Abstract: A contrast-based image fusion system and method of processing multiple images to form a processed or fused image including regions selected from one or more images. Images are divided into image regions. Portions of the images are filtered if necessary. A contrast map is generated for each image via a convolution kernel resulting in a contrast map with contrast values for each image region. Contrast values are compared and image regions are selected based on a selection criteria or process such as greater or maximum contrast. The selected image regions form the fused image. If necessary, the luminance of one or more portions of the fused image is adjusted. One sensor is selected as a reference sensor, and an average intensity of each region of the reference sensor image is determined across the reference sensor image. The intensity of one or more regions in the final image is adjusted by combining the determined average luminance values and intensity values of the final image.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un appareil de déchiffrement de données chiffrées fournissant une protection de sécurité améliorée pour des programmes et des données mis en oeuvre dans les processus allant du déchiffrement à l'exécution, après avoir été chiffrés. Quand un programme partiel déchiffré doit être chargé dans la mémoire partagée (M), l'unité de commande (11) le charge dans une zone indiquée par les informations d'emplacement dans la mémoire. Selon ces informations, une pluralité de programmes partiels sont chargés de manière séquentielle dans une zone, de manière qu'un programme partiel soit écrasé par un autre; par conséquent, aucune partie du programme partiel n'existe dans la mémoire pendant une longue durée, et il y a ainsi moins de chance que les programmes partiels soient référés de manière illégitime. De plus, étant donné que chaque fois que quelques données sont déchiffrées, l'unité d'authentification de programme support de déchiffrement (13) confirme l'authenticité du programme support de déchiffrement (P), il est possible d'empêcher des références illégitimes dans lesquelles le programme support de déchiffrement est utilisé de manière abusive.

Abstract: The invention is a process for producing alkaline earth metal salicylates for use as lubricant detergents and to compositions prepared by the process. The process comprises two steps. Step 1 is the alkylation of salicylic acid is conducted using C<SUB>14 </SUB>or greater linear alpha-olefins to produce alkyl salicylic acids in commercially acceptable yields. The alkylation conditions produce predominately mono-substituted para alkyl salicylic acids that are oil soluble. Step 2 is the oil soluble acid is subsequently neutralized and overbased by carbonation of lime using CO<SUB>2 </SUB>in the presence of a promoter and a surfactant. The reaction mixture after overbasing is filtered and solvents are removed by distillation. Alternatively, alkyl salicylic acid can be reacted with a previously overbased alkaline earth sulfonate, e.g., calcium sulfonate, to produce alkaline earth salicylate salts comprising varying percentages of dispersed alkaline earth carbonate salts. In this method, no filtration of the end product is required, and, thus, it is commercially preferred.
