OSCARS

An artist of impeccable grace and beauty, a dedicated actress whose motion picture career has always stood for perfection, discipline and elegance.

In appreciation for outstanding service and dedication in upholding the high standards of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences.

For the Auto Panatar anamorphic photographic lens that substantially reduces photographic lateral distortion and improves close-up quality.

For the design and development of the first sprocket-driven film transport system for color print processors which permits transport speed in excess of 600 feet per minute.

For the concept and development of the Digital Motion Picture Retouching System for removing visible rigging and dirt from original motion picture imagery.

For the design, development and manufacture of the Moviecam Compact Modular 35mm motion picture camera system, which features quiet operation, light weight and versatility.

For the concept (Mills) and the design (Stadler/Parada) of the Cinemills Lamp Protection System, which provides a process that prevents the early failure of 20-kilowatt lamps by maintaining essentially uniform current flow to the lamp filament as it heats and changes resistance.

For the design and development of the Unilux H3000 Strobe Lighting System, a high-speed system that generates a high-intensity light pulse with a duration of only one-100,000th of a second, the effect of which is to freeze an object moving at a high rate of speed so it can be photographed with extraordinary sharpness.

For the development of a Silver Recovery Ion Exchange System to eliminate hazardous silver ion waste in development wash water and allow recycling of the water.

For the design and development of Ronford-Baker Metal Tripods for motion picture photography, which have proven to be more rigid, durable and trouble-free than the wooden tripods previously used.

For the design and development of the compound meter known as the Dorrough Audio Level Meter, which provides a single scale presentation of peak levels and energy content with a high correlation between the complex signals present and the acoustic output.
