Chris Diaz
Born in Arlington, Texas, Chris Diaz has spent the majority of his life in the Dallas/Ft. Worth metroplex, but is now living in Brooklyn, New York. At an early age he discovered his love for music when introduced to the piano, as well as singing. When he was in middle school, he truly found his passion for singing when he began listening to the R&B harmonies of such popular groups as Boyz II Men, Shai, Silk, Jodeci, and many others. What started off as doo-whopping with friends in between classes developed into a love that he would dream of pursuing on a larger level. This dream would not be fulfilled until the fall of 1997 when he was introduced to Tha Manipulator, one of Dallas best known producers. Upon their meeting, Chris began to work on his first single entitled One For You. The single was featured on the Laced Worldwide compilation and became a popular request on 89.3 KNON. Chris was hooked and wanted to immediately take on a larger project. He was intent on completing a full length album, and the scheduled release was the winter of 2000.

The first single released, Shake It Up, was a highly requested song on 89.3, and became a popular cut from the album. The next record released truly launched Chris into new territory. The song was entitled My Special Lady, and it took the Dallas/Ft. Worth airwaves by storm. It was immediately the number one requested song and stayed on top of the KNON countdown for nearly 3 months. The release of the album, Every Story, was highly anticipated as copies were moving so fast, many stores could not keep them in stock. Over 1,000 copies were moved through retail chains in less than 2 months, and Chris even managed to chart on the Soundscan Dallas/Ft. Worth DMA among major label releases, an accomplishment almost unheard of when dealing with local artists. With his unique blend of styles Chris was booking shows all over the Dallas/Ft. Worth metroplex, performing in front of crowds of up to 10,000 people, and was even able to open for nationally known acts such as DJ Laz, South Park Mexican, and Lil Flip.

His latest project, Influenced, is definitely a dream fulfilled. Chris always wanted to work with different styles and genres, so he decided to study music at a local college. Upon completing his Bachelors Degree in music, Chris was able to produce and compose in new styles he was always interested in, but never attempted before. Containing 14 tracks ranging from pop to jazz to hip-hop, Influenced is quite simply all the music that he is influenced by and an expression rooted in several styles of American music. His first video, "For Nicole", was featured on BET.com in the "Ya Heard?" section for up and coming artists

Magnetic lens
A magnetic lens is a device for the focussing or deflection of charged particles, such as electrons or ions. Charged particles are deflected based upon the strength of the magnetic field, which can be varied by controlling the current flowing through several electromagnets. These typically find diverse applications, from cathode ray tubes to electron microscopy.

A magnetic lens typically consists of several electromagnets arranged in a quadrupole (or quadrapole) or hexapole format. This consists of several electromagnetic coils placed at the verticies of a square or hexagon respectively. From this configuration a convex magnetic field can be formed, which has the effect of focussing (or diverging) charged particles.

Ferro_Liquid_Display
This article desribes LFC-LCD, and compares it with ordinary TN-LCD (Twisted Nematic).

Ferro Liquid Crystal (FLC) displays is a variant of LCD displays. The main advantage is its extremely low response time. It also needs less energy. This opens up the possibility to make displays with true color pixels, not composed by three subpixels as in ordinary LCD displays.

To build up the image is works just like an ordinary TN-LCD. The difference is that the picture is created in three stages: Red, green, and blue. 1. The image is separated into red, green and blue grayscales. 2. The pixels are set to the red grayscale values. Then the red backlight is lit for a short time, and then turned off. 3. The pixels are then set to the green values, and the green backlight is activated for a short time, and then turned off. 4. The pixels are set to the blue values, and the blue backlight is activated. The high update speed (about 100 times faster than TN-LCD:s) make sure that the human eye sees no flicker. The three short bursts of R/G/B colors meld together.

Characteristics: - Up to 100 times faster response times compared to ordinary TN-LCD displays. - Every pixel is one pixel ony, not three R/G/B subpixels. - No TFT transistors blocking parts of the visible area. -

Advantages: - Less faulty pixels. - Higher resolutions possible. See [] for an example of 25 pixels in 0.294 mm (> 2100 dpi), which would translate to a horizontal resolution of about 25,000 pixels on an ordinary laptop. - Better image quality and a more saturated image area.
