  Miniature effect - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the field of special effects a miniature effect is a special effect generated by the use of scale models.
Scale models are often combined with high-speed photography to make gravitational and other effects scale properly.
Another form of miniature effect uses stop motion animation..

Effect: When the power of the tattoo is activated the ise zumi begins to glow a bright gold, something which is readily seen across the breadth of a battlefield.
Effect: Once a day for a number of hours equal to his School Rank the ise zumi is able to shrink himself and the clothes he is wearing down to any smaller size he desires, down to a minimum height of one inch.
Effect: The ise zumi may sometimes ‘notice’ illusions or that a person is tainted, under the effects of a spell, or otherwise disguised.

WonderVision is the evolution of foreground miniature photography which was once a staple of the industry producing incredibly realistic effects.
However, effects are useful in any type of movie or commercial to create unusual situations, dramatic imagery or to broaden vistas.
Conversely, foreground miniatures are shot at the same time as live action, therefore lighting, reflections, etc are all interactive and real.

 Miniature switch device with tactile effect - Patent 5144104
The present invention relates to a miniature switch device with tactile effect which can be integrated in a printed circuit, particularly for forming a keyboard with ultra flat keys.
It is obvious that by exerting on the cap a pressure oriented towards the printed circuit, deformation of this cap is caused until its central portion abuts at the end of travel against the second conducting area and provides its electric connection with the first conducting area.
According to the invention, this device is characterized in that the dimensions of the cap and those of the bore are determined so that, under the effect of an operating force, the central portion of the cap, after undergoing a reversal of concavity may be engaged in said central cavity.

 The Miniature Artists of America - Mission & History
Miniature Artists of America, the first national society to honor outstanding practitioners of American miniature art, was founded in Clearwater, Florida, in 1985.
Miniature art is often described as "fine original art done in small scale." A commonly accepted American guideline among many of today's miniaturists is that subjects do not exceed one sixth their natural size.
The exhibit was displayed during the 3rd Exhibition of Fine Art in Miniature of the World Federation of Miniaturists in the International Gallery of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC in June of 2004.

 Sensors Magazine Online - September 2001 - A Self-Calibrating Miniature Hall Effect Solution to Gear Tooth Speed Sensing   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
The Hall effect produces a signal proportional to the intensity of the normal magnetic flux density.
Because Hall effect ICs detect the strength of a magnetic field, sensing is accomplished by changing the magnetic field passing through the IC.
Since each of the two Hall elements on the IC sees approximately the same back-biased field, the differential baseline field is close to 0 G. As the target moves by the sensor, the resultant signal is still relatively small, as it was in the single-element configuration.

 Method for mass producing miniature field effect transistors in high density LSI/VLSI chips - Patent 4354307
In performing this step, the radius of curvature of the perimeter of the source and drain regions 61, 62, and 63 and the depth of those regions beneath surface 16 is formed to be approximately 0.2-0.3 micrometers.
Minimizing this radius of curvature has the beneficial effect of decreasing the length of the circular shaped depletion regions that were previously indicated in FIG.
They are mentioned herein only to emphasize the point that by reducing the radius of curvature r.sub.j of the source and drain perimeter, the length of the depletion regions are minimized where it is needed most--namely in the channel region.

We produce window inserts to fit most of the Houseworks range, that can also be trimmed to fit a number of other makes, as well as our original inserts that are produced 'in scale' but for the home constructor who wishes to produce something different.
Easy to fit, either to a new project or an existing house, the inserts can be cut to size with scissors and fitted in a number of ways, such as sandwiching between two pieces of window acetate or fixing to existing windows by the use of spray adhesive.
We are also able to produce stained glass effect panels, in the same styles and designs of most of the range, to fit your windows, by special order.
