PhotoTech lecture list with links to Google videos and slides

Patents

I don't have copies of all my 50 or so patents on-line, but can provide them on request. Here's a PDF file of all their front pages.

Tech Papers

The only things so far here are some of my tech papers from recent years, and a few older ones. Co-authors and other details are noted in the PDFs. If you need more citation details, ask me, or for most cases look it up at IEEE Xplore or CiteSeer.IST
