Patent EP-0091823-B1 (EP)
IPC: G01T1/164
Filed: 1983-04-12
Granted: 1988-11-30
Abstract: An improved method and apparatus for energy window selection in a radiation signal processing system comprises flooding the camera with a substantially uniform radiation; determining the apparent spatial position and energy level of detected radiation events; determining corrected spatial positions of the detected radiation events; determining the energy level distribution of the detected radiation events in each of a plurality of uniform corrected spatial elements; and determining an energy level acceptance window in each distribution such that the number of events accepted in each element is substantially the same. A preferred embodiment includes obtaining energy level histograms corresponding to corrected spatial elements and determining a standard count of radiation events to be accepted by each corrected spatial element in response to a flood image. The energy window of each corrected spatial element is then adapted to cause each to accept the standard count of radiation events in response to the flood image whereby greater uniformity of image may be accomplished in the imaging process. The window values are stored as a function of apparent position.

Abstract: The transfer sheet is used for dry thermal printing of water swellable celluluse fibers with dyestuffs which are insoluble in water of 60 DEG  C. The dyestuffs are difficult to evaporate and cannot be used in a conventional heat transfer printing process. They are transferred at 230 DEG  C. and a contact pressure of 104-106 Pa from a base paper provided with a release coating, to cellulose fibers which have been swollen with water and the swollen state of which has been preserved after drying with a polyglycol. I order to increase the penetration of dyestuffs into the textile structure, it is recommended to lower the air pressure in the transfer area down to a pressure ranging from 1 to 5x104 Pa.

Abstract: A sprue part is cut and removed from the injection mold part during the manufacture of information storage disks by an injection molding process. The highly sensitive molding of an information storage disk is protected from damage by the sprue and the deposition of dust particles during stripping by this process. The sprue is punched into a part serving as the die of the injection molding tool and subsequently removed, in particular by suction, through an orifice leading from inside the part, together with the dust particles generated in the punching process. Preferably, the sprue is punched out and removed with the injection molding tool closed. The injection molding tool must be opened only after the sprue and the dust have already been removed, thus ensuring that the molded product has an especially good quality.
