Patent EP-0845717-A2 (EP)
Inventor: OKUYAMA HIROYUKI
IPC: G06T11/00
Filed: 1997-11-26
Abstract: A sampled image data in the form of a matrix is
compared with each of the template image data provided
in advance for matching (203) and, if they are matched
with each other, the coordinate values of the profile
spots of each black image component of the sampled
image data are determined (204). Then, the existence of
any island-like region containing a set of several
pixels (spots within a photograph region) in the sample
image data is discriminated (207) on the basis of the
number of the profile spots and their correlations.
If one or more than one island-like regions exist, the
image having the island-like regions subjected to a
smoothing operation is not selected but the image data
A from the matrix forming section (201) is selected
(208). Thus, there is provided an image processing
apparatus with which photograph regions are protected
against any unnecessary smoothing operation to
eliminate the risk of damaging the quality of the image.

Abstract: An explosion-proof valve electrical disconnect
assembly incorporates a vent valve contact disk which
seals the can of a compact electrochemical cell and
which faces a juxtaposed stripper contact disk welded
at the center by a weld nugget at a weld point,
forming a rigid, preferably increased thickness, mass.
The underlying stripper contact disk is weakened about
the weld point, surrounding the weld nugget to ensure
pull-through of the stripper contact disk portion
immediately adjacent to the weld connection to effect
initial electrical separation of the two contact
disks. Subsequent rupture of the vent valve contact
disk releases high pressure gas internally from the
cell. A semi-rigid assembly cup may support a rigid
grommet functioning to sandwich the vent valve contact
disk and the stripper contact disk facilitated by
crimping of the can top about a deformable L-shaped
cross-section annular assembly cup. A current
responsive PTC element forms a second circuit breaker
independent of the first mechanical circuit breaker
formed by the two contact disks.

Abstract: In a system and associated method for determining if a channel signal carried by a discrete wavelength channel (34, 36) is properly centered for that wavelength channel a signal generator (42) is provided that superimposes a secondary signal over the original signal in a signal channel. Tone detectors (52, 54) are provided at a point after the superimposition of the secondary signal. The tone detectors (52, 54) detect the superimposed tone signal at wavelengths that are longer and/or shorter than the wavelength assigned to the wavelength channel. By measuring (in 60) the degree of balance between wavelengths longer than the wavelength assigned to the wavelength channel and the wavelengths shorter than the wavelength assigned to the wavelength channel, it can be determined if the original signal is centered for that wavelength channel. If a predetermined degree of balance is not obtained, the original signal for the wavelength channel can be corrected or can be recognized as being non-compliant.

Abstract: Cette courroie (10) pour transporteur est pourvue de nervures (12, 14, 23, 24, 26, 30) servant d'auxiliaires d'entraînement. Le dispositif de l'invention consiste en une courroie (10) dont le corps (18) est constitué d'une face intérieure (16) et d'une face extérieure ainsi que d'un premier jeu de nervures longitudinales (12, 14, 23) disposées sur la face intérieure (16). Ces nervures sont destinées à alléger l'aire de surface de la courroie venant au contact d'un cylindre (32) lors de l'entraînement de la courroie. En conséquence, cette nouvelle courroie adhère moins fortement aux cylindres du transporteur, du fait d'une diminution des forces coplanaires susceptibles, en outre, d'endommager la courroie et/ou le transporteur. La hauteur des nervures par rapport au corps se réduit avec le temps en raison d'une usure normale de frottement. Dans certains modes de réalisation, la courroie possède un second jeu de nervures (24, 26, 30) disposées sur la face extérieure (28) et l'usure normale de frottement réduit également, dans ce cas, la hauteur des nervures par rapport au corps. Les jeux de nervures sont susceptibles de comporter deux nervures (12, 14, 24, 26) courant le long des bords de la courroie. Il peut être nécessaire, dans le cas d'une courroie de plus grande largeur, d'ajouter des nervures supplémentaires (23, 30) venant se placer entre les deux nervures de bordure. On peut employer cette courroie dans des systèmes à cylindres (32) et guides d'entraînement (34). Ces derniers servent à maintenir la courroie dans l'alignement des cylindres.
