Inventor: EBRAHIMI TOURADJ
IPC: G08B13/196

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système de surveillance vidéo permettant de traiter le problème des droits à la vie privée et brouillant des régions étudiées dans une scène de vidéo, afin de protéger le caractère privé de visages humains et d'objets capturés par le système. Le système de surveillance vidéo est conçu de manière à identifier des personnes et/ou des objets capturés dans une région étudiée d'une scène de vidéo, au moyen de diverses techniques, telles que la détection de changements dans une scène ou la détection de visages. Dans un mode de réalisation, des régions étudiées sont automatiquement brouillées, par exemple, au moyen d'une clé de chiffrement privée, alors que le reste de la scène de vidéo est laissée intacte et est, par conséquent, reconnaissable. Le brouillage de telles régions étudiées présente des avantages importants par rapport aux techniques de brouillage par codes connues. L'ensemble des scènes vidéo est ensuite comprimé au moyen d'une ou de plusieurs normes de compression, telles que JPEG 2000. Dans un mode de réalisation, le degré de brouillage peut être commandé.

Abstract: A cast iron material, particularly a ledeburitic cast iron material with a carbide content of at least 15 wt. % and a characteristic free, evenly distributed graphite formation is disclosed. In this case, the evenly distributed graphite formation may comprise graphite flakes and/or vermicular graphite and/or nodular graphite. Depending on the respective application (diameter (D) of the running gear seal, peripheral speed), the basic matrix may be realized in pearlitic and/or bainitic and/or martensitic form. Due to the high graphite content, the material has a thermal conductivity that is three to four times greater than that of white cast iron materials, wherein this provides the advantage that no scoring of the running gear seals occurs at high peripheral speeds (>5 m/s) and large diametrical dimensions of the seals (D >600 mm). In addition, the high carbide content of at least 15 wt. % provides an adequate wear resistance, and other alloying elements such as chromium, vanadium, molybdenum and nickel provide the material with a corresponding corrosion resistance. The aforementioned ledeburitic cast iron material with evenly distributed graphite formation can be used, for example, for the manufacture of axial face seals and cylinder liners.
