Title: Method and apparatus for detecting surface features of translucent objects
Inventor: HECK RICHARD D
IPC: G01B11/28
Filed: 1995-09-06
Granted: 1998-11-26
Abstract: The topographic surface features of a translucent object, such as a citrus fruit with a peel, are scanned and evaluated to permit the classification thereof according to its surface features. In the case of citrus fruit, the coarseness or pebbliness, puff and crease, ridge and valley, cuts, punctures, scrapes and splits, clear rot or sour rot of the peel is optically identified through digital analysis of the pixel scans and sorted based upon the peel surface quality. The object is classified by separating the scanned image of the fruit from the background image and removing the background image. A statistical evaluation of the image of the object as a whole, including both hemispheres of the object, is made to determine if there is any surface feature variation which might qualify as a defect or be a suitable basis upon which a classification judgment can be made. If there is, the object image is subject to high frequency or low pass filtering and thresholding of the pixel intensities to derive a refined image. The refined image is then tabulated or organized into neighborhoods contiguous to sharp transitions or gradual transitions to identify specific areas defined as blobs which, when compared against a given minimum area, shape requirement and/or width can be identified as one of the surface imperfections sought.

Title: Adaptive rate control for digital video compression
Inventor: PIAN DONALD T
IPC: H04N7/30
Filed: 1997-10-09
Granted: 2001-07-19
Abstract: A system and method for adaptively controlling the encoded data rate in a data compression system. The system and method sets up alternative encoded bit streams for each segment of data and selects the alternative that would produce the bit rate closest to a predetermined target bit rate for transmission. Each segment of video input is quantized based on a set quantization settings to produce a plurality of quantized segments. Each quantized segment is then variable rate encoded to produce an alternative encoded bit stream. The data rate that would be required to transmit each alternative encoded bit stream is determined and compared with a predetermined target bit rate, which is set according to the transmission rate buffer status. The selected encoded bit stream is provided to the transmission rate buffer in preparation for transmission. Having processed one segment of data, the system and method then updates its parameters for processing the next segment of data. An updated target bit rate is determined based on the rate buffer status at this point. A rate versus quantization index model is derived according to the data rates of the encoded streams and the corresponding quantization indices. A new set of weighting mask functions is then produced in accordance with the model and the quantization indices. The new set of quantization indices is to be used for processing the next segment of data.

Title: Improving maximum density and tonal range of electrographic images
Inventor: KASPER GEORGE PHILIP
IPC: G03G5/14
Filed: 1980-04-16
Granted: 1984-05-17
Abstract: The image quality obtainable by an electrographic copying process in which an electrostatic latent image formed by imagewise exposure of a uniformly charged photoconductive layer, or otherwise, is developed with a toner can be improved if the latent image comprises discrete charge bearing zones, preferably formed by a supplementary exposure through a half-tone screen, and if additionally the toner is electrically conductive either intrinsically or as a result of electrical break-down. In this manner, the maximum density obtainable in a copy can be increased and the contrast decreased sufficiently to allow good reproduction of both continuous tone and high contrast images.

Abstract: Apparatus particularly for agglomerating particles of different products. A rotatable drum, which has a wall which defines a cylinder and a cylinder void, is mounted on a frame in a horizontal or inclined position. The apparatus includes provision for rotating the cylinder in one direction thereby defining ascending and descending halves of the cylinder. A first part of the cylinder receives particles of a product and has means, such as projecting elements, to rotate the particles for forming a vortex of particles about an axis within the ascending half of the cylinder void such that the axis of the vortex is displaced from and substantially parallel to a central longitudinal axis of the cylinder. The apparatus also includes provision for introducing a product into a second part of the cylinder in the ascending half of the cylinder void, the second part being displaced from the first end of the cylinder and abutting the first part of the cylinder, for distributing secondary product into the vortex of particles within a zone about which the vortex rotates. A spraying device is positioned in the second part of the cylinder void in the descending half of the cylinder for spraying an agglomerating agent onto the particles of the vortex from outside of the vortex.

Granted: 1992-12-10
Abstract: A process for the stereoselective synthesis of [R]- and [S]-2,3-dihydro-1,3-dimethyl-2-oxo-1H-indole-3-acetonitriles comprises reacting racemic and 5-alkoxy-substituted (+/-)-1,3-dimethyloxindoles with a halogenated acetonitrile in the presence of a substituted N-benzyl cinchoninium, quinidinium, cinchonidinium, or quininium catalyst.

Title: Monitor for data transmitter and receiver - compares synchronised word bits with test word bits to decide action
IPC: H04L9/00
Filed: 1968-12-17
Abstract: The synchronisation monitor, for data receivers and transmitters, uses the relative frequencies of occurrence of correctly received and wrongly received sync. words to determine the extent to which wrongly received sync. words (ie noise) affect the synchronisation between transmitter and receiver. The data stream consists of data words separated by sync. words. The receiver tests for the presence of sync. words and compares them with those of a test. If more bits are found to be the same than are found to be different, synchronisation is deemed to be correct and no action is taken to re-synchronise transmitter and receiver.
