Light field cameras are unsuitable for further acquisition of high-quality images due to their small depth of field, insufficient spatial resolution, and poor imaging quality. To address these issues, we proposed a novel four-focal-square microlens and light field system. A square aspheric microlens array with four orthogonal focal lengths was designed, in which the aperture of a single lens was 100 μm.

It is crucial to improve printing frequency and ink droplet quality in thermal inkjet printing. This paper proposed a hemispherical chamber, and we used the CFD (computational fluid dynamics model) to simulate the inkjet process. During the whole simulation process, we first researched the hemispherical chamber's inkjet state equipped with straight, conical shrinkage, and conical diffusion nozzles.

In this paper, a TaN film was used as the main material of the heating resistors, and two TaN films were placed in parallel to form the chopsticks-shaped structure. The heating time was divided into two sections, in which 0-0.
