LOS ANGELES HERALD: MONDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 4, igoj.
Hope* to Be Able to Contribute
$100,000 Toward School Fund— -Dr.
Walker Preaches Eloquent
Twenty-three thoiiflund dollars was
subscribed nt the morning servlco at
Immanuel I'resbyterlan church yester
day for the Occidental college endow
ment fund. This bumi, with that already
given by O. T. Johrmon, a member of
the church, makes <90,000 from this
church, und It Is hoped to reach tho
$100,000 mark within the week. Dr.
Hugh K. Wnlker, tho pastor, In actively
engaged In rnlslng th«> $200,000 entlow
ment fund nnd pronched yesterday
morning on "The Christian College as a
Perpetual Man-Making Force," He
took for hia text the Incident in the
career of King Uzzlah, who called In
skilled engineers of Jerusalem In the
invention and construction of the
mighty engines of war that furnished
protection to tho city. He spoke of the
value of educated and well-trained men
to every community and in every age
of the world. He said:
"There were doubtless colleges and
universities in the old cities of Baby
lonia, Egypt and Assyria and from
them went out hosta of well-educated
and splendidly equipped men. And
King Uzzlah, with all his wealth and
political power, would have been help
less without the aid of these skilled
men. It Is necessary now to have these
institutions of higher learning. They
mould society, working from the top to
the bottom. Every class of men in the
community is benefited by the Ideas
and Ideals which colleges and univers
ities furnish to the world.
Seos Value of Education
"The things that are of moßt practical
advantage to the race must Inevitably
trace their origin back to the principles
laid down by some schoolman— some
one whom we pcorn sometimes as a
mere theorist. The thinkers come be
fore the doers and the institutions that
teach men to think and Inspire men to
be lnspirers are to be encouraged and
loyally sustained. When we speak of
self-educated men we forget that the
means of their so-called self-culture
have come through the books and ap
pliances furnished bY the students nnd
scholars who have passed through and
mastered the curriculum of some col
lege or university. Abraham Lincoln,
mighty man that he was, would have
failed in many respects If he had not
been surrounded by men who were
proficient in all the departments of
technical knowledge. And it is a well
known fact that where institutions for
developing such men are lacking, the
nice is stagnant and society decays.
The college therefore is beyond any
doubt a manhood-making force.
"Hut in order that such a force may
become perpetual, it must be equipped
and endowed. The principle must be
incarnated; the spirit embodied. It can
not be counted really us an institution
unless it can bind the generations to
gether, unless Its work can go on long
after those who first projected It have
passed away. And for one generation
who possessed the desire and also the
means to sustain such an institution,
to allow it to pass on to another gen
eration, who either through disincli
nation or poverty may allow this cher
ished institution to die, is to Bay the
least Improvident and foolish. It is
right that it should be endowed so that
amid all vicissitudes it may send forth
streams of blessing for a thousand
years. And In this way money achieves
an Immortality which It would other
wise lose.
"But the college should be kept in
close touch with a genuine and suffi
ciently uggresslve type of religion, so
that It may be kept to its highest end,
that of forming character; that of
making men fit citizens for two worlds.
Education may become grossly ma
terialistic and utilitarian: We must be
always on our guard to keep the best
things good. Let our watchword be
Education. Yes, but Christian educa
"Hg that is without sin among you,
let him first cast a stone," the gentle
reproof of the Nazarene, so often un
heeded by tho multitude that adher
ence to it would oausfs remark, was
again demonstrated a few days ago
on Main street.
Praises Mission Workers
It was only v man lying drunk on
tho street, surrounded by a motly,
jeering crowd of men and boys. The
man was well dressed, but that made
no difference. It is always the way to
"kick the fellow that is down," and this
• man was surely down, lying prostrate
on the pavement.
Mrs. Alice Manlove of tho Union
Rescue mission, 14T> North Main street,
passing by, saw that tho unfortunate
man needed . assistance, and with the
words — unuttered — "inasmuch as ye
did It unto the least of these, ye did it

Child Steps in Front of Pasadena
Electric and Is Run
Little Ineta Summervllle, a negress
living with her parents at 1348 South
Flower street, was knocked down by
a Pasadena avenue car yesterday af
ternoon while in tho vicinity of the
county hospital. Almost miraculous
was the girl's escape from death. Three
toes of one foot and tho side of the

With her mother, Ineta was standing
near the junction of the Garvanza lino

Supposed Young Footpad and Burglar
Refuses to Talk to the
Tho police have gained but little
new evidence against Harry Hendrlcks,
the 18-year-old boy arrested by Patrol
man J. M. Harrison on San Fernando
street on the suspicion of being the
"boy footpad" and bare-footed burglar.
The officsrs think it will probably take
some time to work out the case.
If nothing 1 of greater importance de
velops by today Hendrlcks will be ar
raigned In police court on the charge
of carrying concealed weapons; and
there is little doubt in the minds of
the officers that he will be con
victed on that charge. In the mean
time the investigation of the lad's pos
sible connection with the robberies will
be continued until definite information
is recelvsd.
On the lad's person at the time were
found a cartridge belt with several
rounds of ammunition and a revolver.
He also carried concealed a pair of
rubber-soled shoes. The lad claims to
be from Portland or Seattle, but the
police have reason to believe he Is the
burglar who Patrolman Pautz shot at
Wednesday night.

A Joker from Sunapee, a gentleman

would put up a trick on the Innkeeper,
and, as he Bat at a table with some
friends In the Inn, he poured a lot of
vinegar and pepper into a glass of

Then Perley made a horrible face and
roured out:

Pale with rage, the landlord hurried

eloquent oratory and sympathetic eulo
gies were tho order of the memorial
service held by Los Angeles lodge, B.
P. O. KIUh, No, 99 at the Mason opera
house yesterday afternoon.
A select program was carried out,
Frank Ilryson, oxalted ruler, having
charge of the opening of the lodge.
Tho oration by Lawrence Holmes wns
replete with Impressive sentiments for
tho good of the order he espoused. He
said in part:
"Sunday Is n gqod day to meet for
an occasion like this. This order in,
however, often misunderstood and Its
methods of geniality and Joyous attri
butes are often misconstrued as utterly
frivolous, but there Is nothing more
cnohllng than the character maintained
In thin order, with the acknowledgment
of the supreme being as an Important
factor In all its action nnd delibera
tions. Man yearns for higher relations
and heavenly attributes and I feel that
the greatest gift of God is the human
body and Intellect. We wonder at the
remarkable growth and changes from
the helpless infant during various
stages to manhood and the develop
ments to old age. Many advance the
Idea that old age is a disagreeable time
in the lives of people for the reason
that their usefulness is closed.
Should Start Child Aright
"I admire the attributes of good old
age, devolving upon the precepts of
useful lives from youth to ripe old age.
And In this connection a great funda
mental prlciple Is to start the child
aright, to be maintained throughout
its life. Let us make the childhood
of man a dream of nobility, elevating
him to the grand realms of manhood,
and the crowning priory of old age
when he stands ready to enter the great
Rev. Dr. J, L. Pltner delivered the
eulogy In his emblematic manner, lnter
sperßlng the humorous with the solem
nity of the occasion. He said In part:
"This life Is one of great peculiarities.
Man Is the agent to bring order out
of chaos. It is his portion to navigate
the sea and control the elements placed
in his keeping by the overruling power.
He Is given strength to withstand all
the tempestuous winds that blow.
"I do not believe in driving all the
sentiment out of our lives. Music and
poetry would then be relegated to ob
livion. We require amidst our hard
ships and solemnity the music, poetry
and the mlrthfuluess that occasions
laughter to keep up our spirits as men
of Christian characters."
Rev. Dr. Pltner referring to the re
cent railway accidents said that it re
quired more bravery on the streets of
Los Angeles than on a field of battle.

Oklahoma Preacher Carries Out a
Threat to "Beat the

LAYVTON, Okla.. Dec. 1.-The Rev.
R. 11. Simms. a Baptist preacher,
has wtartod to "beat tho truth into nome
people's heads" sooner than was ex

pulpit that he would have to start that
sort of campaign.
Mr. Simms ana William Scott, a
wealthy farmer and school director, met
In front of the school house as tho con

opened hostilities by saying:
"You're a blasphemer; you have
preached what is untrue; you have un
churched the rest of the neighborhood
but your own little flock."
"It's a He!"
"It is tho truth for you have just said
in your sermon that after a man is con
verted he can go out and kill his fellow
man and yet not bo deprived of hia
right to tho kingdom of heaven."
Biff 1 and William Scott fell senselosa
to the ground. The wife of the pros

struck her twice on the arm. Women
and children screamed und fled. It
looked as if a free for all light wad

Quarrels With His Mate but Hoots
Until She Finally Re.
Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, Dec. 3.— Desire for
sleep yesterday overcame the dislike of
Carrie, an owl in the menagerie in Cen
tral park, for Luke, her mate, and to
Induce him to stop hooting when she
wanted to enjoy slumber she permitted
him to share her perch, from which ho
had been banished.
Luke and Carrie live happily together
in their home near the eagle's cage
until about a week ago. At that time a
quarrel, due to v misunderstanding, ap
parently about the rights of each other
to the middle or their perch, occurred.
Carrie forced Luke to leave the perch,
and he wan compelled to be content
with the stone floor of the cage.
To be revenged on his mate Luke re
mained awake every day and hooted
loudly. When Carrie opened her eyes
he stopped his cries, but Immediately
began them again when she tried to
sleep. Despite the annoyance she per
sisted In forcing him off the perch when
he tried to regain his old position
Exhausted and ill from lack of sleep,
she did not object yesterday when Lukn
perched near her. After he had seen he
would be allowed to retain his position
on tho perch Luke refrained from hoot
ing und permittted his mate to sleep.

Woman Sues for Divorce From Her
Sepond Husband When First
One Appears
Special to The Herald.
WILKESBARRE, Pa., Dec. 3.—
Four hours after she discovered that
she had two living 1 husbands, Mrs.
Ada 0. Kepp of this city began BUlt
for the annulment of her second mar
riage. Later she may apply for a di
vorce from her first husband, whom
she found today after a drive of
twenty miles.
Before a new law became effective,
in 1903, a second marriage under such
conditions would not have been con
sidered a marriage at all. Now, how
over. It Is legally necessary to obtain
an annulment. The caso is the first
of its kind In this state.
Seventeen years ago the husband of
Mrs. Kepp, who was then Mrs. Hiram
Steele, left her, and she never 1 saw
him again until today. Four * years
later his brother wrote her that he
was dead, and three years after that
ehe married Kepp.
A few years ago she heard that her
first husband was living.
Her search for him resulted in find
ing him today, at Chase, a country
place, near here, a charge upon the
poor district. He aßked after his
children, one of whom, a boy of 17 he
has never seen. As Boon an she could
return to this city she had Attorney
Q. A. Gates commence suit for the an
nulment of her marriage to Kepp.
Kentucky Judge Heart of Hit Wlfo'«
Suicide While Seated on
the Bench
Special to The Herald.
OWINGSVILLB. Ky,, Dec. 3.-Whlle
County Judge William Howe was sit
ting in a murder trial at Cambton.
Wolfe county, a messenger entered and
informed him that his young wife, Mrs.
fella Howe, had committed suicide
Judge Howe rushed from the bench
and hastened home, where he found hia
wife's body hanging: to a rafter in a
barn. Mm. Howe had been in ill health
and had several times attempted to end
her life. Just before she hanged herself
she went to her invalid mother's room
and klused her goodby, telling her she
would never return. The aged woman
tried to get word to neighbors, but
failed, and was compelled to lie in bed
while her daughter hanged herself. The
mother may not mirvlve the shock.

According to an article by Tim Kawakami and confirmed through Maiocco's Twitter Michael Crabtree will hold out until September. A source informed Kawakami that Crabtree almost certainly will sign, unless he's crazy enough to start skipping game-checks, which he probably isn't, but that it won't be until in the weeks or days before the 49ers' Sept. 13 regular-season opener.
Looks like we can chalk up season one as non productive for Crabass.

He may not be a United player any more – but former Reds' midfielder Paul Pogba has still picked up three points in Manchester after being caught speeding in his BMW.
The 19-year-old, who now plays for Italians Juventus, was clocked doing 50mph in a 30mph zone on Hyde Road in Gorton in April.
He did not appear at Manchester magistrates' court yesterday where he was fined £400, hit with three penalty points and ordered to pay £45 costs. Pogba departed Old Trafford in acrimonious circumstances at the end of last season when he refused to sign a new contract.
Instead, he penned a four-year deal with Juventus in July, prompting a furious reaction from manager Sir Alex Ferguson, who slammed the player's agent.
He was recently dropped from the Juventus squad for a Serie A match after turning up late twice for training.
Pogba is the latest footballer connected with one of the two Manchester clubs to be convicted of a driving offence.
In September the M.E.N. printed a 'rogue XI' which included City's Michael Johnson, who was banned from the roads for three years for crashing his car while unfit to drive through drink.
He was on bail for drink-driving at the time.
United and England striker Danny Welbeck also made the line-up when he was fined after he was caught doing 82mph along the 50mph Princess Parkway.
Since then, Reds' veteran defender Rio Ferdinand has been banned after he was caught speeding three times on the same stretch of road in the space of six weeks.
And Carlos Tevez, who is due before Morecambe magistrates for an alleged speeding offence on Monday, had to watch as police seized his new Porsche Panamera earlier this month.
He failed to produce the correct documents after being stopped by officers and had to catch a lift home.
Tevez, 28, referenced the incident by mimicking driving a car when celebrating both of his two goals in the Blues' 5-0 win over Aston Villa on Saturday.
In October, United starlet Ryan Tunnicliffe was banned from driving after he ploughed a Range Rover into a parked car while over the drink-drive limit

SAO PAULO, April 7 (Reuters) - Borrowing costs in Brazil, as measured by lending spreads, are unlikely to decline until the central bank lowers its benchmark interest rate, Banco Bradesco SA Chief Executive Officer Luiz Carlos Trabuco said on Monday, adding that the bank's loan book growth is rising more than expected.
Spreads, or the difference between the rate at which banks lend and the cost of funding, will remain around current levels even as loan delinquencies continue to decline, Trabuco said at an event sponsored by the bank in Sao Paulo.
After a slow start in January and February, loan book growth staged a sharp recovery in March and is likely to help Bradesco meet its guidance for this year, Trabuco added. (Reporting by Guillermo Parra-Bernal; Writing by Asher Levine; Editing by Peter Galloway)

Fujifilm and Panasonic collaborate on 'industry-leading' organic/CMOS sensor
Fujifilm and Panasonic have announced the joint development of a sensor technology that combines a light-sensitive coating on top of a CMOS chip. The companies claim higher dynamic range and sensitivity than current CMOS sensors, along with the ability to receive light at steeper angles - making it easier to design cameras with wide-angle lenses and allowing lenses to be mounted nearer to the sensor. The announcement extends from the work Fujifilm has been conducting on organic (carbon-based) photo-senstive materials and combines it with CMOS underpinnings developed by Panasonic. The result is a chip that uses CMOS technology only for circuitry - with the organic layer taking over the role of converting light into electrons.
Although the companies don't detail a timeline for production, the joint presentation made at the VLSI Technology show in Japan shows images of pixel designs on the 0.9μm and 3μm scales. The smaller pixel would allow the creation of a 20MP sensor for mobile phones, while the larger one would result in a 41MP APS-C sensor.
Fujifilm and Panasonic jointly develop an organic CMOS image sensor technology using organic photoelectric conversion layer
Offers Industry's highest* dynamic range and sensitivity for vivid and texture-rich images
|A schematic of how the Fujifilm/Panasonic sensor uses an organic photo-sensitive layer near the front of the sensor(left), compared with a convention CMOS design (right)
FUJIFILM Corporation (President: Shigehiro Nakajima) and Panasonic Corporation (President: Kazuhiro Tsuga) have developed organic CMOS image sensor technology that uses an organic photoelectric conversion layer with a photoelectric conversion property at the light receiving section of an image sensor to achieve performance beyond that of conventional image sensors**. Applying this technology to the image sensors of digital cameras and other imaging devices expands its dynamic range*** and enhances sensitivity*4 further to prevent highlight clipping in bright scenes and capture a dark subject with vivid colors and rich textures.
The industry has put into continuous efforts to explore image sensor technologies for increasing their number of pixels. This has dramatically improved sensor resolutions, but, in order to further boost image quality, it is necessary to expand the dynamic range, enhance sensitivity and prevent cross-talk or color mixing between pixels. Panasonic took advantage of its semiconductor device technology to boost image quality for its high-performance image sensors. Fujifilm, on the other hand, has developed highly-reliable organic photoelectric conversion layer with high absorption coefficient to be used on a sensor's light receiving section instead of silicon photodiode*5 in its effort to build a new image sensor technology.
In the latest collaboration, Fujifilm and Panasonic have combined Fujifilm's organic photoelectric conversion layer technology with Panasonic's semiconductor device technology to jointly develop an organic CMOS image sensor that outperforms conventional image sensors. The new organic CMOS image sensor offers the industry's highest dynamic range of 88dB, advanced sensitivity 1.2 times more sensitive than conventional sensors** and broader range of incident angle*6 to enable the production of more sensitive and compact cameras with better image quality.
The two companies will promote the application of this organic CMOS image sensor technology to a wide range of products including security cameras, in-vehicle cameras, mobile device and digital cameras.
Fujifilm and Panasonic will present the research results at the 2013 Symposium on VLSI Technology (VLSI2013) to be held in Kyoto on June 11, and the 2013 International Image Sensor Workshop to be held in Utah, U.S.A. on June 15.
* Performance of the light receiving section of image sensors, as of June 11, 2013 according to Panasonic data.
** Estimation from Panasonic image sensors
*** Range of light that can be recorded (ratio between the brightest and darkest areas recorded)
*4 The sensitivity of image sensors refers to the conversion ratio of light into electric signals. The greater the sensitivity is, the clearer you can capture low-light scenes.
*5 A type of photo detector that senses incident light, installed for each image sensor pixel to convert light into electric signals
*6 Range of incident light angles for efficient conversion into electric signals
|Transmission electron microscope images of the 3μm (left) and 0.9μm (right) organic/CMOS pixels the companies have developed.
The organic photoelectric conversion layer (OPF), in relation to the microlenses (ML) and color filters (CF) is indicated.
Overview of the newly-developed organic CMOS image sensor technology
A conventional image sensor consists of a silicon photodiode for capturing light, metal interconnect, color filter and on-chip micro-lens. The newly-developed organic CMOS image sensor technology uses organic photoelectric conversion layer with high absorption coefficient instead of the silicon photodiode, reducing the thickness of the light receiving section down to 0.5 microns, i.e. one severalth of the thickness of a silicon photodiode. This structure provides the following benefits:
- Industry's highest dynamic range of 88dB to prevent highlight clipping and produce a vivid and texture-rich image even in low light
Panasonic's semiconductor device technology has improved the signal saturation value*7 by four folds compared to that of conventional image sensors. Coupled with the newly-developed noise-cancelling circuit, the sensor technology provides the industry's highest dynamic range of 88dB, preventing highlight clipping in bright scenes and capturing a vivid and texture-rich image in low light.
*7 The maximum amount of electric signals that can be handled. Receiving a signal greater than this value leads to highlight clipping.
- 1.2 times higher sensitivity than conventional sensors to capture clear images even in low light
The transistors and metal interconnects in each pixel, fabricated using Panasonic's semiconductor device technology, are coated with photoelectric conversion layer, developed using Fujifilm's organic material technology. The area of the light receiving section becomes limited in conventional image sensors because of the existence of metal interconnects and the need to form light shield film to prevent light incidence into areas other than the photodiode in each pixel. However, the organic CMOS image sensor technology coats the sensor with organic film, which can harvest all the light received on the sensor. This boosts sensor sensitivity by 1.2 times compared to conventional sensors to deliver clear images even in low light.
- Range of incident angle expanded to 60 degrees for faithful color reproduction (See the image sensor illustrations above)
The thickness of the organic film with high absorption coefficient, developed by Fujifilm, has been reduced to just 0.5 microns, or one severalth of the thickness of silicon photodiode in the light receiving section. Since the conventional silicon photodiode measures at least 3 microns in depth, the range of incident angles was limited to around 30 – 40 degrees. The thin film, achieved with the organic CMOS image sensor technology, has enabled the expansion of this range to 60 degrees, efficiently utilizing light entering at an angle for faithful color reproduction with no color mixing. It also gives greater flexibility in lens designs, facilitating the reduction of overall camera size.
- Offering high reliability for broader applications
Fujifilm has developed a process technology to produce inorganic films for protecting the organic film. It prevents the entry of moisture and oxygen into the organic film to safeguard it against performance degradation. The sensor technology has cleared reliability tests involving the application of stress such as temperature, humidity, electrical voltage and light, paving the way for the use of the organic CMOS image sensor in a wide range of applications.

I still don't see why this organic sensor is better than another sensor technologies Panasonic is researching like this one:
This one looks far more revolutionary than fuji's x-trans idea and or even than x-trans and organic sensors combined. Might in fact be really close to the performance of a foveon sensor witout the cost
Any prediction, when new camera with better sensor will be available on the market ? this year or next year ?
Impressive. Let's make it even better by making the sensor out of Graphine which is said to allow current sensor design to be 1000x more sensitive.
this looks the same as BSI but with possibly lower cost.
it underscores Pana's move to m4/3", that Oly's original 4/3" looks just stupid. probably the worst design in camera history except one part, the f-number cheating which is part of Pana's current strategy.
You clearly show your ignorance by this statement. There is no perfect sensor size or design methodology in photography. There never has been, and there probably never will be. I use a D800 for work because of the high Megapixel required. I use my GH3 for creative work, size, features and ease of use. Do I wish my GH3 had sensor specifications (but with the same 4/3 size) as the D800? Sure! Do I wish the D800 was as easy to use and as flexible as the GH3? Absolutely. They each have their strengths and weaknesses. Technology does change perspective. The GH4 can outperform a D300s from 2009 in all aspects. As technology improves, the difference between larger and smaller sensors decreases, and the advantage of a WYSIWYG digital viewfinder start to outperform an optical viewfinder. Somethings will never change because of physics. Want shorter depth of field with the same f-stop? Go with a larger sensor. Want smaller more capable and manageable lenses? Go with a smaller sensor.
88dB for 3umx3um pixel size is extremely good -> 15 EV in native dynamic range.
In the VLSI2013 papers, they mentioned that well saturation is 8500 e/um and readout noise is 2.9 e.
D800E have 4.8 um pixel and 80dB -> 13.3 EV. If Nikon use this technology, they would have 97dB and 16.2 EV, which is huge.
In the near future, we would see APSC camera with 42Mp/15 stops DR, or APSC w/ 21 Mp/16 stops,
-> and fullframe 80Mp/15stops or 40Mp/16 stops.
Of course, A/D converter will be upgrade to at least 16 bit to exploit the full potential of the technology.
Think you're at a whole different level of discussion that's usually on here. Photo-scientist, engineer or just able to understand the white paper on this?
After the Mega Pixel War
Followed by Zoom War
And then some Faster Lens war
I hope now the war is on the Better Image sensor.
If all the manufacturer start using better Image sensor like this, I believe it will be better result compared to other war.
Lets see who will win
@utomo99 - you believe in myths, I see.
More mega pixels generally increase image quality, except for some cases, mainly extremely high ISO, or very small sensors.
Lots of the improvements made has been to get better image quality.
Is it 1.2x MORE sensitive or 1.2x AS sensitive? That makes a lot of differences. 1.2x AS sensitive as old technology as in less than 1/3 stop ISO improvement? Not interested.
As stated below - 1.2x larger pixels for the same pixel count in the same area - so you can either put more pixels in the same area or have each pixel 1.2 times larger for the same pixel count in the same area - hope that helps ;)
What they're not telling you is that "organic" is just another word for "carbon-based life form." Bottom line: this sensor is alive; it's a creature that was either discovered or genetically engineered to live inside your camera and translate photons into images (remember the bird that lived inside Fred Flintstone's camera and chiseled pictures onto stone tablets? Same principle, different species). Nobody tell PETA or they'll put the kibosh on the whole thing.
More importantly - what do they eat, and what about the waste? Thanks for that ;)
Monster slime will ooze out of your camera if you do not regularly worship it. DO NOT WIPE SENSOR WITH HOLY WATER!!!
I've read your comment and it didn't sound right so I looked it up and I think what you're saying is nonsense.
Organic is carbon based indeed but NOT a life form - not a living creature. If organic compound means life form then cow's farts are alive - methane which is per Wikipedia is one of the simplest organic compounds.
Here's a link to the Wikipedia article http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organic_compound
Don't tell this to Nikon! They will declare it a "dangerous animal" and will market glass to help annihilating it.
Improved DR sounds good...
Similar performance boost was recently observed by using MoS2 instead of silicon:
JKP, Fujifilm/Panasonic only promise a slight increase (1.2 times), while your link promises 5 times more sensitive than current silicium-based technology.
1.2x in area NOT sensitivity - sensitivity is 44db greater:
Fuji/Panasonic organic sensor: 88 dB = 29.2 EV
Nikon D800E: 46db = 15.3ev
Fill lighting will be a concept for the history books since we can just slide a lever in the near future. I'm guessing it's gonna take many updates to photoshop to get this right, but it will happen eventually.
Next up, maybe we can add IR sensitive senors that capture a 3D representation of objects so we can add lighting in a 3D space. Also with that 3D information, we can selectively blur objects based on different distances. We can shoot with a deep dof, but recreate a shallow dof shot in post. The Microsoft Kinect already does this with a separate camera. Why not just add those sensors to the RGB sensor now that we got room to play with?
The Lytro already has this technology, where you can select the focus point after you have already taken the picture..
In the future it will be representational like our brains - objects, colors, textures all filled in - much more compact storage and infinite zoom and focus - except now with computers we will have 3D reconstruction so we can even change perspective... They do it in video games now, just a few generations to go... Not saying good old silver halide will die but....
What is it the naysayers have been saying here for 13+ years?
You can't do that. Impossible. Physics won't allow it.
You are so right, Johnsonj.
"The laws of physics" ignorant BS ...
One thing that seems quite clear from the diagram is that the organic coating is not discrete compared to the current technology, so I imagine there will be spillover between pixels (which is already the case with discrete photodiodes).
A detect a bit of marketing hype here. Though I'm by no means an authority, the notes suggest they're comparing it to their own sensors when they quote "conventional".
The angle of incidence part is interesting though, could have positive ramifications for lens design...
I like to see the improvement in incident light angle. Mirrorless APS-C has issue with this, I would hate to see how bad a full frame mirrorless would perform in the corners with existing lenses. A sensor like this could help a lot.
Yes, but I find it telling that there are still microlenses. Not that they are bad, but they do suggest that light coming in at extreme angles is still an issue. The color filters and protective layer would still reflect considerable light striking at too much of an angle, even with modern coatings.
Interesting to see different sensor technologies being developed. Some will take market share, other perhaps superior in technology, will disappear as happened with colour TV. Do look forward to better sensors. Don't think it will happen in time for my next likely purchase - a Panasonic GX7, but we shall see.
What about this ?
Clear Photos in Dim Light: New Sensor a Thousand Times More Sensitive Than Current Camera Sensors
May 30, 2013 — Cameras fitted with a new revolutionary sensor will soon be able to take clear and sharp photos in dim conditions, thanks to a new image sensor invented at Nanyang Technological University (NTU).
Thanks for sharing.
And right next to that article, how Google Glass just became obsolete:
I think small sensors will benefit greatly from this. We can have the small body and lens of m4/3 without compromising on high ISO performance. Big sensors will also benefit from the very thin graphene layer. I can foresee two problems. Firstly, 2/3 of graphene patents are held by just 3 countries, which may explain why the Japanese companies are not too eager to jump into it. Secondly, the mining of graphene is as environmentally destructive as mining of rare earth.
The original paper that the graphene story comes from says it's 1000x more sensitive than existing graphene sensors - not current silicon technology. It's been widely mid-reported.
The Fujifilm/Panasonic technology, with at least two pixel sized having been designed and made, sounds much closer to market than the fundamental research around graphene.
Not to over blow the potential of Graphene since it is a very new discovery. The team that won the Nobel prize in 2010 obtained Graphene by sticking a scotch tape on a piece of Graphite.
But companies that don't ignore it but make full use of it will benefit the most. I can see Samsung going all out over it.
Goes on to prove that you can't beat an organic sandwich, even if it's thinner ;)
Anyway, this is good news. It will just take some more time to wait before the new cameras emerge, so the ad-people can spin their thing right from the beginning. The prices of the "old, non-organic" gear might drop, though...
New Imaging Technologies (NIT) offers world class CMOS imaging sensors based upon a unique and patented pixel technology which provides intrinsic high dynamic range response of more than 140dB, no noticeable fixed pattern noise and operability without image artifacts to more than 90°C.
No solid background knowledge, ogl.
E.g., the D800 has 79.7 dB DR at 36.6 MP using the strict DxO measurement rules.
Because SNR is dependent on spatial frequency (just like in audio), this translates to 100.5 dB DR at VGA resolution (D800) which I mention because the NIT sensor is a video sensor. So 120 dB (NIT writes 120 dB at many places) isn't as spectacular as it sounds.
Other than that, NIT invented a pixel architecture which produces a logarithmic output with potentially extreme DR if exposed long enough. The NIT pixel uses the photo-voltaic effect which creates a current rather than a charge. Don't expect class-leading image quality from such a device, other than a high DR.
The NIT sensor has no reason to be cited here in this context.
It could be sensors for smartphones.
Small sensors with high dynamic range - from 87 till 140 dB are well-known 10 years ago.
Kodak 40 MP sensor has 70 dB dynamic range. 645D with such sensor has 12.6 EV dynamic range. D800E's sensor has close to 80 dB.
The main question - how big will this new sensor be? If it will be small, it's not interesting at all
Important remark: 1.2 times higher sensitivity than Panasonic sensors have now.
It still seems to have a Bayer matrix and therefore Foveon remains superior for me. Interesting development although, let's see how this works in practice.
Dont know anything about this, but as it is an internet forum, here goes,
the Foveon sensor is more to do with geometry than the sensitised material in it, I would not envisage why the same approach could not be used by applying a chromophore to three layers of the photosensitive polymer.
Sony's patent (in early 2012) on organic layer points at a Foveon-like stacked structure. I won't be surprised if the same applied to Fuji's.
Just as a comment to many of the commentators who don't seem to know: "Organic" in this sense doesn't mean biological, bio-degradable, grown without pesticides, free-range, sustainably produced, low carbon footprint, or any other such thing. It just means the molecules involved in the sensor technology are carbon-based.
Yeah, that's all well and good; thanks for the explanation.
But ............
is it OK to eat the carbon?!
Girls do prefer diamonds as a source of carbon.
Assuming that a 3db gain is a doubling then they are talking 30 stops? Really?
It's 6db and 15 stops. But such things aren't normalized and DxO numbers would differ significantly.
More significantly: the speak about a 4x increase of the full well capacity which would lower the native ISO from e.g., 100 to 25. It is at that 25 ISO you would see up to 2 stops more DR.
Obviously, they use part of the beforehand light sensitive silicon area for an increased well. Which is good.
Still, I would have preferred to read a number (like 60000) for the 3 µm sensel's FWC. As otherwise, it just remains dumb marketing speech.
Not hyperbole. They used dB because they are measuring signal voltage dynamic range, not power. If you read the paper abstract and the releases carefully, the sensor has about a 1/4 stop high ISO low noise advantage, and possibly a 4 stop low ISO dynamic range advantage, if their numbers and comparisons are correct.
I am glad to see Panasonic and Fuji knowledge together.
The result has to be very good.
I do not know why FujiFilm ditched its highly acclaimed SuperCCD technology.
Since they did that, I haven't bought a single camera from them. Meanwhile their camera design really lets me down. The glory of S5 pro has gone and gone.
You never worked with the X-Pro1, I think?
That's an amazing camera after 2 years I work with it :-)
Hmm, the Fuji X trans has great POTENTIAL; very great.
But that potential has not been FULLY realised because ......
Fuji themselves don't seem to be able to decode the fancy sensor colour array accurately (witness the, albeit minor compared to other companies attempts, flaws in their JPEGs as shown here on DPReview) and other companies, because they haven't had co-operation from Fuji have a hell of a time making sense of raw conversion from the X Trans sensor (and Adobe had to revisit the raw conversion of the Fuji sensor to make it half way decent).
So I wouldn't go gloating about X Trans ............yet.
The X Trans is superior to the sensor used on the S5pro in every way. I have used both.
With organic sensors and organic camera users, all we need now are crank-, solar- and wind-powered cameras, and we can claim we're almost 100% sustainable.
Great news! the sensors we have at the moment are rubbish, I cant seem to find a decent picture anywhere since film went out of fashion.
I see the difference, even if others don't. Would love to have full colour sensing image sensor without quality degrading filters, i.e. like film, but digital. Sigma make a brave effort, most other vendors don't care as much about image quality, just sales. This means millions of mediocre image capture devices + millions of mediocre photographers. Not a good combination.
Full frame, full colour image sensor with good low light sensitivity, quality lens range and in form factor...... dreaming on.
... film and digital imagery is not comparable, but the major change has happened to the ways the pictures are displayed. The only thing that really has changed is the camera availability. As to why so large a percentage of people with digital cameras automatically feel that this is all it takes to be photographers, that's another story entirely.
In this World of today's where reading (as well as learning) "takes too much time", blame it on the irresponsible advertising, where all sorts of outright lies are regarded as tools of trade. Etcetera...
I was being sarcastic by the way, I am blown away by what modern digital cameras even the tiny one in my phone can do.
@Kuv that really was my point. Sorry for it, lowest for of wit and all that, just some of the hellelujahing in the comments I found irritating like we were living in the dark ages.
I'm waiting 4 the cmos/orgsamic version.... apparently it only last 3 seconds
Apparently it does; it think it says so indirectly in the press release. However, the engineers use some technique to eliminate it (i am guessing they simply seal it making the compound sit within an air-tight frame/skin)
the real technology of the future, is one with micro-prisms to split the light into different colors, and direct each one to a photosite.
this does away with the color filter, and doubles the sensitivity.
the micro prisms could be paired with any sensor technology underneath it.
ie: doing away with the pattern altogether (whether bayer or xtrans) and using all of the light - not throwing most of it away.
ps: foveon takes a step in the right direction, but it loses too much light in order to be a relevant technology that can last into the future.
Moreover, the 1.2x sensitivity increase seems to relate to the fill factor alone. Which is debatable. OTOH, a 0.5µm absorption layer may be too thin for a high quantum efficiency (it is a single lambda layer only). Overall, I don't consider this technology to be a progress.
It has been done with Polaroid Instant Slide film way back. There was only one silver layer, with prism lines along the film base, but the technology, though revolutionary, was still too crude then to create finer arrays. As opposed to analog approach, the same prism array could work well with full-frame sized chips...
#3 of this news item explains that the organic layer is a 0.5µm thin film. Which is a bit less than one wavelength for green and blue. They mention a "high absorption coefficient". But an organic layer this thin will be difficult to make pitch black. Therefore, I have little hope for state-of-the-art quantum efficiency if the thin film is THIS thin.
I know size is an issue, but does anyone know what using a prism would do for sensitivity - using 3 ccd's as with the old video cameras? How about 3 2/3"" BSI ccd's?
I for one am taking a deep breath and holding ...
This news makes sense. Oly and Sony partner up, Panasonic left alone partners with Fuji, the two halfs become stronger. Interesting to watch the camera companies evolve over time. First Pentax Ricoh, Sony Oly, now Pana Fuji, maybe one day they will all merge with Leica ;).
Oly and Sony didn't partner up. Sony invested in Oly, mainly to get into medical electronic business. Sony is selling sensors to Oly, but they were selling them to Nikon and Pentax before that anyway.
Oly still makes M3/3 cameras that compete directly against Sony's Nex.
Fuji and Panasonic are also competitors. Fuji doesn't sell M4/3 cameras.
As for Ricoh Pentax, that's different. There is no such thing as "Pentax" as an independent entity. "Pentax" is a brand name used by Ricoh.
ET2 - you forgot to mention that now Oly is helping Sony with development of new lenses. Aslo, if rumors are correct, and Sony releases mirrorless A-mount cameras, I'm pretty sure Oly will help with some CDAF know-how/technology as well.
So, yeah, they kind "partnered up".
Meanwhile, Canon sits all alone. Poor thing :(
Canon has "indirectly" partnered with ML/CHDK for their firmware hack (abuse)
Of course they both will deny any "official" partnership. :)
Nikon so far has been "alone" (eventhough after some Sony & Toshiba image sensor fiasco).
Nonetheless, about Olymp helping Sony with lens development, it makes sense.
Lens is quite a specialized thing, you can't simply bought a "know how" about it & mastering in a shortcut; took a lot of resources to get where nikon is.
I like the "over time" - as "slow" as development can seem at times the pace of technology - hardware and software is truly amazing. We should be praising all the hard work and development - even if it's not perfect.... There are so many unsung heroes out there and it's amazing to me they make enough money off the designs with so many designs and such short design cycles.
Do I have to feed it?
Slightly disingenuous in the diagram they released.
It shows an organic layer, a bottom electrode, and a "protective layer" on top. For this to work, the protective layer actually has to be conductive, so it can function as a counterelectrode. Which means you are having to make transparent electrodes which has its own set of difficulties.
Photoconversion (light energy creates separated, mobile electric charge) is pretty hard to do in a single organic layer. I wonder if the photoconversion layer is actually composed of an organic solar-cell like multilayer structure or whether instead it works on the principle of photoconductivity.
(Sorry, its close to my day job. I actually wondered a while back whether anyone was thinking of making an organic image sensor. The idea has been kicking around for 60 years, but of course the process tools and materials available are vastly different now...)
Assistant Professor with one of your fields of expertise being organic electronics... Very swish =)
As for the top electrode transparent electrodes aren't too much of a problem, especially with the hope of something useful coming out of all the money being thrown at graphene. There are also clearly going to be gaps between the pixels. I won't claim to know much about the layout of an imaging sensor but can't the top electrodes just run as a grid in these gaps?
You can put the electrode around the edge, but it wouldn't be very efficient for a photoelectric device as the relatively long distance the charges have to travel to reach the electrode mean the charges are more likely to recombine (disappear) before they can be extracted as signal. For a simple photoresistive element, on the other hand, this wouldn't be a problem.
Hmm. It bugs the heck out of me that I can't immediately figure out how this works. I'll have to do some digging tomorrow and see what I can find in the literature.
note to self: link to earlier report in article above shows a different diagram with the top transparent electrode clearly indicated.
Patent appears to cover both "Foveon style" and conventional pixel geometries, in each case the organic active "layer" is on closer examination comprised of a multi-layer sandwich of n-type and p-type materials, with a transparent electrode on top and a regular metal electode on the bottom to collect the individual currents. It's a miniature organic solar cell, in other words.
What does this design mean for sensor longevity? Would this stand up to heat cycling for video use?
The sensor performance may fade over years because of the organic element.
Organic, molecular semiconductors are fundamentally less stable than their inorganic counterparts. Especially, sadly, when you expose them to light in the presence of e.g. water or oxygen.
Then have them make it easily replaceable... $30 every year would not be a problem for me - just give me the sensitivity and dynamic range!

Fat in stomach may cause Vitamin C to promote carcinogensPublished On: Tue, Sep 4th, 2007 | Biochemistry / Science Policy | By BioNews
Sept 4 : A new study has given people another good reason to lose all that extra weight by finding that fat in the stomach may cause vitamin C to promote the formation of certain cancer causing chemicals rather than preventing it.
As a part of their study the researchers set out to find the impact of fat and lipid) and vitamin C (ascorbic acid) on nitrite chemistry in the upper (proximal) stomach.
The upper stomach is especially vulnerable to pre-cancerous changes and tumour growth.
The researchers replicated the chemical conditions of the proximal stomach and measured the formation of nitrosamines, oxygen, and nitric oxide.
Nitrosamines are cancer causing compounds formed in acidic conditions, such as those afforded by stomach acid.
In most circumstances, vitamin C inhibits the formation of nitrosamines by converting nitrite to nitric oxide, reports the BMJ.
However, the study showed that adding ten percent fat had vitamin C boosting the production of nitrosamines between 8 and 140-fold.
The findings may be relevant to the recent observations that vitamin C supplements fail to reduce cancer risk.
The study is published ahead of print in the journal Gut. (ANI)

They could be separated at birth (and by a few decades) -- self-made men who share a hatred of the media and a love of guitars, animals (one shoots them with cameras, one with guns), the military, their fathers, America, Charlton Heston, and writing about themselves in endless detail.
In this corner (and on every TV station in town), our own Jake Jabs, furniture mogul and "NHFA 2000 Retailer of the Year," as he boasts on the cover of his self-published autobiography, An American Tiger ($19 at a bookstore near you). In the other, Ted Nugent, wildman musician, inventive wordsmith and dedicated hunter, who was in town Monday to perform with KISS and plug his own book, God, Guns & Rock 'n' Roll ($24.95, ditto). Although both covers celebrate all things American -- and feature eerily similar grins -- it's inside the tomes that the two really hit common ground.
Jabs was born to immigrant parents and raised poor on a farm in Montana, where "our toys were bones from dead animals and our currency was pop-bottle caps." But, naturally, they were rich in other ways: "The most important lessons my dad taught us were get an education (he always felt left out) and develop an art form or hobby (it would help in the tough times ahead). Drugs and booze -- other people's coping mechanisms -- tear a person down; art and hobbies are uplifting, he always said." The Jabs family liked music; Jake played in the Lodge Grass High School band when he was in second grade. And after he got out of the Air Force -- where he'd played with Chuck Tombs and the Dixie Drifters -- his first business step was to buy a music store in Bozeman, Montana, in 1955 and start specializing in guitars. The sofas, and a subsequent furniture empire, would come later.
Ted Nugent grew up along the Detroit River, in a close family. He played cowboys and Indians with bows and arrows and a fake gun, played around with his father's real gun, moved on to his own guns, then to guitars, left home at eighteen, and has "instinctively taken my independence seriously. As a matter of practice, I have stuffed my pockets with simple yet specific urban survival gear: a clean handkerchief, a pocketknife, a wad of thin guitar picks, my wallet with some cash and ID, and a handful of ammo." But not drugs: "Drugs and alcohol destroy one's level of awareness sure as hell."
As these two independent men made their way in the world, they came to share views on certain subjects:
Here's Nugent on the media: "The vast majority of America's free press does not report news, they make it up. Anyone who dismisses the claims of a conspiracy is either a paid employee of the media or a deaf, dumb and blind fool."
Here's Jabs: "The fact that the paper would print such accusations [a former employee had charged him with sexual harassment] without a fair hearing makes me wonder about the manner in which the media operates. The accused are lynched in public, and later, when found innocent, the news is buried in the back of the paper."
Jabs on animals: "We started using animals when my wife and I bought our three daughters a puppy for Christmas in 1978. A puppy is the cutest and best pet of all, in my opinion. My daughter suggested I put the puppy in my TV commercials. We did and we started getting positive responses."
Nugent on animals: "I have made it a point to raise my family on wonderful, game-rich wildground, thereby maximizing the sightings that can be shared and talked about together." And then shot, in "the fundamental function of man and beast, balancing their natural roles in the inescapable cycle of life and death."
Nugent on government: "Follow your heart, your instincts, the Constitution and the facts. It is time to 'keep and bear' without some bureaucrat's stamp of approval."
Jabs: "The trouble with politics is you have to learn to give different speeches...I would not have the stomach nor the patience for politics. I've called my own shots since I was 24, and you can't do that in politics."
Of course, Nugent not only calls his own shots, he fires. Take this on Columbine: "Bad guys are classic cowards," he says. "But the horror of it all is it appears nearly everybody subscribes to the cowardly lion routine. Even Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold in Littleton, Colorado, were nearly robotic in their methodical slaughter. After emptying a double-barreled sawed-off shotgun, one calmly knelt with his back to grown adults and athletes, sniveling, while he conversed with his next victim for minutes on end. He fired twice from an obviously two-barreled shotgun, folks! Somebody take it away from him and beat him senseless, PLEASE!!"
Jabs stays away from current events, but does offer a copy of the sixteen-page sales-consultant job description, as well as American Furniture Warehouse's delivery policy.
Only in America. But then, as the Nuge says, "Your life starts at Point A and ends at Point B. Kick maximum ass!"
Or Jabs: "Never be undersold!"
The Joy of Socks: Apparently, Qwest CEO Joe "Macho" Nacchio reads financial pages, not fashion sections. Otherwise, how could he have missed the liberating news that pantyhose -- or "foot stockings," as the Qwest dress code so quaintly calls the synthetic sausage casings -- are out, out, out among trendsetters from Los Angeles to New York City to London? Sadly, none of those cities happen to fall in the fourteen states whose phone service -- and employees -- Qwest acquired with the completion of its merger with US West last month.

You have successfully signed up for your selected newsletter(s) - please keep an eye on your mailbox, we're movin' in!
After Nacchio rolled up his starched white shirtsleeves to make Qwest's cozy commercials promoting the revamped company, one of the first orders of business was to further define its dress code for old and new employees alike. "Policy," states the memo. "Valued customers and suppliers visit our offices frequently. In order to present a professional company image and working atmosphere, Qwest relies on employees to maintain a clean and neat business-like appearance by dressing according to personal taste while at the same time avoiding extremes not appropriate to a business environment. Employees also have a responsibility to keep their work environment neat and clean.
"Procedure: The dress code for Qwest Communications is defined as business casual from Monday through Thursday and casual wear from Friday through Sunday. Remember that business casual does not mean sloppy, ragged or weekend style casual, it is one that demonstrates a clean, professional, yet casual image (primarily without tie and jacket) for men and slacks, blouses, dresses and skirts for women. These guidelines are not all-encompassing and therefore good judgement on your part as to the appropriateness of business office attire is needed. When in doubt, check with your supervisor before wearing.
"To maintain a professional appearance, it is recommended that foot stockings be worn at all times. This may include socks, hosiery, tights, knee-highs, or other foot stockings."
For those who fail to toe the company line, be warned: Like foot stockings, you can run, but you can't hide.

Police: Man found in Flint River was murdered
Fri, 18 Sep 2009 14:51:48 GMT —
An autopsy on a body found floating in the Flint River this week shows multiple stab wounds to the torso and face.
Police say they're investigating the case as a homicide. Officers say the identity of the black male has still not been positively confirmed; though investigators say they have a strong feeling the victim is 52-year-old Willie Haggines. A personal ID card of Haggines was found inside a wallet on the body. Investigators are soliciting the help of the public on Haggines' whereabouts from September 12 through September 16.
No official crime scene has been established. Haggines was last seen in the four points area around Mobile Avenue, Moultrie Road and Radium Springs Road.

Better take a head count before you get on the HOV lanes in Northern Virginia Tuesday.
Police are cracking down on HOV violators -- it is the fifth such effort in recent months.
Officers will be out on I-66, 395 and 95 until 9:30 a.m.
If you get caught, get ready to pull out your checkbook. There is a $125 fine for the first offense, a $250 fine for a second violation and a $500 fine for a third. Get caught a fourth time and it will cost you $1,000.

Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center, with one of two trauma centers in Las Vegas, has announced it will lay off 100 workers, including a dozen registered nurses.
Managers, support staff and ancillary employees are included in the mix, said Dan Davidson, a spokesman for Sunrise Hospital.
An increase in uninsured patients and a lack of reimbursement from the state for indigent care led to the layoffs, Davidson said.
Sunrise provided $110 million in uncompensated care in 2008, Davidson said.
At Sunrise Children's Hospital, 60 percent of its patients are either uninsured or on Medicaid, Davidson said.
Hospital administrators looked at controlling supply costs and other efficiency measures before resorting to layoffs.
"Yet we still see we have a financial burden and made the difficult decision to downsize our workforce," Davidson said. "This was a very difficult decision for us."
Sunrise is part of HCA, a nationwide hospital and healthcare provider.
After hospital administrators meet individually with all of the employees facing layoffs, Sunrise is scheduling an employee placement meeting next week where workers can meet other medical facilities and learn of job opportunities.
Since there are HCA institutions in California and other nearby states, Sunrise will try to match jobs out of state with the unemployed workers, Davidson said.

Unless one of the backup files in /var/lib/dpkg for status and such happen to be valid, then there is no way to restore it since the database is the primary source (and probably only) source of the information. I also fail to imagine how dpkg --set-selections could cause any problems. All it does is change the setting on packages to indicate which should be installed and (if you had any packages that were removed but not purged) flag some for removal. Packages that were fully purged won't change state since they should be in the list in the first place. There should not be any way it could cause reinstall of packages, only install or remove when you use --set-selections. -- Len Sorensen
