Patent EP-1098511-A2 (EP)
Inventor: BALASUBRAMANIAN RAJA
IPC: G06T1/00
Filed: 2000-11-03
Abstract: A color printing process, printing a color image in which out-of-gamut
original colors are present. For each pixel defined by an original
color which is determined to be out of gamut, a gamut remapping process
is applied to map each pixel to a color which is within a printer gamut,
remapping said pixels to colors within an output printer gamut. For a given
set of gamut remapped pixels, gamut remapped pixel colors are compared
with said original pixel colors, to derive a comparison metric. Using the
comparison metric, a corrected set of gamut remapped colors is
generated. The comparison metric may be subjected to an adaptive
filtering process, which strengthens the comparison metric in high
frequency image regions to increase its impact on the gamut remapped
colors, and weakens the comparison metric in low frequency areas, to
weaken its impact on the gamut remapped colors. The filter is selected by
determining a filter selection metric in accordance with measured local
image activity and changing filter parameters as a function of the
determined filter selection metric.

Abstract: The receiver has a quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) modulator for converting an elementary data stream, containing several broadcast signals, into a QAM signal in an intermediate frequency (IF) channel. An output converter converts the frequency of the QAM signal to a higher frequency range. The QAM modulator (4) is operated in a special mode in which it provides at its output a derived carrier signal with a defined frequency. This frequency corresponds to the picture carrier frequency of an analog satellite television signal, transmitted in the same IF channel. An Independent claim is included for device for measuring the level of a received digitally coded satellite broadcast signal.

Abstract: The pumping assembly of Figure 1, which is used for a drink temperature
management system comprises an electric motor 2 including a vertical
drive shaft 3, three centrifugal fluid pumps 5, 6, 7 and a vaned agitator
8. The electric motor 2 is located above a chilled water reservoir 4. The
drive shaft 3 extends downwardly in a direction away from the motor
through the top of the reservoir 4 and into chilled water 10 contained by
the reservoir 4. The vaned agitator 8 is disposed at the lowermost distal
end of the drive shaft 3. The three fluid pumps 5, 6, 7 are directly
coupled to the drive shaft 3 and are disposed vertically above the agitator
8. The pumps 5, 6, 7 are submerged with the chilled water 10. 
     The pumps 5, 6, 7 each comprises an impeller 12 contained within a disc
shaped hollow pump casing 14. Each pump casing 14 is formed with a
fluid input port 16 and a fluid output nozzle 18 extending axially from the
drive shaft 3. The pump 5 is held separated from pump 6 by a set of
rods 9 and pump 6 is held separated from pump 7 by a set of rods 9'.
Connected to the respective output nozzles 18 are cooling tubes 20, 21,
22. The respective cooling tubes 20, 21, 22 are fed to three separate
drink python bundles.

in turn rotates the three impellers 12 and the agitator 8. Each
impeller 12 draws chilled water 10 from the reservoir 4 through the input
ports 16. The chilled water exits the respective pumps 14 through the
output nozzles 18. The chilled water is circulated through the drinks 
pythons via the cooling tubes 20, 21, 22 and then returned to the

Abstract: In order to propose a signal input and output
apparatus, like e.g., a camcorder
for changing over control depending on a detection
result by discriminating the type of signals when signals of two
or more types are passed in the same signal line, a signal input
and output apparatus comprises signal discrimination changeover
means for discriminating the type of control signal through
cable, plug and jack, as a transmission path generating a
discrimination signal, supplying it to a controller, and
changing over the control of a signal processor to the
controller on the basis of the discrimination signal, and
thereby input and output of plural control signals can be
processed through a single transmission path. As a result, by a
single jack only, plural signals can be passed on the same
transmission path by optimizing the transmission and reception
paths and transmission and reception elements, and therefore the
parts mounting area can be saved, and states of various types of
signals can be detected.

Abstract: Thermally formed thermoplastic articles can be protected from stress cracking in the presence of stress cracking promoting compounds by forming a shaped article comprising a thermoplastic and a liquid hydrocarbon oil composition. We have found that the liquid hydrocarbon oil composition prevents the stress cracking promoting materials from interacting with the polymeric structure of the stressed container to prevent or inhibit stress cracking in such materials. The methods and compositions of the invention are particularly useful in preventing stress cracking in polyethylene terephthalate beverage containers during bottling operations during which the bottle is contacted with aqueous and non-aqueous materials such as cleaners and lubricants that can interact with the polyester to cause stress cracking particularly in the container base. A process for lubricating a container, such as a beverage container, or a conveyor for containers, by applying to the container or conveyor, a thin continuous, substantially non-dripping layer of a liquid lubricant. The process provides many advantages compared to the use of a conventional dilute aqueous lubricant.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé destiné à déterminer l'amplitude et l'angle de phase d'un signal de mesure correspondant au courant ou à la tension d'un réseau électrique de distribution d'énergie par l'intermédiaire de valeurs de balayage du signal de mesure. L'amplitude et la phase du signal de mesure sont calculés à l'aide de la méthode récurrente des moindres carrés appliquée à un modèle du signal de mesure contenant au moins une partie sinusoïdale, et faisant intervenir les valeurs de balayage. Pour déterminer la fréquence en même temps que l'amplitude et l'angle de phase, on utilise un modèle du signal selon la relation y = a . sin(2 pi ft + <), et on applique la méthode récurrente non-linéaire des moindres carrés avec ce modèle et les valeurs de balayage (y>m<) afin de déterminer la fréquence du signal de mesure (u>m<). En étendant le modèle du signal, on peut étudier des signaux de mesure avec une composante continue et des fréquences variables.

Abstract: In the field of tractor/implement control, there is
a need for accurate, real-time data on the true draught
force generated by engagement of an implement (60) with
the ground. 
     A method of controlling a tractor/implement
combination (10) includes obtaining and storing
calibration data on the torque generated at the tractor
flywheel, while the implement (60) is disengaged from the
ground. Such data includes the rolling resistance and
frictional/parasitic losses between the flywheel and
driven wheel axle of the tractor. 
     During subsequent operation of the tractor/implement
combination, the calibration data are subtracted from
instantaneous torque data to generate a signal indicative
of the implement draught force. 
     The draught force signal may be factored to take
account of the tractor powertrain ratio and the rolling
radius of the tractor tyres. 
     The method allows generation of accurate draught
force data, regardless of the nature and mounting
location of the implement (60).
