13 Special Events Open to All Attendees Exhibition visitors, exhibitors, and technical conference attendees Plenary Sessions Tuesday 15 October 11:00 am to 12:00 pm Disruptive innovation: the story of the first digital camera Steven Sasson, Retired, Eastman Kodak Co. (USA) The creation of the first digital camera prototype in 1975 at the Eastman Kodak Company will be discussed as well as how the concept was demonstrated within Kodak during the following year. Subsequent technical innovations with megapixel imagers, image compression products in the mid 1980 s, and the early commercialization of professional and consumer digital still cameras in the early 1990 s will be discussed. The internal Kodak reaction to these developments will be highlighted as well as some of the learned observations about how to deal with disruptive innovation within an established corporate environment will be shared. Steven Sasson attended Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) in Troy N.Y. and in 1973; he graduated with a BS and a Masters degree in electrical engineering. After graduation Steven joined Eastman Kodak Company as an electrical engineer working in an applied research laboratory. He engaged in a number of early digital imaging projects. Among these was the design and construction of the first digital still camera and playback system in Steven continued to work throughout the 1980s in the emerging field of digital photography receiving over 10 key digital imaging patents. In 1989 he led the development of the first prototype mega pixel electronic digital camera utilizing DCT compression that stored images to flash memory cards. Steven continued his work throughout the 1990 s by developing one of the first photographic quality thermal printing systems, derivatives of which are still in use in self-service imaging kiosks around the world today. Before retiring in 2009 Steven was a project manager in the Intellectual Property Transactions group at Kodak. Wednesday 16 October 1:10 to 2:00 pm NASA funding for optical fabrication and testing technology development H. Philip Stahl, NASA Marshall Space Flight Center (USA) Technologies to fabricate and test optical components are required for NASA to accomplish its highest priority science missions. For example, the NRC ASTRO2010 Decadal Survey states that an advanced large-aperture UVOIR telescope is required to enable the next generation of compelling astrophysics and exo-planet science; and that present technology is not mature enough to affordably build and launch any potential UVOIR mission concept. The NRC 2012 NASA Space Technology Roadmaps and Priorities report states that the highest priority technology in which NASA should invest to Expand our understanding of Earth and the universe is a new generation of astronomical telescopes. And, each of the Astrophysics division Program Office Annual Technology Reports (PATR), identifies specific technology needs. NASA has a variety of programs to fund enabling technology development: SBIR (Small Business Innovative Research); the ROSES APRA and SAT programs (Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Science; Astrophysics Research and Analysis program; Strategic Astrophysics Technology program); and several Office of the Chief Technologist (OCT) technology development programs. Dr. H. Philip Stahl is a Senior Optical Physicist at NASA MSFC currently leading an effort to mature technologies for a new large aperture telescope to replace Hubble. Previous assignments include Astrophysics Division Deputy Assistant Director for Technology and Mirror Technology lead for the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). Dr. Stahl co-authored two NASA technology studies: Office of Chief Technologist Science Instruments, Observatories and Sensor Systems Technology Assessment (2011); and Advance Planning and Integration Office Advanced Telescope and Observatory Capability Roadmap (2005). Dr. Stahl is a leading authority in optical metrology, optical engineering, and phasemeasuring interferometry. Many of the world s largest telescopes have been fabricated with the aid of high-speed and infrared phase-measuring interferometers developed by him, including the Keck, VLT and Gemini telescopes. At Raytheon Danbury he was lead optical engineer for the 4 meter LAMP mirror and the Spitzer secondary mirror. Dr. Stahl is a member of OSA and SPIE (Fellow) and 2013 SPIE President-Elect. He is a past ICO Vice President. He earned his PhD in Optical Science at the University of Arizona Optical Sciences Center in Networking Reception and Poster Viewing Wednesday 4:30 to 6:00 pm All attendees are invited to relax, socialize, and enjoy refreshments. Conference posters will be on display. Poster authors will be present for discussion about their research.
