6 unusual facts about Fraunhofer


Achromatic lens

The choice of glass gives the mean refractive index, often written as n d (for the refractive index at the Fraunhofer "d" spectral line wavelength), and the Abbe number V (for the reciprocal of the glass dispersion).

Focus recovery based on the linear canonical transform

As the meaning of “canonical”, the linear canonical transform (LCT) is a scalable transform that connects to lots of important kernels such as the Fresnel transform, Fraunhofer transform and the fractional Fourier transform.

Hartmut Surmann

Hartmut Surmann (born 1963 in Dülmen, Germany) is a Roboticist, Professor for Autonomous Systems at Applied University of Gelsenkirchen and Researcher at the Fraunhofer Institut Intelligente Analyse- und Informationssystem (IAIS).

Kirchhoff's diffraction formula

If all the terms in f(x', y) can be neglected except for the terms in x and y, we have the Fraunhofer diffraction equation.

Kodaikanal Solar Observatory

The displays are mainly pictorial, with a few models, a live solar image and the Fraunhofer spectrum also presented.

MobileHCI

The general chair was Prof. Dr. Reinhard Oppermann from Fraunhofer FIT, and the program chairs were Dr. Markus Eisenhauer, Prof. Dr. Matthias Jarke, and Prof. Dr. Volker Wulf.


Michael Griebel

Griebel is currently director of the Institute for Numerical Simulation at the University of Bonn, and the Fraunhofer Institute for Algorithms and Scientific Computing in Sankt Augustin.

Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics

PEP - how the journal is typically referred to in the energetic materials community - was founded in 1976 by Hiltmar Schubert, then director of the Fraunhofer-Institut für Chemische Technologie (ICT) Pfinztal/Germany and Verlag Chemie/Weinheim.

Ultra Low Delay Audio Coder

The Ultra Low Delay Audio Coder (ULD) is a development of the Fraunhofer Institute for Digital Media Technology (IDMT), which is headed by one of the fathers of MP3, Karlheinz Brandenburg, and of the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits (IIS).

Video Coding Experts Group

In 2000, Thomas Wiegand (Fraunhofer HHI) was appointed as an associated rapporteur (vice-chairman) of VCEG.
