President of Steag Industrie, Betz established the company after licensing wafer-drying technology from Philips. Huber, the director of application at Wacker Siltronic, helped...
• Machine's Eye View of Poultry and Produce
  Biophysicist Moon Kim tests a portable imaging device equipped with a head-mount display for sanitation inspection of food-processing equipment. Take another look at the hardhat and safety glasses on the food safety inspector. Mounted on the hardhat is a small camera and a flashlight that gives off...
• Mastering color
  base opacity and color tone. With powder masterbatches, pigments and dyes are preblended and added to the resin directly at the processing equipment. Since there is no predispersion step, agglomerated pigments can be a problem. However, this is not a bad choice for tinting transparent resins...
