Abstract: A process for the production of furfural from lignosulphonate waste liquor which contains pentose is described, the process essentially comprising the maintenance of a boiling condition of the liquor at predetermined pressures for a sufficient time to convert the pentose to furfural and for the furfural produced to be removed without reacting with pentose, lignosulphonate or itself. Hot air or some other gas under pressure or hot mercury may be used to maintain the boiling of the liquor to ensure that the furfural produced transfers from the liquid to the gas phase and is transported from the reactor in the gas stream. Apparatus for carrying out the process includes a columnar reactor (4) with means (8) to control the pressure, an inlet for preheated liquor, an inlet for hot air under pressure at a low level, an outlet for spent liquor and an outlet for the gaseous phase, from which the furfural is recovered.

Abstract: A method of video motion estimation is described for determining the dominant motion in a video image. The dominant motion is defined by a parametric transform, for example a similarity transform. In the preferred embodiment, selected pairs of blocks in one frame are traced by a block matching algorithm into a subsequent frame, and their change in position determined. From that information, an individual parameter estimate is determined. The process is repeated for many pairs of blocks, to create a large number of parameter estimates. These estimates are then sorted into an ordered list, the list is preferably differentiated, and the best global value for the parameter is determined from the differentiated list. One approach is to take the minimum value of the differentiated list, selected from the longest run of values which fall below a threshold value. Alternatively, the ordered list may be examined for flat areas, without explicit differentiation. The technique is particularly suited to low complexity, low bit rate multimedia applications, where reasonable fidelity is required without the computational overhead of full motion compensation.

Abstract: In a machine for counting bars, for example metal bars, that are to be sent on to a packaging station which packages a pre-set number of them in bundles, the problem of precise counting of the bars is solved by using, for the conveyance of the bars to the counting station, a screw conveyor, in which each groove of the screw has a wall having a pitch increasing more rapidly as compared to the normal pitch of the screw, thus making it possible, in the case where more than one bar is present in the same groove, to render the lying plane of the bars not parallel to the specific axis of the counting means. This is obtained by providing one of the faces of the grooves either with a special step having a continuously increasing width, or with a continuously increasing inclination.

Granted: 2005-06-29
Abstract: Optical storage media with limited useful life include a substrate having a data storage portion containing readable data. A reservoir associated with the substrate releasably retains a preselected chemical agent that interacts with the data storage portion to render it unreadable a preselected period of time after the chemical agent is released. Alternatively, the invention includes an optical storage medium including a substrate supporting a metallic data storage layer for storing optically readable data, a reservoir located in proximity to the data storage layer for storing a chemical agent in contact with the data storage layer on a first side of the reservoir, and a flexible metallic lamina in contact with the chemical agent on an opposite side of the reservoir. A nonconductive member is located intermediate the data storage layer and the lamina for holding apart the data storage layer and the lamina, and has at least a portion through which the lamina can be deformed and come into contact with the data storage layer to complete a voltaic circuit from the data storage layer through the chemical agent to the lamina. Opening the storage container releases the chemical agent or completes the voltaic circuit, and starts the interaction with the optical storage medium, which will become unreadable after a preselected period of time.
