Abstract: A method of editing a digital image having associated embedded data, such as printing hints, includes embedding a first watermark in the original image before the image is edited. The first watermarking scheme associates first watermark information with each pixel and is used to detect which pixels have been edited. A second watermark may be embedded in the original image according to a second watermarking scheme which associates second watermark information with non-overlapping groups of pixels in the original image. The second watermark information may be used to synchronize the first watermark information and to detect editing information which does not change pixel values. After editing, only those edited portions of the image need have their embedded data reapplied.

Filed: 2002-01-07
Abstract: The invention provides a method of reducing thermal distortion in grinding machines. Such machines each comprise a machine base (60) and a grinding wheel (50) for grinding components in the machine (10). The method includes the steps of: (a) sensing a first temperature at an upper surface of the base (60) substantially below a position (110) in the machine (10) whereat component grinding using the wheel (50) occurs; (b) sensing a second temperature of an underside surface of the base (60) substantially below the position (110) whereat component grinding occurs; (c) determining a relationship between component size drift and changes in a difference between the first and second temperatures; and thereafter (d) correcting a positional offset applied to the wheel (50) during grinding in accordance with the determined relationship, thereby reducing the component size drift. Preferably, the relationship is substantially a linear function of the form MDS = Kf(.DELTA.T1-.DELTA.T2) although higher-order polynomial correction can be applied if required. The invention also relates to grinding machines (10) employing the method of reducing thermal distortion.

Patent CA-2441635-A1 (CA)
Inventor: STEIN LEE
IPC: B68C1/16
Filed: 2003-09-16
Abstract: A fender shaper system for equestrian use, that can be easily added to a new or used saddle system, shapes the fenders optimally and holds the desired shape permanently, thus eliminating the conventional need to soak the fenders in water and reshape them repeatedly due to their inherent tendency to revert back toward the original flat shape unless kept stored in a special holder. The fender shaper system permanently ensures the correct free-hanging stirrup orientation that makes mounting easier and safer by avoiding any need to reach down and turn the stirrup manually, and also ensures riding comfort free of leg stress and fatigue from having to continuously counteract a tendency of the stirrups to hang at an incorrect orientation. The fender shaper is formed from sheet stainless steel bent into the shape of a right angle bracket with curvature. In a primary embodiment for leather fenders, the fender can be fastened to the fender shaper with a pair of ornamental screw fasteners and a retaining tab. The stirrup strap is retained against the front of the fender shaper by a retaining strap for correct free-hanging stirrup orientation. A secondary embodiment for fenders of the woven fabric type can be attached with self adhesive disengagable fastening material such as Velcro.

Inventor: HASHIBA TOMOHIKO
IPC: B01F33/40
Filed: 2002-08-28
Abstract: A mixer capable of uniformly mixing a plurality of fluid materials without providing a mixing tank or an agitating vane. Different fluid raw materials (11a to 11c) are stored in raw material tanks (10a to 10c), respectively. The raw materials are fed at a predetermined rate by variable restrictors (14a to 14c) so as to be supplied to a fluid supply hole (16a) of a nozzle (16). At this moment, the materials are not mixed. When the materials are discharged from a fluid discharge outlet (16c), compressed air introduced from an air supply hole (16b) of the nozzle forms a high-speed vortex flow of the compressed air in front of the nozzle (16) and the discharged raw materials are crushed into fine particles and mixed by this vortex flow, thereby obtaining a uniformly mixed material (27).
