The evaluation of the Kirchhoff integral giving the acoustic field due to one surface of an unbaffled disk radiator has been carried out using cylindrical polar coordinates with a moveable origin. This system makes it possible to covert a fairly complicated surface double integral to a single integral with fixed limits for the purpose of computation.
The conditions employed for blue-on-yellow perimetry (i.e. a blue stimulus filter and a high luminance yellow background) are in conflict with those that allow a maximum dynamic range. A modification is described for increasing the dynamic range of the Humphrey Field Analyzer (HFA) for blue-on-yellow perimetry. The position of the HFA stimulus bulb was lowered by reducing the length of both terminals. A concave mirror with a 28 mm radius of curvature was positioned behind the lowered stimulus bulb to give a filament image partly above and partly overlapping the original filament profile within the confines of the size V stimulus patch diameter. The modification achieved a 60% increase in the light output on the default 0 dB value of 10,000 apostilbs and, therefore, a useable dynamic range for blue-on-yellow perimetry of 2.94 log units. The effective increase in voltage supply to the stimulus bulb permitted a filament life of 260 operating hours. Furthermore, the modification ensured the correct calibration of the instrument.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
