Ikegami Tsushinki
() is a Japanese manufacturer of professional and broadcast television equipment, especially professional video cameras, both for electronic news gathering and studio use. The company was founded in 1946. History Ikegami introduced the first portable 4 1/2-inch Image Orthicon tube hand-held TV camera. The camera made its debut in the United States in February 1962, when CBS used it to document the launching of NASA's Friendship 7, its first crewed space mission to orbit the Earth. In 1972, Ikegami introduced the HL-33, the first compact hand-held color video camera for electronic news gathering (ENG). The compact ENG cameras made live shots easier and—when combined with portable videotape recorders—provided an immediate alternative to 16mm television news film, which required processing before it could be broadcast. In addition to ENG, these cameras saw some use in outside broadcasts in Britain, particularly for roaming footage that was not possible to capture using the ...

Computer Othello
Computer Othello refers to computer architecture encompassing computer hardware and computer software capable of playing the game of Othello. It was notably included in Microsoft Windows from 1.0 to XP, where it is simply known as Reversi. Availability There are many Othello programs such as NTest, Saio, Edax, Cassio, Pointy Stone, Herakles, WZebra, and Logistello that can be downloaded from the Internet for free. These programs, when run on any up-to-date computer, can play games in which the best human players are easily defeated. This is because although the consequences of moves are predictable for both computers and humans, computers are better at exploring them. Search techniques Computer Othello programs search for any possible legal moves using a game tree. In theory, they examine all positions / nodes, where each move by one player is called a "ply". This search continues until a certain maximum search depth or the program determines that a final "leaf" position ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
