The MakerBot Digitizer 3D-scanned Laser Cat model was used in this test of different layer thicknesses. The cat was scaled down to 50 mm in height and then 3D printed at the following layer heights:
- 0.40 mm (400 microns)
- 0.30 mm (300 microns)
- 0.20 mm (200 microns)
- 0.10 mm (100 microns) - Average width of a strand of human hair
- 0.05 mm (50 microns)
- 0.02 mm (20 microns)
All six cats where 3D printed on a MakerBot Replicator 2 with TRUE BLUE PLA plastic at 230 degrees C.
All layers where 3D printed with MakerWare's standard values as follows:
(400 microns) - 15% infill - perimeters 2 - speed 90 mm/s
(300 microns) - 15% infill - perimeters 2 - speed 90 mm/s
(200 microns) - 15% infill - perimeters 2 - speed 90 mm/s
(100 microns) - 15% infill - perimeters 2 - speed 90 mm/s
(50 microns) - 15% infill - perimeters 2 - speed 60 mm/s
(20 microns) - 15% infill - perimeters 2 - speed 40 mm/s

In an increasingly digitized world, vast amounts of data have the potential to produce new and insightful information, and there is a growing debate on how the public and private sector can maximize the benefits of big data. One of the richest sources of big data is the data captured by the use of ICTs. ICT-related big data are helping to produce development insights of relevance to public policy, such as understanding socio-economic wellbeing and poverty, as well as improving the monitoring of the information society. This panel will examine opportunities and challenges in using big data from the ICT industry to complement existing ICT indicators. It will present the new ITU Big Data Strategy and discuss the role of different players, including the ICT industry, governments, and international organisations. The session will address the following questions:
How can big data complement current information society measurements based on official statistics?
What is the role of the ICT industry as key source of big data?
How can the private and public sector cooperate to maximize the benefit of using big data?
What should international organizations such as ITU do to encompass big data sources in their statistical work?

â–¶ "Amahl and the Night Visitors is an opera in one act by Gian Carlo Menotti with an original English libretto by the composer. It was commissioned by NBC and first performed on December 24, 1951, in New York City, at NBC studio 8H in Radio City Music Hall, where it was broadcast live on television as the debut production of the Hallmark Hall of Fame. It was the first opera specifically composed for television in America."

This is my home-brewed setup for digitizing film negatives. I used to think a scanner would be the way to do this but after reading some things on the interwebs and seeing a comparison of the results, I decided that I already had the best scanner available--my DSLR.
All I needed was a decent macro that could photograph the negatives at 1.0x (1:1) magnification. That's because using a full-frame camera body, I am imaging the 35mm film at the same size as the sensor (36x24mm). That gives me all the good (and the bad) original detail using a 20 megapixel camera which has at least as much detail as the original film grains.
The foundation is a piece of 11-3/4 x 24 x 3/4-inch laminated shelving material ($4 USD) with a cut off piece of polycarbonate cutting board ($2 at Walmart), serving as the light diffuser, fastened at a 90-degree angle by a pair of L brackets ($2). From there, black foam board ($3) was assembled to contain a Pacific Image film holder ($10 at B&H) that can slide to easily side-to-side. There's about a 40x30mm hole cut into the foam board backing to allow light through to the negative.
A cheap ($13 at Amazon) macro focusing rail slider is mounted to the board via a standard 1/4-inch (20 thread) bolt through a hole drilled through the centerline at a position based on the minimum focusing distance (MFD) of the macro lens with room to go back about 10cm. To get 1:1 magnification on a macro, you have to be at the lens' MFD. Currently, mounting and unmounting the camera is my biggest pain as I have to unscrew the bolt from the bottom, then unscrew the focus rail from the body. Adding a quick-release mount to the macro focus rail would be ideal and may be my next tweak.
From there, the camera is powered by via an AC adapter ($20 at B&H) so as not to blow through batteries with the constant use of Live-view LCD view for adjustments. Although everything is fairly rigidly mounted and stable on this self-contained platform, I still use my remote/intervalometer ($17 at Amazon) for shutter release.
I tinkered with a few different light sources, but in the end went with a big 40-watt (2800-lumen 6500K) CFL for illumination ($7) housed in a 8-1/2 inch clamp light shell ($5).
The materials for the "light table" were about $56 USD total. The remote and AC adapter for the camera are another $37 getting cheap knock-offs that are all well-rated on Amazon and B&H.
The macro lens you choose can vary greatly. If you already have one, great. If not, you could buy-and-sell used without much cost in the end and is typically cheaper than renting.
Why no tripod? The adjustments are too meticulous and setting it up each time and getting everything aligned just right is a royal pain! I also found that most floors flex too much--just shifting your weight around can shift the distance by a fraction of a millimeter and make your image slightly out-of-focus. The self-contained platform never suffers from this.

We used a Microsoft Kinect and SCENECT to laser scan 3D models of various objects.
We're currently in the process of digitizing the Lear Siegler ADM-3A serial terminal.
BugBlue is monitoring the scan progress and giving instructions to MacSimski (the Kinect operator).
MacSimski built the rotating disc out of a motor, computer power supply, skateboard wheels and some wood. Both speed and direction can be adjusted.

Bill Ciesla summarized his role in the introduction of GIS to Region 6 in his 2005 Founder's Award address (wfiwc.org/awards/founders-award/speech/ciesla):
"One of the technologies we began to evaluate early on at MAG was geographic information systems (GIS). The ability to integrate spatial information on insect and disease damage with land ownership, vegetation types and other thematic map layers and generate data tables using a computer was, to us in MAG, a fascinating concept. Soon terms such as "polygons, arcs, points, digitizing" and "overlay processing" became an integral part of our vocabulary. Unfortunately, there were people in the Forest Service that didn't share our enthusiasm and had some real concerns about committing to this technology. For a time, a moratorium was placed on GIS development and implementation in the Forest Service until some basic issues could be addressed. However, after we moved to Fort Collins, we developed a partnership with the Western Energy Land Use Team (WELUT) of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, which had an office in the same complex we were housed. This group had developed one of the first working and user friendly GIS, a system known as the Map Overlay Statistical System (MOSS). Together we conducted a number of tests and demonstrations with this system (Pence et al. 1983), organized GIS training sessions and eventually made a copy of the MOSS software available to R-6.
...
By the time I arrived in R-6, some the FPM staff was already involved in the use of the MOSS GIS, which my former unit, MAG, had made available several years earlier. With a little encouragement, in 1989, Tommy Gregg, Kathy Sheehan, Tim McConnell and several others on the FPM staff produced the first R-6 regional insect conditions map generated by a GIS. One of my proudest moments was to display this map at a meeting of the R-6 Leadership Team."

We librarians are stuck in the thought that digitalization has to be something fancy and you need to be a professional in librarianship to do it and to benefit from it. That's bullshit of course. A lot of students read a pile of photocopies and then throw the pile away after the exam. We librarians should support the digitalization of these photocopies and offer e-book readers to our patrons as an alternative for reading these texts.
