Abstract: An image processing apparatus of this invention is arranged so that a threshold for use in binarization is switched between two types in accordance with whether or not a portion in which input pixel data is located is positioned in the vicinity of an edge portion of an image. One type is a threshold which varies in the width of variation corresponding to the density of the input pixel, while the other type is a fixed threshold. If an objective pixel is located in the vicinity of an edge portion of an image, binarization is carried out with the fixed threshold, while if the objective pixel is located in a non-edge portion, the variable threshold is used. The error produced by the binarization means is distributed to non-binarized pixel data in dependence upon an output of edge detection means.

Abstract: A unit (10) for fastening iron fittings (43) to furniture parts, comprises an expansion plug (11) which axially receives a pin (12) rotatable between an insertion position and an expansion position of the expansion plug. 
     The pin has a radial surface (34) designed to imprison an iron fitting between it and an opposing top end of the expansion plug. The radial protrusion defines a flat surface (34), substantially perpendicular to the axis of the pin, which extends partially over a coupling seat (35) formed in the opposing top end (14) of the expansion plug around the passage (13) for insertion of the pin in the expansion plug, the bottom (36) of the seat forming a surface facing the flat surface of the radial protrusion, the slot (35) having a side wall (38) facing a corresponding side wall (39) of the pin. The seat (35) can thus receive a substantially complementary portion provided on the iron fitting in correspondence with a hole in the latter for the passage of the pin.

Abstract: A valve actuation assembly is disclosed for use on an internal combustion engine (10). The assembly includes a cam follower having a follower body (34) configured to receive a pair of spaced rollers (58) therein. The rollers (58) are mounted on shafts (62) in the follower body and extend outwardly from a head portion to engage corresponding spaced cam surfaces (30,32) of a rotatable camshaft (28) for actuating the valve lifter and, consequently, an associated engine valve (18). Retention of the roller shafts within the lifter body is through a wire c-ring (100) which engages circumjacent internal and external ring grooves (102,104) located in the shaft opening (64) in the lifter body and on the outer circumference of the roller shaft. The shaft groove includes straight-sided and full-radius portions combining to provide a total depth which is at least equal to the diameter of the wire. The shaft opening groove is limited to a full-radius portion having a total depth less than that of the wire diameter. The c-shaped wire ring is formed so that, in its free state, it has an outside diameter larger than the groove in the shaft opening but, in an elastically collapsed state, its outside diameter is no larger than the shaft diameter. When the roller-shaft assembly is installed in the shaft opening of the lifter body, the c-shaped wire ring is elastically collapsed into the shaft groove. As such, the shaft and wire ring may be inserted into the shaft openings in the lifter body with little effort until the shaft reaches a position at which the shaft and opening grooves come into registry, allowing the wire ring to expand outwardly into the shaft opening groove in an attempt to reach its free-state shape. Ring expansion is limited by the total depth of the shaft opening groove being less than the diameter of the wire resulting in an interference between the seated wire and the shaft groove which locates and retains the shaft in the shaft opening of the lifter body.

Date Jul. 18, 1996A method is described for forming a solution of cellulose in a tertiary amine oxide (such as N-methylmorpholine N-oxide) and a non-solvent for cellulose (such as water). The method involves the preparation of a mixture containing excess non-solvent, and removing the excess by heating the mixture to a temperature in excess of the boiling point of the non-solvent at a predetermined sub-atmospheric pressure, and feeding the heated mixture into the introduction zone of a mixing chamber at the predetermined sub-atmospheric pressure, so as to cause flash evaporation of some of the excess non-solvent. The mixture in the mixing chamber is then agitated by a rotor and transported through the mixing chamber whilst further evaporation of the non-solvent occurs. The cellulose solution thus formed is extracted from the mixing chamber, and the evaporated non-solvent withdrawn in cocurrent mode from the same end of the mixing chamber. Apparatus for carrying out the method is also described.

Title: Procede et equipement de separation de particules non solubles d'un liquide
Inventor: DUFOUR RENEAU
IPC: B01D17/035
Filed: 1996-03-20
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un clarificateur destiné au traitement d'un liquide contenant des particules non solubles en suspension conçu pour séparer ces particules du liquide. Ce clarificateur comprend une cuve, une conduite d'alimentation en liquide qui débouche dans la partie inférieure de la cuve et un injecteur pour injecter un gaz sous pression dans au moins une partie du liquide fourni à la conduite d'alimentation afin de saturer ce liquide du gaz en question et, ainsi, de produire des bulles de gaz alors le liquide saturé subit une décompression à l'intérieur de la cuve. Les bulles de gaz ainsi formées adhèrent aux particules en suspension dans le liquide et les font monter, formant une couche flottante de boue à la partie supérieure de la cuve, où se trouve un racloir servant à écrémer la couche de boue pendant qu'elle se forme. Plusieurs plaques s'étendent dans la cuve, selon un certain angle, au-dessus de la conduite d'alimentation. Ces plaques forment un ensemble de canaux inclinés vers le haut, l'extrémité supérieure de chacun d'eux étant ouverte et permettant au liquide introduit dans la cuve de pénétrer dans le canal. Une sortie de liquide est montée à l'extrémité inférieure de chaque canal pour recueillir et éliminer de la cuve le liquide qui a été traité dans celle-ci. Grâce à sa forme et à sa structure, ce clarificateur occupe au sol une surface qui est inférieure de 50 % ou moins à celle de tout clarificateur connu ayant la même capacité. Sa structure permet aussi de maintenir beaucoup plus de microbulles de la grosseur voulue, pour une même quantité d'air injecté, afin d'accroître la probabilité de contact entre les particules et les bulles d'air.

Abstract: An assay for enzymes which act on substrates to produce a single-stranded oligonucleotide product has been developed which involves the DNA polymerase-catalyzed extension of the oligonucleotide cleavage product using labeled nucleotides and a DNA template containing a 3' region complementary to the oligonucleotide product joined to a 5' region consisting of repeated nucleotide residues. The DNA polymerase extension assay does not involve gel electrophoretic separation and is amenable to high volume screening of potential inhibitors. Other key features of the assay are that it monitors the substrate cleavage reaction only at the correct position in the sequence, thereby discriminating against nonspecific cleavage products, and that it is sensitive enough to detect 200 attomoles of product.
