Title: Low temperature air separation process for producing pressurized gaseous product
Inventor: BRUGEROLLE JEAN-RENAUD
IPC: F25J3/04
Filed: 2005-07-12
Abstract: A compressed air stream (1) is cooled in an exchanger (65) to form a compressed cooled air stream (5). The stream is then cryogenically compressed in a first compressor (50) to form a first pressurized gas stream. The first pressurized gas stream is further cooled in the exchanger, cryogenically compressed in a second compressor, and then it is cooled and partially liquefied. The cooled and partially liquefied product (56) is then fed to a system of distillation columns (80, 81). A liquid product is removed (20) from the system of distillation columns (80, 81). This product is then pressurized (21), vaporized and warmed in the exchanger (65) to yield pressurized gaseous product (22). The system of distillation columns is fed with a liquid feed stream derived from air.

Title: Method and apparatus for machine-vision
Inventor: BOCA REMUS
IPC: G06V10/24
Filed: 2005-07-14
Abstract: A system and method facilitate machine-vision, for example three-dimensional pose estimation for target objects, using one or more images sensors to acquire images of the target object at one or more positions, and to identify features of the target object in the resulting images. A set of equations is set up using sparse model information such as the constancy of distances, angles and enclosed volumes between features. The set of equations may be solved to estimate a 3D pose. The number of positions may be determined based on the number of image sensors, number of features identified, and/or number of known physical relationships between less than all features. A knowledge of physical relationships between various image sensors and/or between features and image sensors may be employed. The pose may be used to transform a robot path, to align the path with a current position of the target object.

Title: Acid hydrolysis process of cellulosic and lignocellulosic materials, digestion vessel and hydrolysis reactor
Inventor: PELLEGRINI FRANCISCO INACIO
IPC: C08H8/00
Filed: 2006-02-09
Abstract: The present invention relates to an enhanced process for sugar production through the acid hydrolysis of cellulosic and lignocellulosic materials characterized by the treatment of these materials in three steps. In the first step, it is made a digestion of the lignocellulosic material using a solvent capable of partially dissolving the lignin, which constitutes part of the lignocellulosic material. In the second step, the cellulosic material resulting from the treatment with the solvent is subjected to an acid treatment in such conditions that mainly hemicellulose is hydrolyzed to form a sugar solution rich with pentose monomers and oligomers. In the third step, the cellulosic material from the second step is subjected to an acid treatment in such conditions that the major part of the cellulose is hydrolyzed to form a sugar solution rich with hexose monomers and oligomers. This invention also relates to a Digestion Vessel and a Reactor, with this set being constituted by a single vessel or a set of vessels where it's possible to identify three areas where the three process steps are conducted.

Title: System and method for computer aided polyp detection
Inventor: HONG WEI
IPC: G06T15/08
Filed: 2006-06-21
Abstract: In the present methods, the automatic detection of polyps is converted into a 2D pattern recognition problem using conformal mapping and direct volume rendering. The colon surface is first segmented and extracted from the CT data set of the abdomen, which is then mapped to a 2D plane using conformal mapping. Ray casting is used to determine sub-surface density values and the flattened image is rendered using a volume rendering technique with a translucent electronic biopsy transfer function. Polyp candidates are detected by a clustering method which identifies regions of elevated sub-surface density. The potential for false positives is reduced by analyzing the volumetric shape and texture features of the polyp candidate regions.
