CUSTOMERS BANK REMOTE DEPOSIT SERVICE AGREEMENT

This Remote Deposit Service Agreement (“Agreement”) is incorporated by reference into the Customers Bank Cash Management Master Services Agreement to add a business remote deposit capture service (the “Service”) to your cash management services with Customers Bank. The Service allows you to make deposits to your designated business deposit accounts at Customers Bank from your place of business by using a desktop scanner to scan and convert paper checks to either digitized check images or Automated Clearing House (“ACH”) paperless debit entries and delivering the images, data and information required hereby to the Bank through a secure Internet website. As used in this Agreement, the terms “Bank,” "we," "us," and "our" refer to Customers Bank. The terms "you" or "your" refer to the account holder(s) authorized by the Bank to use the Service, all persons authorized to sign on the account holder’s deposit accounts, and anyone else who uses the Service with the permission of the account holder(s). By using the Service, you agree to, and acknowledge that you have read and understand, the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Cash Management Master Services Agreement. 1) SCOPE OF AGREEMENT This Agreement governs your use of the Service. This Agreement is a schedule to our Cash Management Master Services Agreement. This Agreement cancels, supersedes, and replaces any prior business remote deposit capture agreements or schedules that you may have entered into with the Bank, including, without limitation, the “Schedule to Cash Management Master Services Agreement Remote Deposit Capture Services.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, the terms and conditions in this Agreement are in addition to, and do not cancel, supersede or replace the Cash Management Master Services Agreement, or any other Bank account agreements, rules, disclosures, procedures, standards, policies, or signature cards relating to your deposits, loans, services, or other business relationships with the Bank. Additionally, your use of the Service will be subject to all of the terms or instructions which may appear on a computer screen when you access the Service, and Bank side letters, user guides and other documentation that the Bank may provide to you from time to time about the Service. Your use of the Service is also subject to, and you agree to comply with, the rules and regulations of the National Automated Clearing House Association (NACHA) rules, all other applicable clearing house rules, the Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act, 15 U.S.C. 5001-5018 (“Check 21”), Federal Reserve Regulation CC (12 C.F.R. Part 229)(“Reg CC”), Office of Foreign Assets Control sanction laws, the Bank Secrecy Act, the USA PATRIOT Act, the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in Pennsylvania (“UCC”), and all other applicable state and federal laws and regulations, all as amended from time to time. 2) HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE SERVICE In order to use the Service, you must have a computer with high speed Internet access (DSL or better is preferred). You must also use the operating system(s), Internet browser(s) and hardware, which includes a compatible check scanner, and software 1

that satisfy all technical specifications and other requirements established by the Bank from time to time. You must maintain software and operating system patches and updates, and you must install, maintain and update a current antivirus system in order to ensure that no checks or files you transmit to us will contain any viruses or other harmful, intrusive or invasive codes. You agree to scan your computer hardware and software on a regular basis using a reliable computer virus detection product in order to detect and remove computer viruses. You further agree to promptly install and implement any changes and upgrades to the Service and/or the hardware and software as required by us from time to time, including, but not limited to, those intended to ensure compliance with regulatory changes or to protect the integrity and security of the Service. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, you are solely responsible, at your own expense, for purchasing, installing, operating, testing and maintaining all hardware, software, and other equipment necessary to use the Service. You must install and test your scanner, your system, and any other required hardware and software before you make your first deposit through the Service. You agree that you will perform, or cause to be performed, all vendor recommended maintenance, repairs, upgrades and replacements, and such performance shall be rendered by properly trained personnel. We are not responsible for, and you release us from any and all claims or damages resulting from, or related to, any computer virus or related problems that may be associated with using the Service, electronic mail or the Internet. If hardware and/or software is provided by us to you for use of the Service, you agree to: (a) implement and use the equipment and software, as instructed by us to transmit the output files to us; (b) use the equipment and software solely for the purpose of transmitting output files to us and not for communications with others; (c) not allow access to the equipment and software or the use of the Service by any person other than your authorized personnel or representatives; and (d) comply with the applicable software license. Although we may provide certain “first level” support to you with respect to the equipment and software, we shall have no responsibility whatsoever for maintenance, support, infringement protection, or otherwise with respect to the equipment or software. You agree to not reproduce the software or other functionality or content included or used with the Service or on which the Service is based, or decompile, reverse engineer or disassemble the software or otherwise attempt to derive computer source code from the software functionality of the Service. Upon termination of this Agreement by you or the Bank, or upon request by the Bank for any reason, you will, at your expense, within seven (7) days after the date of the termination of the Agreement or the Bank’s request, as applicable, promptly uninstall and remove all software provided for the Service from your computer and return to us all equipment provided for the Service, including scanners. You will be responsible and liable to us for the replacement cost of all lost, stolen or damaged (reasonable wear and tear excepted) equipment that was provided to you by us, including scanners. 2

3) CHECK REQUIREMENTS a) General Requirements. You agree that you will only scan and deposit a check(s) as that term is defined in Federal Reserve Regulation CC (each such check and other item shall be referred to in this Agreement as a “Check” and, if more than one, “Checks”). You agree that the image of the check that is transmitted to the Bank shall be deemed an “item” within the meaning of Article 4 of the UCC. Information on the Check. Any image of a Check that you transmit through the Service must accurately and legibly provide all of the information on the front and back of the check at the time it was presented to you. You must endorse the original Check with a restrictive endorsement before scanning it by applying your signature and the legend, “For deposit only,” followed by the title and account number of the account to which you are depositing the Check. Any virtual electronic endorsement on any Check or other item deposited through the Service shall have the same binding effect as a stamped, hand written or other manual endorsement. You authorize the Bank to supply an endorsement on your behalf for deposit to your account if a Check is missing or has an improper endorsement. You agree that the scanned image of each Check shall provide the following information: (1) identification of the drawer and the paying bank that is preprinted on the Check, including complete, full-field, and accurate MICR (magnetic ink character recognition) line, American Bankers Association routing transit number, number of the account on which the Check is drawn, and drawer signature(s), (2) amount, payee, date, Check number, and (3) other information placed on the Check before imaging, such as any required identification written on the front of the Check and any endorsements applied to the back of the Check. c) Your Representations and Warranties with Respect to Prohibited Checks. The Bank in its sole discretion may refuse to accept, and you agree, warrant and represent that you will not use the Service to deposit, Checks or other items which: i} ii) are payable to any person or entity other than you; are drawn or otherwise issued by you, or any of your affiliates, or by any other person on any of your accounts or any account on which you are an authorized signer or joint account holder, or any account of any business entity of which you are a principal, officer or authorized signer; iii) contain obvious alteration to any of the fields on the front of the Check, or which you know or suspect, or should know or suspect, are fraudulent or otherwise not authorized by the account holder;

iv} are substitute checks as defined by Check 21 or IRDs (image replacement documents) that purport to be substitute checks and which have been previously endorsed by a financial institution; v) are drawn on a financial institution located outside the United States or its territories or are not payable in United States currency; vi) are dated more than six (6 ) months prior to the date of deposit; vii) have a duplicate MICR code line; viii) are missing or have an invalid or incorrect routing number; ix) are photocopies or otherwise not original paper Checks when they are scanned; x) are issued to multiple parties; xi) are third party or second endorsed Checks; xii) do not qualify as “original checks” as defined in Regulation CC d) Image Quality. Both the front and back of each Check must be transmitted to the Bank as provided in any user guide or other instructions provided to you by the Bank or the Service, including on-screen instructions. The Bank in its sole discretion may refuse to accept Checks that do not meet our image quality requirements. This includes, without limitation Checks where: i) the front and/or back image is too large or too small; ii) the front and/or back image is too light or too dark; iii) the front and back images have a dimension or other mismatch or discrepancy; iv) the image has torn or folded edges, cut corners, or other damage; v) the image does not comply with the standards for image quality established from time to time by the American National Standard Institute (ANSI), the Federal Reserve Board, and any other regulatory agency, clearing house or association, or by us, or by applicable law. 4) REJECTION OF DEPOSITS BY THE BANK Upon our receipt from you of each file containing Check images and all other required data and information from or pertaining to the Checks and/or all batched ACH required data and information, we shall grant your designated account with a provisional credit for the total amount of such file. The provisional credit is subject to final payment of the Checks and subject to the terms of your Bank Account Agreement. You agree that all deposits received by us are subject to our verification and final inspection and may be rejected by us in our sole discretion, and you shall remain liable to the Bank for any errors, inaccuracies, breach of warranties and any other loss sustained by, or claim made against the Bank. The Bank is not liable for any service or late charges that may be imposed against you due to the Bank’s rejection of any Check that you transmit for deposit through the Service. You acknowledge and agree that, while we normally provide notice of 4

rejected deposits, we may reject any Check transmitted through the Service in our sole discretion without notice to you, and we will not be liable for any such rejection or failure to notify you of such rejection. If we reject a Check for remote deposit, you must physically deposit the original Check. 5) ITEMS RETURNED UNPAID You are solely responsible for verifying that Checks that you deposit by using the Service have been received and accepted for deposit by the Bank. The Bank will provide you with written notice of any deposits that it is unable to process because Checks were returned unpaid by the payor financial institution. You agree to accept such notices at your email address on file with us, but we may choose any reasonable method for providing notices under this Agreement. In the event that the Bank credits your account for a Check that is subsequently dishonored and returned, you authorize the Bank to debit the amount of such Check plus any associated fees from the account. Our right to charge your account will apply without regard to whether the Check was timely returned or whether there is any other claim or defense that the Check was improperly returned. You understand and agree, that since the original Check is your property, it will not be returned and the Bank may charge back an image of the Check, an ACH debit, or other electronic or paper debit to your account. You further agree that the image may be in the form of an electronic or paper reproduction of the original Check or a substitute check. You may not use the Service to deposit a substitute check and you may not deposit the original Check through the Service or in any other manner if you receive a dishonored Check. You agree to abide by any additional instructions we may provide to you in connection with returned items. If the Bank receives a returned item after you or we have terminated this Agreement, then you agree that we may debit the amount of such item plus associated fees from your account, or if you have closed such account, you agree to pay the Bank for the returned item plus associated fees within seven (7) days after the date of our request for payment. 6) YOUR DUTY TO REPORT ERRORS The Bank will provide you with periodic statements that will identify the deposits that you make using the Service. In addition, you may access the Bank’s Online Access service for information about your deposits, deposit adjustments, Checks and other debit transactions on your accounts. You agree that it is your responsibility to review all such information that the Bank makes available to you in a timely manner to verify that deposits made through the Service have been received and accepted by the Bank and are accurate. Receipt of an item by the Bank through the Service does not constitute an acknowledgement by the Bank that the item is error-free or that we will be liable for the item. You agree to notify us of any errors, omissions, or discrepancies in a deposit as promptly as practicable. You agree to cooperate in any investigation by the Bank of any unsuccessful or lost transmission. Subject to applicable law, any failure by you to notify the Bank of any error, omission or other discrepancy in accordance with this Agreement and your Bank Account Agreement shall relieve the Bank of any liability for such error, omission or discrepancy. 5

7) AVAILABILITY OF THE SERVICE The Service is generally available 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. At certain times the Service may not be available due to system maintenance or circumstances beyond our control. If you are not able to use the Service to make deposits you may physically mail or deliver your deposits to the Bank through our branches or through certain of our ATMs. Deposit of original Checks at a branch of the Bank or an ATM shall be governed by the terms and conditions contained in your Bank Account Agreement and not by the terms of this Agreement. The Bank is not responsible for providing an alternate method of remote deposit if the Service is not available. 8) FUNDS AVAILABILITY The funds for the Checks that you deposit through the Service may not be immediately available to you. The funds for all accepted Checks will be available in accordance with the Bank’s Funds Availability Disclosure, as amended from time to time, a copy of which is incorporated by reference into this Agreement. In order to determine the availability of your funds, you will need to determine the date and time that the Checks and all required data and information are received by the Bank. The deposit cut-off time for the Service is 6:00 PM EST. The Bank reserves the right to change the cut-off time in its sole discretion. Such change shall be effective immediately and may be implemented prior to your receipt of notice thereof. You may contact us at any time to verify the current cut-off time. If you complete the scanning process and receive your electronic deposit receipt, Checks that you deposit before the cut-off time on our business days will be considered as received that same business day. For purposes of determining when a deposit is received, the Bank’s records shall be determinative. Checks that are received by us through the Service after the cut-off time on a business day, or on any day that is not a business day, will be considered as received by us on the next business day. You agree that it is your responsibility to understand and build into your transmission schedules the appropriate deadlines necessary to meet our funds availability schedules and time changes associated with Daylight Savings Time. 9) STORAGE, SECURITY AND DESTRUCTION OF ORIGINAL CHECKS You agree that once a Check has been deposited through the Service, the original Check is your property and not the property of the Bank. You shall securely store the original Check for a period of fourteen (14) days after you receive notice from the Bank that it has been accepted. While the original Check is in your possession, you agree to use a high degree of care to safeguard the original Check and related files against security risks. Security risks include, without limitation, the theft or reproduction of the original Check or unauthorized use of the information on the Check or in the file. You shall take appropriate security measures to ensure that only authorized personnel shall have access to the original Check, that the information 6

contained on the Check shall not be disclosed, and that the original Check will not be duplicated, will not be scanned more than one time, and will not be represented, redeposited or negotiated in any way. Upon request by the Bank you will promptly, but in any event within five (5) business days, provide to the Bank a retained original Check, or a sufficient copy of the front and back of the Check in form acceptable to the Bank, to aid in the clearing and collection process, to resolve claims by third parties, or for the Bank’s audit or fraud loss prevention purposes. After the fourteen (14) day period expires, you shall stamp “VOID” on and/or destroy the original Check by shredding it or by any other commercially reasonable permanent deletion manner that does not allow the original Check to be accessed by an unauthorized person(s) and in a manner that the original Check is no longer readable or capable of being reconstructed. You agree to be responsible to us for any losses, costs, expenses, and damages we may incur as a result of your failure to comply the provisions of this Section. 10) PROHIBITION AGAINST REPRESENTING CHECKS Once you have used the Service to deposit a Check you agree not to present or attempt to present the original Check or a substitute check of the original Check again for deposit (“Represent”) through the Service or through any other means. You further agree not to allow anyone else, either directly or indirectly, to Represent or attempt to Represent the original Check or a substitute check of the original Check by any means. Should you or another party Represent a Check or substitute check in violation of this Agreement, the amount of the Check will be debited from your account, and you agree to indemnify, defend and hold the Bank harmless from and against all liability and damages that may result from any claims, suits or demands from third parties with respect to the Represented original Check or substitute check. 11) DEPOSIT LIMITS The Bank reserves the right to establish and assign to you exposure limitations for the Service (including limits on the dollar amount and/or number of Checks and/or files that you may transmit through the Service each day) and to modify such limits from time to time in the Bank’s sole discretion, and you agree to comply with all such limits. 12) PROHIBITED BUSINESS ACTIVITIES You are prohibited from engaging in, and you represent and warrant to the Bank, that you do not and shall not engage in, any business or activity that: (a) would result in being or becoming a money service business that regularly cashes third party Checks, sells money orders, or handles wire transfers or other financial services for third parties; (b) would result in accepting restricted transactions in connection with another person in unlawful Internet gambling as defined in the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act and Federal Reserve Regulation GG (Prohibition on Funding of Unlawful Internet Gambling); (c) would result in the Bank being used as a conduit for money laundering or other illicit purposes, or (d) would directly or indirectly result in any activity or use of the Service that may be illegal or fraudulent. 7

13) YOUR FINANCIAL INFORMATION; AUDIT BY THE BANK The Bank may request financial and other information from you from time to time in order to evaluate the risks of providing the Service to you. You agree to promptly provide any financial and other information we request to determine your financial condition and to ensure your compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. You authorize the Bank to investigate and audit your financial information, history, background, business activities, and records, including credit reports, before we authorize you to use the Service and for as long as you use the Service. You agree to inform the Bank immediately if there is a material adverse change in your financial circumstances. Upon request by the Bank, you authorize us to access any of your business premises for the purpose of ensuring that you are in compliance with this Agreement. If you fail to provide any requested financial or other information or access to your business premises, or if the Bank concludes, in its sole discretion, that the credit or other risks of continuing to provide the Service to you are not acceptable, the Bank may immediately terminate your access to the Service without prior notice. 14) BANK’S DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES Our duties and responsibilities are limited to those described in this Agreement, the Cash Management Master Services Agreement, your Bank Account Agreement, and any other agreements governing your account(s). We will use commercially reasonable care in performing our responsibilities under this Agreement. We shall not be responsible for suspension of performance of all or any of our obligations, responsibilities or covenants hereunder, whether expressed or implied, if at any time, or from time to time, compliance therewith is prevented or hindered by, or are in conflict with, any federal or state law, regulation or rule, the order of any court of competent jurisdiction, any act of God or of the public enemy, war, epidemic, strike, or work stoppages of the U.S. Postal Service and commercial carrier(s), or electric power disruption or shortage, telecommunications failure or computer failures; acts, omissions or errors of any carrier and/or agent operating between you and us or between us and any Federal Reserve Bank or other agency utilized to exercise transfers or any recipients of transferred funds; any incorrect, unauthorized or fraudulent use or other fraud by any person other than the Bank’s employees; or, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any other cause or circumstance beyond our control or other conditions or circumstances not wholly controlled by us, which would prohibit, retard or otherwise affect our complete or partial performance under this Agreement. 15) FEES AND CHARGES The fees and charges for your use of the Service are payable as applicable, as set forth in the fee schedule provided to you from time to time by the Bank in connection with the Service, and all other fees and charges as may be agreed upon from time to time by you and the Bank. You authorize the Bank to debit any fees and charges for the Service from your reserve amount and/or any of your accounts, on or after the date 8

such fees and charges are payable, even if such debit causes an overdraft on the account. If the account does not contain sufficient funds to pay such fees and charges on the date they are payable, then the Bank may, in its sole discretion, immediately terminate your access to the Service without prior notice. Should you fail or refuse to pay any fees or charges under this Agreement, you agree to pay all collection costs (including reasonable attorney's fees) that may be incurred by the Bank in connection therewith. We shall have the right to increase or decrease the fees and charges imposed for the Service and will notify you of the changes, to the extent required by law. Your use of the Service after any such changes have been made shall constitute your agreement to the changes. 16) RESERVE AMOUNT; SECURITY INTEREST We may require you to maintain a reserve of an amount that we determine in our sole discretion. We will provide notice to you of any reserve requirement, and you shall immediately fund the reserve amount with good funds. We may withhold and use any amounts we owe to you in order to maintain any reserve amounts at levels specified by us. You agree that any reserve will be deposited in a Bank account for the exclusive use by us for purposes of offsetting any of your obligations under this Agreement, without notice or demand to you. Your obligation to maintain a reserve shall survive the termination of this Agreement until all of your obligations under this Agreement have been fully offset. To further secure all of your obligations arising from this Agreement, you grant the Bank a continuing security interest in all your account(s) with us, all funds in those accounts, any reserve account(s) and funds therein, all items, whether now or hereafter established by or for your benefit, and all proceeds of the foregoing (“Collateral”). This security interest is supplemental to and not in lieu of the security interest granted by you to us under any other agreement. You authorize us to file such financing statement(s) as we deem necessary to perfect and maintain our security interest in the Collateral. 17) YOUR REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES In addition to your representations and warranties contained in other provisions of this Agreement, you represent and warrant that: a) b) All signatures on each Check or other item you deposit through the Service are authentic and authorized, and the Check or other item has not been altered. You are authorized to enforce each Check or other item you deposit or are authorized to obtain payment for each Check or other item on behalf of a person entitled to enforce the Check or other item. If you breach any of the representations and warranties in subsection (a) or (b) above, you agree to indemnify, defend and hold the Bank, its shareholders, officers, directors, employees, agents, and its and their successors, heirs and 9

assigns harmless from and against any and all liability, damages, or losses arising from any claims, suits or demands from third parties with respect to a breach of these representations and warranties. You authorize the Bank to debit your account for the amount of any such claim, suit or demand that results from a breach of warranty claim as defined under the UCC. c) You are solely responsible for any and all financial risk that may be associated with the use of the Service including without limitation the risk that a Check will be returned for insufficient funds. You are solely responsible for the instructions you provide to the Bank, for failure on your part to properly access the Service, and for input errors.

Motion Capture Technology

...enough to take out of the studio and deep into a real forest. And long enough that moviemakers no longer need to give a recognizable Hollywood star top billing to bring in audiences. In fact, if you passed the leading man of Dawn—Andy Serkis—on the street, you wouldn't recognize his face at all, for you never see it on the screen. That's because his performance in the woods (actually, forests near Vancouver, not San Francisco) wasn't fillmed traditionally, it was motion captured, and used as a framework for a computer-created realistic digital ape, Caesar. And, for the first time in my knowledge, it's the performances of the motion capture actors, not the regular actors portraying humans, that are getting all the good reviews from critics; there is even talk of the first best-actor Oscar nomination for a motion-capture performance. Motion capture enables moviemakers to create realistic non-human characters—including Gollum in Lord the Rings, the Na’vis of Avatar, and the intelligent chimpanzees and orangutans of Rise of the Planet the Apes. It has also let moviemakers digitally tweak human characters, aging...

Reaction Paper

...Reaction Paper The animation film “Frozen” has been the talk of the town since the Christmas season of 2013. And up ‘til now, it is still gaining a wider audience captivating the hearts of many, transcending from generations to generations. I’ve only come to watch Frozen around 2 weeks ago and I thought to myself, “Wow, ako nalang ata ang nilalang na hindi pa nakakapanood nito hahaha” but it’s never too late! I’ve watched it with my sisters and I can’t help but notice how it was made. I kept analyzing the background, the character design, and the movement itself. Let me elucidate my thoughts and insights on this 3D animated film. First, I guess we can’t take the critique out of us MMA individuals for we are already inculcated with theories and have applied our knowledge and skills into concrete work that repetition, it is already natural for us to notice things in animated films people wouldn’t normally notice. I love the character design of Elsa and Anna, two contrasting designs yet with striking similarity all the while making them both stand out in their own respective characters. There was also a great transition in the character growth of the two; I also adored the colours used for each character that evidently manifested all throughout the film. My favourite 3D mind bogglers are the amazing frozen icicles, soft cloud like snow, and the beautiful map design of Arendelle. I must say that the animators of Frozen are superb! The overall theme is perfectly executed. Second...

Accounting Theory Terms

...In finance, the efficient-market hypothesis (EMH), or the joint hypothesis problem, asserts that financial markets are "informationally efficient". In consequence of this, one cannot consistently achieve returns in excess of average market returns on a risk-adjusted basis, given the information available at the time the investment is made. There are three major versions of the hypothesis: "weak", "semi-strong", and "strong". The weak form of the EMH claims that prices on traded assets (e.g., stocks, bonds, or property) already reflect all past publicly available information. The semi-strong form of the EMH claims both that prices reflect all publicly available information and that prices instantly change to reflect new public information. The strong form of the EMH additionally claims that prices instantly reflect even hidden or "insider" information. Critics have blamed the belief in rational markets for much of the late-2000s financial crisis.[1][2][3] In response, proponents of the hypothesis have stated that market efficiency does not mean having no uncertainty about the future, that market efficiency is a simplification of the world which may not always hold true, and that the market is practically efficient for investment purposes for most individuals.[4] In political science and economics, the principal–agent problem or agency dilemma concerns the difficulties in motivating one party (the "agent"), to act in the best interests of another (the "principal") rather than...

Gas Dynamics in the Animated Movies

...Enhancing the Animated Movie-goers Experience with the Science of Gas Dynamics Angelia Romero Intro to Physical Science Professor Paquette Enhancing the Animated Movie-goers Experience with the Science of Gas Dynamics The goal of animated films has been immerse the audience in a fantasy world while maintaining some semblance of reality in those worlds. Various techniques are used to generate motion picture animation but they have all taken advantage of a phenomenon called “persistence of vision”. The “persistence of vision” is where the brain reads a rapid series of images as an unbroken movement. From the beginning, the animation was achieved by filming thousands and thousands of still images that were edited together to produce one continuous reel of film. Teams of artists meticulously drew each frame were tasked with capturing the aesthetic of the film while also mimicking the physics of the real world. Animation where each frame or cell is hand drawn and then compiled is called traditional or classical animation. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, generally considered the first full length animated feature using tradition animation, required 1,500,000 hand-drawn and colored frames to make the movie. As computing technology grew less expensive, movie studios like Disney gradually transitioned from the millions of hand paintings to computer based animation. Pixar finally broke the mold for animated films by releasing the world’s first computer animated feature...

History of Video Games

...Skills Paper : “The importance of using Video/Photo Reference in 3D Animation” By: Jeremy Smith Using Video/Photo reference in 3D Animation is the most accurate way to produce high quality Animations. Getting up and actually physically acting out and recording a few scenes or taking pictures of yourself blocking out poses is very beneficial when animating. Being able to convey what you see in a video or in a photograph into a pose or a full-fledged animation is a great skill to have when animating. “Free handing” animations or animating without reference is not just tricky and hard to do, but is a poor way to animate. Not using reference when animating can lead to many problems and difficulties when making animations. Personally I extensively use reference when animating. The majority of the time I will actually get up and physically record myself walking around or doing certain poses in front of a camera. . Doing this is not just good reference, but allows you as the animator to kind of walk in the shoes of the character and get a certain feel for what the animation should look and feel like. Most of the time animations are done at a frame rate of 24 FPS (Frames Per Second). Lets say you are animating a simple walk cycle – having a character walk a distance – and say you want the walk cycle to be 3 seconds long, recording yourself doing the walk cycle will tell you the timing of the animation and what poses should be at what frames(the pose at second 1 of the recording...

The Impact of Evolving Technologies

...The Impact of Evolving Technologies Computer generated imagery has spanned the verge of acceptability. “CGI frequently plays an essential role in the creation of the believable alternate reality necessary for the enjoyment of a film” (Goodyer, 2012). The animation cartoon looks is replaced with subtle distinction of movement and expression. “Motion capture represents a wholly new form of filmmaking, one that cannot and should not be limited by our previously held definitions of synthetic versus recorded cinema” (Freedman, 2012). The once was a drawing, that was made into several to produce a cartoon seen in films, times have changed with technology, now it is becoming more realistic and believable to audiences. “But no matter how impressive the trappings used to surround the audience–all the tricks of lighting and make–up and acting and computer–generated imagery–the root of all movies is the story, and without it, nothing else matters. If a story works, if it engages the audiences for two hours, then there is no wrong way to tell it. If the story doesn’t work, then the opposite is true” (Goodykoontz & Jacobs, 2011). Avatar (2009), was an American Science Fiction film set in the 22-century. “Avatar cost somewhere between $250 million and $500 million to make, yet weeks after its release, it had already grossed more than $1 billion worldwide for the Twentieth Century–Fox Film Corporation” (Gray, 2010). While to create such a costly movies was a big risk for...

Clean Coal

...of ‘‘Clean Coal’’: Expanding the National Conversation on Carbon Capture and Storage Technology to Include an Analysis of Potential Environmental Justice Impacts” I have come to agree with the article that coal will never be clean in a way that is feasible to anyone that has to live near these coal plants. First let’s define clean coal, clean coal as Liebert says is “The term ‘‘clean coal’’ is used to refer to burning coal in a way that reduces emissions or otherwise lessens coal’s environmental impact. ‘‘Clean coal’’ technology includes ‘‘washing’’ coal of minerals and other polluting components, gasification, and the treating of flue gases to lessen sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxide (NOx), and mercury emissions. In the context of climate change, the term ‘‘clean coal’’ is used most frequently as shorthand for technology that burns coal more efficiently and or decreases its CO2 emissions. While some might read that and think that we could find a way to get coal without having any CO2 emissions which is not the case. While carbon capture and storage sounds like fantastic technology that has three stages of capture, transport and storage. The technology to get CO2 out of the ground has not even been fully developed to get CO2 of the ground efficiently. There are three different ways to get CO2 but none are considered economical or have the required technology to make it feasible. With pre-combustion capture the CO2 is captured and then converted to gas which can be efficient...

Ccs Technology to Co2 and Ghg Emission

...piloting the carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) technology to reduce the emitted CO2 into the atmosphere by storing the captured CO2 underground, it could reduce GHG by 14-19% before 2050. Shell Ltd. Quest project is the first project to use CCS technology in the Athabasca oil sand projects in Canada. The Post combustion method is being used today at a smaller scale than desired. It is estimated that if post-combustion was to occur at a large industrial scale, it required energy of 25-37% of the total energy, and an estimate of about $3500/kW for the capital cost of an IGCC capture plant installation. Pre-combustion capture has a lower cost in carbon capture and higher capture percentage (90-95%) than the post-combustion capture, but requires more expense on the equipment in order for the process to work. Oxyfuel has the best efficiency (~90%) but requires 15% or more of the overall energy with a capital cost for oxyfuel installation of $1000/kW and a $60/MWh retrofit cost. Geological storage is a favourable method, where the captured CO2 travels to the storage site usually through pipelines and injected underground. An estimate of 600 million tonne of CO2/ year can be stored within the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin. The CO2 injected into the ground have a storage rate of more than 99% over 1000 years in well geological reservoirs. Geohazards are the main concern with CCS technology; leakage could occur during any stage of the CCS (i.e. capture, transport, and storage)...

Carbon Sink

...Carbon Sequestration and Carbon Sink More than 40 percent of CO2emissions in the US are due to electric power generation. Carbon dioxide (CO2) capture and sequestration (CCS) technology could reduce these emissions from power plants by 80 to 90 percent. For example, if CCS technology was applied to a 500 MW coal-fired power plant, emitting 3 million tons of C02 per year, the amount of greenhouse gas emissions avoided is equal to: • Planting more than 62 million trees, and waiting at least 10 years for them to grow • Avoiding annual electricity-related emissions from more than 300,000 homes CCS technology would also significantly reduce emissions from other industrial processes such as gas operations and cement facilities (EPA, 20xx). The world has lost 50 to 70 percent of its original carbon stock. This translates into a huge amount of soil carbon released into the atmosphere. Not long ago, in the 19th century, the US was home to vast tracts of prairie grass with rich, fertile soils. Today only three percent of those prairies are in existence. Current studies on carbon sinks center on soil carbon, how it escaped from the earth and how this process can be reversed. To take the research further, investigators are interested in how this knowledge can be used to slow rise of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which is a known cause global warming. There is hope that carbon can be placed back into the soil in places like the North China Plain, the interior of Australia and the...

...Automatic identification and data capture known as AIDC is the process of identifying and collecting data, while processing information automatically without the need for manual input. This automated process reduces labor cost, increases efficiency, insures accuracy and proficiency (if done properly), and leads to greater innovation. There are three types of AIDC technologies are barcodes, cards, and radio frequency identification known as RFID. Barcode technologies are the oldest and most successful AIDC technologies. There are two main sub categories of barcodes. The first category is linear barcodes which are made up of lines and spaces of multiple widths that create specific patterns recognizable to scanners by storing information vertically. These cards are used in many applications where the use of a simple numeric code can provide the key to a database such as product inventory. The limitation to these barcodes is that it can only hold up to eighty five characters or less. Figure 1 to the left is an illustration of a linear barcode that are used in the industry. The second sub category of barcode technologies is 2D barcodes which is a graphical image that stores information both horizontally and vertically. These barcodes allow large amounts of data to be stored in small spaces. These images are commonly found on app advertisement barcodes, which allow the user to access the full capabilities of the app. The 2D barcodes can hold several hundred to thousands of characters...
