Whois & Analysis for imaging-resource.com

A digital camera or digicam is a camera that produces digital images that can be stored in a computer, displayed on a screen and printed.

Most cameras sold today are digital, and digital cameras are incorporated into many devices ranging from PDAs and mobile phones (called camera phones) to vehicles.

In computing, an image scanner—often abbreviated to just scanner, although the term is ambiguous out of context (barcode scanner, CAT scanner etc)—is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting or an object and converts it to a digital image.

Commonly used in offices are variations of the desktop flatbed scanner where the document is placed on a glass window for scanning.

Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning "wands" to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and other applications.

Mechanically driven scanners that move the document are typically used for large-format documents, where a flatbed design would be impractical.

The ampere (SI unit symbol: A, dimension symbol: I), often shortened to "amp", is a unit of electric current.

In the International System of Units (SI) the ampere is one of the seven SI base units.

It is named after André-Marie Ampère (1775–1836), French mathematician and physicist, considered the father of electrodynamics.

A camera is an optical instrument for recording or capturing images, which may be stored locally, transmitted to another location, or both.

The images may be individual still photographs or sequences of images constituting videos or movies.

The camera is a remote sensing device as it senses subjects without physical contact.

The word camera comes from camera obscura, which means "dark chamber" and is the Latin name of the original device for projecting an image of external reality onto a flat surface.

The modern photographic camera evolved from the camera obscura.

The functioning of the camera is very similar to the functioning of the human eye.

Printing is a process for reproducing text and images using a master form or template.

The earliest examples include Cylinder seals and other objects such as the Cyrus Cylinder and the Cylinders of Nabonidus.

The earliest known form of woodblock printing came from China dating to before 220 A.D.

Later developments in printing include the movable type, first developed by Bi Sheng in China around 1040 AD.

Johannes Gutenberg introduced mechanical movable type printing to Europe in the 15th century.

His printing press played a key role in the development of the Renaissance, Reformation, the Age of Enlightenment, and the scientific revolution and laid the material basis for the modern knowledge-based economy and the spread of learning to the masses.
