Abstract: An LED indicator system with at least one LED, and driving circuitry for driving the at least one LED. A power supply supplies a drive current to the at least one LED. A photodetector detects a luminous output of the at least one LED and correspondingly outputs a detection signal. A conditioning circuit removes signal components indicative of stray light from at least one source other than the at least one LED, for example from sunlight reflected off of an LED array including the at least one LED, from the detection signal. As a result, the conditioning circuit generates a synthesized intensity feedback signal to provide to the power supply. The LED indicator system and driving circuitry for the at least one LED may further include a controller which compares the current supplied by the power supply to the at least one LED with the synthesized intensity feedback signal. A transmitter may transmit a signal indicating a result of the comparison executed by the controller. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Process for dividing a plastic film in composite glass (31) comprises placing a blade (2) next to the gap (35) on the glass so that the blade can move longitudinally across the gap between both parts of the glass, and moving the blade into the gap and along the gap. An Independent claim is also included for a device for dividing a plastic film in composite glass comprising a drive (8) for tilting the holder (1) with the blade about an axis (20). Preferred Features: The position of the blade on the glass is determined so that the thickness of the glass can be determined from this position and thus the depth of penetration of the blade into the gap required. The depth of penetration of the blade is monitored in the gap between the parts of the glass.

Abstract: In order to pictorially depict three-dimensional objects, an object to be depicted (28) is photographed using at least one camera (24) from a number of camera directions of said camera(s) (24) in relation to the object (28) to be depicted. Two-dimensional image data of each camera direction is saved, together with the corresponding co-ordinates of the camera(s) (24) in relation to the object (28) to be depicted. The saved image data is reproduced from the perspective view to create a three-dimensional impression, by merging the two-dimensional image data whilst taking into account the corresponding co-ordinates. In order to fill in the image background behind the object to be depicted, a background surface is provided which has a substantially constant colour spectrum in the colour space. Said colour location is preferably luminescent (electroluminescent film).

Abstract: At the separation of different minerals from the ores by means of flotation, it belongs to known art to monitor a larger part of the uppermost froth layer in the flotation cell by means of a video camera whose signals are analyzed in a digital computer, in order to detect the structure and color of the froth. The new method and apparatus direct and limit the monitoring and analysis to the surface of the floated material within a fixed, narrow strip which is parallel to the overflow edge of the cell and within which the material surface passing it is homogeneous in the stationary state. The said strip thus presents a renewing sample of the surface at the location in question, which sample represents the stationary state in the average sense. The strip is subjected to homogeneous illumination, which may meet the strip at different angles depending on the primary object, i.e. whether the color or structure is being determined. By means of a repeatedly reading semiconductor line array camera, the image of the strip is formed and converted to electric black/white or multicolor signals from which the structure or color quantities are determined in digital computer. The monitoring and analysis can be directed to both the surface of the froth layer and the surface of the froth slurry flowing down from the overflow edge.
