Patent EP-0887543-A2 (EP)
Inventor: LORRAINE JACK R
IPC: F02M61/14
Filed: 1998-06-16
Abstract: A spring clip for retaining together a fuel injector and a fuel rail cup includes first and second parallel spaced side walls and a third side wall resiliently connecting the first and second side walls to form a generally U-shaped body with an open side. The first and second parallel spaced side walls include flanges extending inwardly toward one another from opposed lower edges of the side walls. The flanges are configured to coact with an exterior surface of an associated fuel injector to locate the injector axially relative to the clip. The first and second parallel spaced side walls also include slots arranged to receive a flanged portion of the fuel rail cup such that the clip is located axially relative to the cup, thereby locating said injector axially relative to said cup. An aperture in the third side wall receives both a radially protruding orientation key of the injector and a corresponding orientation key of the fuel rail cup to fix the injector against rotational motion in the cup. Angled upper edges of the side walls and the side wall aperture allow the clip to be radially installed on the injector and to thereafter permit axial connection of the clip with the fuel rail cup when the injector inlet end is inserted into the cup. Alternatively, when the injector is assembled in the fuel rail cup, the clip may be snapped onto the assembly. In either case, the clip fixes the injector against axial and rotational movement relative to the fuel rail cup.

Abstract: To process rubbish and waste, it is sorted into materials for recycling and materials for incineration.  The untreated waste is sorted into fine and coarse materials in a multifunction drum (2). The separated heavy fraction (34) is sorted (34) into unusable (87) and usable (88) fractions.   The fine material (15) from the multifunction drum (2) is transferred to a biological stage (14), where the organic content is converted into a biogas (89) and water is extracted mechanically (55) from the residue (90), which is passed to a drying station (56).  The dried matter (91) is transferred to a mechanical fine material processing station (65) to be sieved (67-72) and winnowed (74-79) for the separation of the remaining usable (92) and inert (93) materials to give a replacement fuel material (92) which has a calorific value, is dry and stable, can be stored and has a low odor. The multifunction drum (2) and winnowing unit (3) are in a single unit.  The multifunction drum (2) is divided into pref. three sections to give a sieved and rich organic fraction of  <= 60 mm and a coarser fraction of 60-150 mm to be winnowed (3) into light (33) and heavy (34) fractions. The sieve section (7) for the larger waste is a winnow (20) or an angled sorting machine (21) for separation into light and heavy fractions.  The light fraction is passed to a biological stage, while the heavy fraction is cleaned (25), ground (29) and passed to the biological stage (14). The light fraction (33) taken from the winnow (3), as film material and the like, is passed to a recycling station (B1,B2).  The heavy fraction (34) from the winnow (3) is sorted manually (4), if required, after cleaning (38). The biological stage (14) gives a biological action and produces a biogas which fuels a gas motor (58) to drive a generator (59).  A water extraction (55) and drying (56) stage follow the biological stage (14), using biological or thermal drying actions. The dried residue (91) is passed to a processing assembly (65) for fine materials, using flat sieves and/or settling tables in succession followed by winnows, to be separated into combustible (92,B4) and noncombustible and inert matter (93,C). An Independent claim is included for a plant to process the waste materials.  A multifunction drum (2) has an initial section (5) without sieve nets to give a mechanical loosening and separation using bars, ripping prongs and the like.  Its following section (6) extracts an organic-rich fine fraction of  <= 60 mm, and its third section separates out a coarser fraction of 60-150 mm. Preferred Features: A winnow unit (3) is directly after the multifunction drum (2) to separate the material into light (33) and heavy (34) fractions. The winnow (3) is a rising pipe system where all the fractions drop without pressure in a free fall, pref. with recirculating air for the light fraction with a settling chamber of perforated plates where the light fraction can drop in a free fall.  The settling chamber is pref. shrouded by a suction hood.

Abstract: A three-dimensional image having a complicated shape
is created from a two-dimensional image obtainable by simple
drawing. When a drawing operation is carried out using a
digitizer (4), density data to be stored in one of a density
layer 0-data memory (10) to a density layer n-data memory (1n)
is created using a brush shape generated in a brush generating
section (5). A distance up to a reference coordinate point with
respect to a primitive shape is initially set in a distance data
memory (8). A distance operating section (20) computes a
modification rate for modifying each point on the primitive shape,
on the basis of two-dimensional density data selected by a
selecting section (9). The selecting section (9) sequentially
reads out multilayered density data, to cause a normal computing
section (21) to compute a normal direction on each point on the
primitive shape or on the modified primitive shape from data
in the vicinity of the point. A rendering section (22) carries
out modification with respect to each point on the primitive
shape or on the modified primitive shape in the normal direction
thereof, and then, a display device (24) displays the modified
shape as an image.

Inventor: COX INGEMAR J
IPC: H04N7/24
Filed: 1999-06-23
Abstract: A watermarking procedure that is applicable to
images, audio, video and multimedia data to be
watermarked divides the data to be watermarked into a set
of n×n blocks, such as the 8×8 blocks of MPEG. The same
watermark signal can be distributed throughout the set of
blocks in a large variety of ways. This allows the
insertion algorithm to be changed without affecting the
decoders. The decoding procedure first sums together the
DCT coefficients of N sets of 8×8 blocks to form a set of
N summed 8×8 blocks and then extracts the watermark from
the summed block. Since the sum of the DCT blocks is
equal to the DCT of the sum of the intensity blocks,
efficient decoding can occur in both the spatial and
frequency domains. The symmetric nature of the decoding
process allows geometric distortions to be handled in the
spatial domain and other signal distortions to be handled
in the frequency domain. Moreover, insertion of a
watermark signal into image data and the subsequent
extraction of the watermark from watermarked image data
which has been subject to distortion between the times of
insertion and extraction involves the insertion of
multiple watermarks designed to survive predefined
distortions of the image data, such as panscan or
letterbox mode transformations. Alternatively, a
registration pattern in the image data, after the image
data containing the registration pattern is subject to an 
unknown distortion, is used to compensate for distortion
of the watermarked image data.
