Patent EP-1419426-A1 (EP)
Inventor: MASSENGALE ROGER
IPC: G05D16/06
Filed: 2002-08-14
Abstract: A variable device for regulating the outlet pressure of a fluid from a valve body, includes a pressure-sensing chamber having a wall formed by a resilient self-restoring diaphragm which is responsive to pressure in the chamber. A valve element connected to the diaphragm controls flow into the chamber. Increased pressure in the chamber decreases the flow into the chamber and decreasing pressure increases flow whereby fluid flow out from the chamber is maintained at a desired pressure. The outlet pressure is adjusted by deflecting the diaphragm in a direction to open the valve while permitting a section of the diaphragm connected to the valve member to remain responsive to the pressure in the chamber. An adjustment cover is provided to adjustably deflect the diaphragm and includes a catch mechanism to allow adjustment of the fluid outlet pressures and also retain the device at a desired value. An indicator arrangement may be provided to visually indicate the fluid outlet pressure.

Abstract: An image data compression unit and a decompression unit
are offered which are capable of sending and receiving image
data with a smaller amount of information. Also, programs for
compressing and decompressing image data are offered. With
respect to plural single-component image data sets regarding
colors that can be obtained by sampling image data about a given
region, the image data compression unit divides at least one
of the plural single-component image data sets into plural
single-component image data sets, converts the plural
single-component image data sets into a greater number of
single-component image data sets, and then performs
compression. Compressed image data obtained by such
compression is decompressed, producing plural
single-component image data sets. These data sets are combined
into one to convert the data sets greater in number than the
plural single-component image data sets into the plural
single-component image data sets, and then decompression is
performed.
