Inventor: KOERNER EDGAR
IPC: G06T7/00

Abstract: An artificial visual apparatus and method for image recognition having a simple adaptive scaling mechanism enables the definition of scale invariant visual icons in a processing area corresponding to the anterior inferotemporal cortex (AIT) in a one-step, value-based decision making process. Icon related activity states resulting from sensory filtering to a fourth stage KL filter (50) corresponding to the V4 area are recognized independent of the scale and position of the item to be recognized within the maximum visual field. The AIT processing area controls the window of attention in the V4 area and confines further processing onto this selected spotlight. The invention presents a biologically plausible method for scale invariant mapping from the V4 stage filter to the AIT processor. Filtering based on principal component analysis (PCA), or Karhunen-Loeve (KL) filtering, yields image data of the item of interest in the V4 stage filter, such data then being supplied to the AIT processor (70) by a scale-invariant mapping process which controls the number of inputs to the KL filters to achieve constant resolution independent of the scale of the item of interest in the maximum visual field. Thus, the problem of scale-invariant mapping is reduced to a simple adaptive thresholding by feedforward inhibition at the AIT processor.

Abstract: A scan speed procedure determines a minimum radiation exposure period on an object by object basis for a transmission study. A transmission prescan for a predetermined duration is followed by a second transmission scan phase. A resultant count density (Cm) for the object is then generated and examined. The portion having the smallest count density is determined, and a value representing the minimum required number of counts for transmission study is given. From the above, a transmission period is determined and the second transmission scan phase is performed using a multi-pass scan phase. The transmission period represents the minimum exposure duration to collect transmission data to ensure that the count density distribution for the object will contain at least Cm count density over each portion of the object.

Abstract: The present application relates to IE and LE structured liquids and their vapour phases and to SE structured solids and the use thereof to enhance chemical, biochemical and biological reactions. It is well known that water molecules form stable rigid structures. The most common of these, ice I occurs naturally, at 4 degrees centigrade at a pressure of 1 atmosphere. Under artificial conditions, ice VI can be formed at room temperature by subjecting the water to a very high hydrostatic pressure (⊃ 7 kilobars). Such high pressure can also exist on a microscopic level between an ion and its nearby water molecules due to electrostatic attraction between the charge of an ion and the electric dipole moments of a water molecule. Stable rigid structures of water molecules similar to ice VI can be grown in water at room temperature and normal pressure. The stable rigid structures so formed can be filtered, concentrated and photographed using a transmission-electron-microscope. It has been discovered that these stable rigid structures create catalytic reactions in various chemical, biological and structured solids reactions. For example the growth rate of E. Coli and B. Subtilis is significantly enhanced by the presence of small amounts of these rigid structures in an aqueous growth culture. This discovery has significant applications for speeding up reaction rates in various industrial chemical and fermentation processes.

Abstract: An insulating unit (20) having low thermal conducting
marginal edge portions includes a pair of glass sheets (24,26)
maintained in a fixed spaced relationship by an edge assembly.
The edge assembly includes a spacer frame (22) having a moisture
impervious adhesive sealant (46) on outer surface (48) of each of the
outer legs (30,32) and base (34) interconnecting the outer legs. The spacer
frame is made by joining sections of spacer stock or bending a
continuous section of spacer stock. The spacer stock has a
pair of outer legs (30,32) joined by the base (34) to provide the spacer
stock with a generally U-shaped cross section. The outer legs
are formed e.g. each leg has a pair of members (36,42) having a hairpin
cross section to reduce the degree of torsional twist of the
spacer stock and/or spacer frame with the legs preferably only
connected by the base having only one thermal conducting path
e.g. through the base from one leg to the other leg. In
practice, the spacer frame is used to fabricate the unit by
securing a glass sheet (24,26) to each of the outer legs with the
moisture impervious adhesive sealant (46).

Abstract: A chip component such as chip resistor, which is capable of being mounted obversely or reversely to a substrate or the like. Since the color of the armor (glass film (6) and resin film (7)) is adjusted so as to be green identical with that of a ceramics chip (1), the lightness distribution of the component front face is similar with that of the component back face. Therefore, there is no case that chip component mounted obversely and chip component mounted reversely are identified as different components in a testing step of detecting a positional deviation or unloaded component by a color or monochromatic image processing (digital image processing), even if the component is mounted reversely to a substrate or the like. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In a filter manufacturing method, during a time period

time when fibers in the slurry (1) accumulate on the outer
peripheral surface of the protector (11) to a prescribed
thickness, the protector (11) and its leg portions (12b) are held
spaced away from each other. The leg portions (12b) are moved
toward the protector (11) so that the leg portions are disposed
at a position spaced by a uniform distance from the outer
peripheral surface of the protector (11) and the suction
operation is continued. Thus, the slurry 1 containing the fibers
therein can be easily caused to flow deeply into recess portions
of a fin-like portion (11b) with no fiber being caught between
the protector (11) and the leg portions (12b), thus reducing
non-walled portions.
