Patent EP-1039003-A1 (EP)
Inventor: SCHULER BERNHARD
IPC: D04B35/06
Filed: 2000-03-10
Abstract: The compound needle (1), for a knitting machine, has a sliding section (35,15) with the free legs bent apart towards the hook (4) to form an open funnel shape towards the hook (4). The slide sections (35,15) are bent apart at the junction with the funnel shape to give a sprung lie against zones of the flanks of the slide slit (6). The bends are structured so that the laying points are near the start (11) of the slide slit (6) when the slide (12) is moved into the closed position.  The slide sections (35,15) are symmetric to each other, to lie against each other at the end of the funnel shape. Each slide section (35,15) has at least one bending point or only one or only two, where the neighboring part of the slide section (35,15) forms an obtuse angle. The slide (12) can be moved into a knocking-over setting where the legs forming the funnel shape are pushed over the point (5) of the hook (4), and the slide (12) lies at the start (11) of the slide slit (6). The hook point (5) is slightly rounded, and the funnel shape formed by the slide (12) has an opening width which is sufficiently large to match the rounding dia. of the hook point (5). The slide (12) can be moved into a stitch transfer setting where the slide section (35,15) legs move past the sides of the hook (4) to project beyond it. The bent legs are set so that they are parallel to each other beyond the hook (4). The slide section (35,15) zones forming the laying points in the closed setting are outside the slide slit (6) when in the stitch transfer setting.

Abstract: The method involves cooling (7) a sub-volume (5) of the liquid (3) and thus determining the temperature and the change in th aggregate state of the liquid in the sub-volume. The solidification heat released during the change in the aggregate state of th liquid in the sub-volume is determined (8) as a delayed temperature decrease. The related change in electrical conductivity is determined. An Independent claim is also included for an arrangement for implementing the method.
Patent EP-1058229-A1 (EP)
Inventor: WEITBRUCH SEBASTIEN
IPC: G09G3/20
Filed: 2000-04-17
Abstract: With the new plasma display panel technology new kinds of artefacts
can occur in video pictures due to the principle that
brightness control is done with a modulation of small lighting
pulses in a number of periods called sub-fields. These
artefacts are commonly described as 'dynamic false contour
effect'. A technique called bit line repeat coding has been
developed for reducing the false contour effect. According to
this technique sub-field coding is done with common (CSF) and
normal sub-fields (SF) where for the common sub-fields (CSF)
identical entries in the sub-field code words of two or more
corresponding pixels on two or more pixel lines are used. In
this specific sub-field coding method some cases will occur
in which an error has to be made due to the reduced flexibility
in encoding produced by the need to have the same code on
common sub-fields (CSF). The general idea of the invention is
now to put the coding failures on the higher video levels of
the two or more pixels being grouped together. 
     Further improvements concern picture content analysis and or
motion detection for controlling the switching between different
sub-field coding modes and a specific adapted dithering
pattern for use with bit line repeat coding.

IPC: F27D9/00

Abstract: The present invention is an apparatus and process for cooling and de-steaming
hot calcined stucco used in the production of gypsum boards or bagged plaster.
The apparatus is a fluid bed stucco cooler and comprises a cooler housing
having a plenum with two chambers, a first chamber having a stucco inlet and a
second chamber having a stucco outlet. The stucco cooler includes cooling coils
that are located within the plenum and a fluidization pad positioned at the base
of the plenum that introduces air into the cooler. Agitators positioned through the
fluidization pad help to mix the air and the stucco powder to insure fluidization,
prevent channeling, and prevent the stucco powder from building up on the
cooling coils. The air also forces steam from the hot calcined stucco out through
an air outlet located at the top of the stucco cooler, thereby de-steaming the
stucco. The stucco flows through the plenum and passes over the cooling coils,
thereby cooling the stucco as it reaches the stucco outlet.

Abstract: Quantisation of the colours in a digital image within a colour space is achieved by
successively dividing the colour space into a number of compartments in a number of
steps, each compartment containing a subset of the colours of the image. Each step
comprises
     determining the variance in a predetermined number of directions, of the set of
colours in a compartment, the variance being calculated by determining a covariance
matrix which describes the colours of the set of colours in the compartment and
calculating therefrom the values of the variance of the set in the relevant directions, and   dividing said compartment into two new compartments on the basis of the largest
variance found.   
     The method is further refined by subjecting the resulting sets of colours to a
predetermined test and, on the basis of the results of that test, re-combining sets, and
also the compartments corresponding thereto. 
     This quantisation is intended as preparation of the digital image data for an
interpretation processing operation, such as OCR or lay-out analysis.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for removing drill cuttings from an oil and gas
well drilling platform (11) provides for the separation of drill cuttings
from at least a volume of the well drilling fluid (i.e. drilling mud) on the
drilling platform so that the drilling fluids may be recycled into the well
bore. The cuttings are then transferred to a cuttings collection receptacle
(e.g. trough (77)) on the platform. The separated drill cuttings are then
suctioned with a first suction line (37) having an intake portion (38). The
suctioned drill cuttings are transmitted to a processing tank (or multiple
such tanks (26-28)) on the platform, each having a tank interior. A
vacuum is formed within the processing tank interior with a blower (30)
that is in fluid communication with the tank interior via a second vacuum
line (34). The tank (26-29) is connected to a floating work boat (20),
with a discharge flow line (24). Cuttings are processed within the tank,
being chopped or cut into smaller size particles with a pump that is
preferably contained within the processing tank. Cuttings are slurrified
or liquified in the processing tank, then transmitted from the tank to the
work boat via the flow line (24). Multiple holding tanks (26-28) can be
positioned on the drilling platform for storage of cuttings until a work
boat arrives. The work boat can be provided with one or more high
capacity work boat holding tanks (23) (for example 100-1000 barrels) for
receiving cuttings from the multiple holding tanks on the drilling platform
when disposal is desired.
