With more than 5,700 engieers, military personnel, technical managers, and scientists, the unclassified SPIE Defense & Security Symposium offers a unique opportunity to interface with potential customers and reveal your company’s latest developments in detectors, sensors, cameras, imaging equipment, and more. Technologies - Commercial and defense security applications of infrared - Lasers and sensor technologies and systems - Displays, guidance, and navigation - Modeling, simulation, and visualization - Signal and image processing - Sensor testing and calibration instrumentation - Data mining technology - C3I, airborne reconnaissance, space and systems operations - Navigation for tactical applications - Biometrics and aviation security - Forensic technologies.
SPIE provides a vehicle for technical exchange by organizing conferences and publishing the results for distribution to the international technical community. The Society encourages and solicits the presentation of new, original, and previously unpublished work that is not commercial in nature.

The exceptional one and anything else , this tourbillon could not obviously be only one tourbillon. Bright proof that there remain still territories to be explored in the very high clock industry, this one thus joins together two technical prowesses. The first hides in the form even module: inclined with 30 degrees - from where its name Tourbillon Emotion 30° - which only the best clock and watch makers are capable to carry out.
Why 30 degrees? To allow the beam to permanently oscillate in all the plans (the compensation of the differences in walk due to the terrestrial attraction being limited more to the only vertical plane) and to offer to the watch a perfect precision. Second prowess: in addition to the posting of the hours/minutes and small second, by means of three counters, one in vain looks at, scans, passes the dial to the fine comb, one sees only the tourbillon.
Quite simply because the wheels are invisible, or rather because they were offset under the bridge masking all the right part of the dial! Harry Winston and Greubel Forsey thus succeeded in integrating this fantastic module into the Opus spirit, creating a watch virtuoso: the bridge is screwed on the bottom of the box, releasing the swirl of its traditional cage and offering to the sight a mechanism suspended of an absolute purity bus freed from the wheels which usually tend to the vampiriser.

Originally created by Gina Brooke, Shu Uemura Artistic Director, exclusively for Madonna - These custom mink false eyelashes are adorned with 0.75 carats total weight of hand-faceted diamonds featuring featuring a unique new diamond cut - the “Star Shimmer Cut”. The Japanese make-up man Shu Uemura created false lashes of exception for more glamour of the Madonna. Indeed, on his new album “Confession One A Dance Floor”, Madonna raises a make-up disco music of the more etincelants. What moreover adapted to this style than of diamonds? Here is how the idea came to Mr Shu Uemura to create false mink lashes decorated with these invaluable stones. A concept which is appropriate very well for this star who forever be cold with the eyes. And for all those which could not spend ten thousand dollars for a pair of false lashes, a version strass is currently available in order to dazzle the time of one evening. A single pair of the $10,000 Shu Uemura false eyelashes will be exclusively available at seven Neiman Marcus stores.
