. Other design options are possible. For example, the hardening process can be carried out continuously without layers; discontinuously (either with same or different or variable layer thicknesses); partially continuously and partially discontinuously (discontinuously either with same or different or variable layer thicknesses); or in a combination of various possibilities. As an example,
The device and process according to the present invention is particularly suitable for building a three-dimensional object independent from layers.
With a method based on photo-polymerization, the light radiation necessary for hardening will be projected into the processing plane. Exposure will be effected by means of a multimedia projector. The image is here composed of individual image points (pixels) to a so-called bitmap. The bitmap mask will be formed by a Spatial Light Modulator, wherein the pixels are arranged in a mutually spatially fixed manner in the plane. A currently typical, exemplary resolution for such semiconductor elements is SXGA+, 1400�1050 pixels.
Macro-adjustment concerns the balancing of native deviations in the light output distribution over the entire image area, which are caused by the optical system or, respectively, its error, by means of a gray or color mask compensation.
For this, multiple measuring values are recorded uniformly distributed over the entire image surface, and a compensation mask of gray values or color values is calculated, said compensation mask being laid over or superposed on each individually projected bitmap mask.
Due to this method, the homogeneity is improved at least by a factor of two.
The measurements can be either manually recorded or determined via a sensor matrix.
Simple tiling can be used with the compensation mask (
Micro-adjustment concerns obtaining the most faithful image of the cross-sectional area to be projected with the maximum precision and to also keep the exposure and hardening parameters over the structure to be exposed either constant or to influence them specifically and pixel-precisely by gray-value or color-value controlled overexposure or underexposure.
Pixel-Precise Adjustment of Gray Values with Structures Smaller than 3�3 Pixels to be Exposed in the Imaging Plane
With a structural size of 1.5�1.5 pixels, it can happen here that—due to an unfavorable pixel/bitmap distribution or, respectively raster with a purely black/white conversion—either only one pixel or even 3�3 pixels are switched white. With yet smaller structures in 1 pixel size, a complete loss of the structure to be imaged in the bitmap can even occur.
To prevent this, each pixel is allocated a corresponding gray value depending on the degree of overlapping by the structure to be imaged. This comes to bear especially in the contour area of the structure.
The principle is here presented on the basis of a structure which comprises small holes as well as small cylinders of various sizes (diameter 200, 500 and 1000 μm) (
From the resolution of the raster—here 1280�1024 pixels—and the size of the structural field—here 317.5�254 mm—a pixel size of 248 μm will result.
It should be noted that the smallest structure is here smaller than one pixel!
By means of two different bitmapping strategies, the improvement through gray value or color value adjustment will be shown:
Bitmapping Strategy with Purely Black/White Pixels
The bitmap thus generated (
The reason is that with these structures, which do not appear in the bitmap, no pixel will be covered by more than 50%, depending on their position in the raster.

Here, the antialiasing effect already known in digital image processing will be utilized.
A known problem of rasterization is the alias effect. If a gray value depth of more than 1 bit is available for the raster graphics to be generated, this effect can be reduced by means of "edge smoothing" (antialiasing). Different B/W filter methods are available for this.
With antialiasing of the bitmap output, the so-called aliasing artifacts, an effect of aliasing, will be removed which occur in the raster of a vector graphic (here the cross-sectional structure to be exposed (
When drawing a line, only horizontal and vertical lines can be drawn without any problem whose line thickness is a multiple of the pixel space and whose starting and end point lies on a pixel. If a line is somewhat inclined, aliasing artifacts will inevitably occur. The same also happens with all round/free forms. The effect will become all the more pronounced, the coarser the resolution.
In antialiasing of vector graphics, it is taken into account which pixels are crossed over how much by the graphics; and they are provided with a correspondingly weighted gray value. The pixels are here usually viewed as squares. The more of the pixel surface is covered by the graphics, the lighter the gray value of the pixel will be adjusted. Special software filters are used for implementation.
By this method, the hardening behavior of the material will finally also be accordingly influenced, and a higher precision is thus achieved in the final component.
The imaging imprecision of the projection optics and the photopolymer can additionally exercise a deep pass filter function which can result, on the one hand, in a further smoothing effect of the component surface, but, on the other hand, also in a more imprecise component or, respectively, in a loss of detail.
Hardening Depth with Large Surface Structures Versus Filigree Cross-Sectional Structures
With larger structure areas, more light output per area is available than with filigree structures; this phenomenon results in different hardening in xy-extension (beyond the contour) and z-extension (depth).
If, for example, a 10 mm�10 mm large surface is exposed once, it will harden e.g. to a thickness of 130 μm; however, with the same exposure time, a structure of 2 mm�10 mm will harden only 100 μm. If the component is now built for example in 100 μm layers or in a corresponding voxel matrix, it may happen that, in the filigree portion, the generated solidified material will not enter into sufficient chemical bonding through overexposure (130 μm depth hardening up to 30% into the preceding layer), that the hardened material will be separated in this portion, and that the component is defective. This phenomenon is particularly critical with filigree supporting structures.
Based on special algorithms, structures of different area expansions will be identified in the cross-sectional image and will be allocated pixel-precisely to corresponding gray values to obtain a uniform hardening depth (Z) and extension (XY) over the entire structural area to be exposed (larger area structures will here be darkened according to their extension).
Higher Green Compact Hardness with Massive Structures/Higher Material Accumulations within One Component
With some components, there are volume portions with an accumulation of material whose wall thickness on the one hand exceeds the maximum possible hardening depth of the material in post-hardening or which are in a position within the component not reached by light energy or only to a limited extent in the post-hardening process.
Already during the generating process, such volume portions can achieve a higher green compact hardness by being specifically overexposed. This can be carried out by corresponding gray value or color value allocations in a voxel matrix, wherein the hardening depth in Z preferably exceeds a normal hardening depth several-fold.
For all applications described above, the bitmap mask/exposure mask can contain information on black/white, gray value, and or color information by which the exposure energy will be controlled. The individually described embodiments and examples can be combined in any way with each other.

Every discovery opened a new field of investigation leading to further breakthroughs. Louis Pasteur's life's work can be divided into three main parts. Chemistry and the observation of crystals led him to study fermentation. And this led to his disproving of the spontaneous generation theory, a key discovery which opened the doors to microbiology and vaccination.
In 1847 Louis Pasteur, a young chemist freshly graduated from the prestigious Ecole normale supérieure, attempted to understand why two seemingly identical chemical substances affect polarized light differently.
Louis Pasteur's work raised a new set of research questions, such as "Where do fermentation agents come from ?" and " Do they originate from germs similar to themselves or do they appear spontaneously as explained by the spontaneous generation theory? "
Between the age of 55 and 65 Louis Pasteur developed microbiology, applying it to medicine and surgery. Having established that diseases were caused by microorganisms, he then sought to identify and find a means of fighting them. His finest accomplishment was rabies.

Local Port Scanner1.2.2
editor's review
1 comment
Computer security remains one of the main concerns for most users connected to the Internet, especially when thinking that the number of available infections grows at a very fast pace every day.
Local Port Scanner comes to put an end to all these concerns, planning to help every user out there add a new security layer to their computers.
The program does such a simple yet important thing: it scans the computer for open ports and provides valuable information regarding each of them. Since Local Port Scanner has been designed to serve both beginners and experienced users, it comes with a very simple interface to reach its goal.
The software provides multiple scanning modes, depending on your options, as it follows: trojan scan, stealth scan, quick scan, ICMP scan, full TCP scan, full UDP scan and a user defined scan.
Each of the aforementioned modes are designed to check for the ports used by the most popular infections living out there in the wild, so you will know for sure if your computer is exposed to risks or not. Plus, you'll know exactly what to do in order to block a certain type of infection.
The 'Options' menu enables you to activate background scanning to check for open ports without hindering in any way the operation of the computer. The scanning process goes very fast and smooth, at least it went so during our tests, while computer performance wasn't affected at all.
All in all, Local Port Scanner is quite a handy tool if you wish to know whether your computer is exposed to risks or not. Light on system resources and very easy to use, this app is surely one of the best choices from its category.

Costa Favolosa Cruise Review by bandanna: First cruise but very pleasantly surprised, fantastic ship

Compare Prices on Costa Favolosa Europe - Eastern Mediterranean Cruises
First cruise but very pleasantly surprised, fantastic ship
After reading the reviews on this website I was expecting the worse. This was my first ever cruise, but my partners 3rd or 4th, however we paid an absolute bargain price so we didn't mind all the bad reviews we had read, we knew we couldn't complain and still looked forward to it.
We expected poor food and bad service...
however we were totally surprised. Even my partner who had been on a couple of cruises before was pleased with everything.
The ship itself was decorated very high quality...yes the decor was over the top, but that's what I expected from cruises, it was still all very high quality finishings. The cabin was nice and spacious. It did take a while to find our way around the ship but it was easy once figured out.
The service was fantastic. We went to the restaurant every evening and the waiters could not have done more for us, they made our trip (thanks Dennis!). The shows in the restaurant were a nice surprise and made the holiday special. We were More served quickly, and we could order as much as we wanted so I don't know how people can complain about quantity. The quality was also excellent too.
We quickly found our favourite bar which we went to every evening, with a fantastic pianist on called Alex. The bars were all impressive and every night some sort of food was brought round at midnight.
All the ports were perfect, with enough time in each, and there was no problem getting on and off. Dubrovnik was our only port which required a tenure boat and this all happened very smoothly.
We went on one organised trip to Ephesus, this was also fantastic and went completely smoothly. The guide was absolutely brilliant.
To sum up, this was everything I expected from a cruise and much more. The food, service, ports and ship itself were all better than I expected, a complete luxury experience.
I will definitely travel with Costa again (I hope!). Less

I found this dress to be true to size; I usually wear a size 6 and the 6 gown fit perfectly Unfortunately, I chose a different gown in lighter color in a size 6 which didn't fit at all. I returned to Dillard's to find the one I had returned but some lucky person had already purchased it. The service I received from Dillard's was exemplary as my dresses arrived in perfect shape and in a timely manner. I am still out there looking for another gown as they now don't have my size nor the same lovely color.

Beautiful, but...

Comments about Ignite Evenings Ruched Asymmetric-Tiered Gown with Wrap:
Perfect purple color. Loved the asymmetric-tiers. Did not care for the wrap would prefer light airy shrug. Now the length, etc. I am a petite size of 4'11" and It does not come in petite. In order to keep and wear this dress, it would have had to altered in the shoulder straps by 2" or more and hemmed up several inches - possible 6-8 inches. I sent it back.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Absolutely perfect!
By Step-Mother of the Bride
from Texas
Looking for a dress for my step-daughter's wedding and found this one online. The plum color was perfect but not available in my size. Visited local Dillards to see if they had the dress and found it in another color. I tried it on and fell in love with the style and beauty of the dress, but the color wasn't right. The next day I decided to check again and voila! The plum dress was available in the right size. Ordered on Saturday, had the dress on Monday. Fits perfectly (except for length - I'm 5'3"). It is gorgeous!!
Love the beading in the bodice

See all my reviews
The beading on the bodice adds the perfect amount of sparkle. The rushed hides your tummy. The tiered fabric makes it flow, adds movement, and gives it a very pretty look. The sand color is flattering to my complexion. Makes me feel like a Princess. I think it will be great for ballroom dancing and any special occasion. It was the perfect length for me.

I just purchased this dress for my daughter's upcoming wedding. I fell in love with it when I saw it online, but was skeptical about purchasing the dress because I'm not one that usually buy clothes without trying them on first. But I decided to take a chance and I'm glad that I did. It is a perfect fit and very flattering. I can hardly wait to wear it.
Love it!!!
By Kristen MOB
from Bakersfield, ca
Bought this as my Mother of the Bride dress for April. Love this dress. Perfect for me. I am 5'6" wearing 1 1/2 " heels. The length is perfect. However if you are taller or wear taller heels you may find it too short. Otherwise true to color, truly gorgeous dress! Also received within 3 days of ordering!

Cross talk between NADPH oxidase and autophagy in pulmonary artery endothelial cells with intrauterine persistent pulmonary hypertension
ABSTRACT Autophagy is a process for cells to degrade proteins or entire organelles to maintain a balance in the synthesis, degradation, and subsequent recycling of cellular products. Increased reactive oxygen species formation is known to induce autophagy. We previously reported that increased NADPH oxidase (NOX) activity in pulmonary artery endothelial cells (PAEC) from fetal lambs with persistent pulmonary hypertension (PPHN) contributes to impaired angiogenesis in PPHN-PAEC compared with normal PAEC. We hypothesized that increased NOX activity in PPHN-PAEC is associated with increased autophagy, which, in turn, contributes to impaired angiogenesis in PPHN-PAEC. In the present study, we detected increased autophagy in PPHN-PAEC as shown by increased ratio of the microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain (LC3)-II to LC3-I and increased percentage of green fluorescent protein-LC3 punctate positive cells. Inhibiting autophagy by 3-methyladenine, chloroquine, and beclin-1 knockdown in PPHN-PAEC has led to decreased autophagy and increased in vitro angiogenesis. Inhibition of autophagy also decreased the association between gp91(phox) and p47(phox), NOX activity, and superoxide generation. A nonspecific antioxidant N-acetylcysteine and a NOX inhibitor apocynin decreased autophagy in PPHN-PAEC. In conclusion, autophagy may contribute to impaired angiogenesis in PPHN-PAEC through increasing NOX activity. Our results suggest that, in PPHN-PAEC, a positive feedback relationship between autophagy and NOX activity may regulate angiogenesis.

- "In this study, we sought to characterize the effect of chloroquine on BMPR-II levels in the endothelium. Recent research using PAECs from a persistent pulmonary hypertension model in fetal lambs described impaired angiogenesis which could be rescued by chloroquine inhibition of autophagy (38). However, as yet there is no literature describing the regulation of BMPR-II by chloroquine in endothelial cells. "
Article: The Lysosomal Inhibitor, Chloroquine, Increases Cell Surface BMPR-II levels and Restores BMP9 Signalling in Endothelial Cells Harbouring BMPR-II Mutations.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is characterised by dysregulated pulmonary artery endothelial cell (PAEC) proliferation, apoptosis and permeability. Loss of function mutations in the bone morphogenetic protein receptor type-II (BMPR-II) are the commonest cause of heritable PAH, usually resulting in haploinsufficiency. We previously showed that BMPR-II expression is regulated via a lysosomal degradative pathway. Here we show that the antimalarial drug, chloroquine, markedly increased cell surface expression of BMPR-II protein independent of transcription in PAECs. Inhibition of protein synthesis experiments revealed a rapid turnover of cell surface BMPR-II, which was inhibited by chloroquine treatment. Chloroquine enhanced PAEC expression of BMPR-II following siRNA knockdown of the BMPR-II transcript. Using blood outgrowth endothelial cells (BOECs), we confirmed that signalling in response to the endothelial BMPR-II ligand, BMP9, is compromised in BOECs from patients harbouring BMPR-II mutations, and in BMPR-II mutant pulmonary artery endothelial cells (PAECs). Chloroquine significantly increased gene expression of BMP9-BMPR-II signalling targets Id1, miR21 and miR27a in both mutant BMPR-II PAECs and BOECs. These findings provide support for the restoration of cell surface BMPR-II with agents such as chloroquine as a potential therapeutic approach for heritable PAH.Human Molecular Genetics 05/2013; 22(18).

- "Excessive oxidative stress, on the other hand, promotes cell apoptosis by activating the death-related pathway, known as type II programmed cell death (PCD). In persistent pulmonary hypertension (PPHN), autophagy of the pulmonary artery endothelial cells (PAECs) is proapoptotic and forms a positive feedback loop with Nox-derived ROS [76]. "
ABSTRACT: Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are derived from the metabolism of oxygen and are traditionally viewed as toxic byproducts that cause damage to biomolecules. It is now becoming widely acknowledged that ROS are key modulators in a variety of biological processes and pathological states. ROS mediate key signaling transduction pathways by reversible oxidation of certain signaling components and are involved in the signaling of growth factors, G-protein-coupled receptors, Notch, and Wnt and its downstream cascades including MAPK, JAK-STAT, NF-κB, and PI3K/AKT. Vascular formation and development is one of the most important events during embryogenesis and is vital for postnasal tissue repair. In this paper, we will discuss how ROS regulate different steps in vascular development, including smooth muscle cell differentiation, angiogenesis, endothelial progenitor cells recruitment, and vascular cell migration.Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity 01/2013; 2013(9):374963.

Article: AMP Kinase Activation Improves Angiogenesis in Pulmonary Artery Endothelial Cells with In Utero Pulmonary Hypertension.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Pulmonary artery endothelial cells (PAEC) isolated from fetal lambs with in utero pulmonary hypertension (IPH) have phenotypical changes that lead to increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation and impaired angiogenesis. AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is known to be activated by ROS, which is expected to help angiogenesis in IPH-PAEC. The objectives of this study were to investigate AMPK responses in IPH and its role in angiogenesis. We observed that when compared to control PAEC, IPH-PAEC have decreased phosphorylation of AMPKα catalytic subunit and AMPK downstream enzymes, indicating a decrease in AMPK activity. In addition, the expression of AMPK kinases is decreased and protein phosphatase 2 is increased in IPH-PAEC, potentially contributing to the decreased AMPK activation. Metformin, an AMPK activator, improved IPH-PAEC angiogenesis, while increasing endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) serine(1179) phosphorylation and decreasing the eNOS-caveolin-1 association. Metformin also increased MnSOD activity and the expression of both eNOS and MnSOD. The increase in angiogenesis by Metformin is abolished by pretreatment with AMPK inhibitor, Compound C. Expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and platelet-derived growth factor β (PDGFβ) are decreased in IPH-PAEC compared to control PAEC and were not altered by Metformin. These data indicate that Metformin improves angiogenesis through mechanisms independent of these angiogenic factors. In conclusion, activation of AMPK restores angiogenesis and increases the bio-availability of NO in IPH. Whether Metformin is beneficial in the management of pulmonary hypertension requires further investigation.AJP Lung Cellular and Molecular Physiology 10/2012; 304(1).

Parliament building of Benin[edit]
I saw the picture mentionned in the subject on the Benin page as well as Porto-Novo page. And it is written that it is the siege of Benin Parliament. Please, note that this is wrong. The building name in French is Palais des Congrès which can be litteraly translated as Palace of Congress, but its purpose is just to host events like seminars, conference and meeting. Benin Parliament siege is the "Palais des Gouverneurs" in French. And it is located in Porto-Novo, not Cotonou. Since i'm not used to editing wikipedia articles, I think i might let you know so you can correct this.
Best regards

Hello, Magnus.
Would it please be possible to have your permission to use your photo of the inside of the Cappella Palatina, specifically the one that shows the upper wall and part of the stalactite ceiling? I am writing a book on Norman Sicily and would really like to use this as the composition is so unusual. Thank you.
The Vernaccia pic[edit]
Hi, my name is Marco. I just would like to tell that the pic uploaded in the Vernaccia article it is not a Vernaccia from Sardinia, but (as stated on the label on the bottle) is a Vernaccia di San Gimignano. These two wines are quite different. I think the caption should be corrected. Best regards

Mislabel leading to Embarrassing Situations "Patch Adams at Sarvodaya.jpg"[edit]
Hello Magnus, My name is Derek Busby, and I am the assistant to Dr. Patch Adams. I am writing to you because the picture entitled "Patch Adams at Sarvodaya" has been incorrectly labeled. This picture is actually of Dr. Bowen White: http://bowenwhite.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/IMG_3774.jpg . While Drs. Adams and White are both amused by the mix-up, this picture has been used on several wikipedia pages (Spanish and Italian at least), and has been picked up by fans who came to believe this was a picture of Dr. Adams. We now have T-Shirts and a statue which feature the image of Dr. White, which have been presented to Dr. Adams--much to the confusion to all those involved. So, I would ask that you please edit this picture to reflect the reality that this is an image of Dr. Bowen White. Thank you. -Derek

It seems like the "Show only files not linked from Commons" in F2C doesn't work. Images can have red warning triangles for "there is afile with this name already on COmmons", but it is not hidden. Any way it can be programmed to hide those images? Josve05a (talk) 21:29, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

- Actually, even if I upload an image with F2C then load the same feed 5 min later, it doesn't hide those photos uploaded with F2C. What is needed for the tool to hide these images? Seems like something is broken here... 220.127.116.11 19:02, 4 October 2015 (UTC)
- On another note, am I missing something or do all image uploaded appear in the uploader's watchlist? I could not see a place to deselect that, if it even exists, so ended up having to delete hundreds of images from my watchlist manually. It's rather a pain as we can always find them in our upload file list. But a great tool I've started to use for multiple uploads. Thanks Ww2censor (talk) 11:49, 2 October 2015 (UTC)
