Formulas, Ingredients and Production of CosmeticsTechnology of Skin- and Hair-Care Products in Japan

Today, young cosmetics researchers who have completed their graduate studies and have entered a cosmetics company are put through several years of training before they become qualified to design cosmetics formulations themselves. They are trai-ned so that they can design formulas not by a pro-cess of logic but by heart, like craftsmen, chefs, or carpenters. This kind of training seems a terrible waste of labor and time. To address this issue and allow young scientists to design novel cosmetics formulations, effectively bringing greater diversity of innovation to the industry, this book provides a key set of skills and the knowledge necessary for such pursuits. The volume provides the compre-hensive knowledge and instruction necessary for researchers to design and create cosmetics products.

Machine Vision HandbookThe automation of visual inspection is becoming more and more important in modern industry as a consistent, reliable means of judging the quality of raw materials and manufactured goods . The Machine Vision Handbook equips the reader with the practical details required to engineer integrated mechanical-optical-electronic-software systems. Machine vision is first set in the context of basic information on light, natural vision, colour sensing and optics. The physical apparatus required for mechanized image capture – lenses, cameras, scanners and light sources – are dis-cussed followed by detailed treatment of various image-processing methods including an intro-duction to the QT image processing system. QT is unique to this book, and provides an example of a practical machine vision system along with exten-sive libraries of useful commands, functions and images which can be implemented by the reader. The main text of the book is completed by studies of a wide variety of applications of machine vision in inspecting and handling different types of object.

Fabrication, Packaging and Integration of MEMS and Related MicrosystemsToday‘s artificially intelligent systems are fabrica-ted using sub-micron scale devices in micro and meso packages, primarily using electric signals and interfacing to the macroscopic level using the logic of programming. While packaging was once considered secondary, it has now developed its own standards throughout the world. This book discusses the three key features for next generation application specific systems-on-a-chip (SOC): Mixed Signals, Mixed Environmental Domains, and Varying Scales of Devices and Packaging Components. This book also addresses some of the non-traditional developments of MEMS and their applications.

Polymer Synthesis: Theory and PracticeFundamentals, Methods, Experiments

Emphasis is on a broad description of the ge-neral methods and processes for the synthesis, modification and characterization of macromo-lecules. These more fundamental chapters will be supplemented by selected and detailed experi-ments. In addition to the preparative aspects the book also gives the reader an impression on the relation of chemical constitution and morphology of Polymers to their properties, as well as on their application areas. Thus, an additional textbook will not be needed in order to understand the experiments.
