Patent EP-1576540-A1 (EP)
Inventor: HENTSCHEL CHRISTIAN
IPC: H04N5/262
Filed: 2003-11-18
Abstract: A method of converting a first image (102) with a first resolution into a second image (106) with a second resolution, comprises pixel value insertion and convolution based on a non-separable multi-dimensional kernel which comprises a plurality of coefficients being equal to zero, a first portion of the plurality of coefficients being disposed on a first diagonal line through the non-separable multi-dimensional kernel and a second portion of the plurality of coefficients being disposed on a second diagonal line through the non-separable multi-dimensional kernel, the second diagonal line being perpendicular to the first diagonal line. A diagonal edge of 45 degrees in the first image is preserved in the case of an iso-trope scaling. That means that, if pixel values on the edge in the first image are mutually equal, then also the pixel values on the edge in the second image are mutually equal. Optionally, the method comprises sub-sampling.

Abstract: In the invention, a polyester resin comprising dicarboxylic acid
constitutional units and diol constitutional units wherein 5 to 60 mol% of the
diol constitutional units has a cyclic acetal skeleton is produced by a process
comprising an oligomerization step and a polymerization step. In the

to obtain an oligomer. The oligomer is then polymerized in the subsequent
polymerization step to increase the molecular weight.

Abstract: An adjustable compound optical microlens apparatus comprises first and second microlenses that are separated from one another along their optical axes. At least one of the microlenses is movable relative to the other. In a preferred embodiment, one microlens is stationary, the other movable. A MEMS controller electrically controls the position of the movable microlens relative to the stationary microlens, or the positions of at least two movable microlenses relative to one another. In a preferred embodiment, one microlens element is stationary, the other movable. A MEMS controller electrically controls the position of the movable microlens relative to the other. In accordance with one embodiment of our invention, an array of such microlens apparatuses is also contemplated, especially for applications such optical switches and routers. In accordance with another embodiment of our invention, the facing optical surfaces of the microlenses include partially transmissive metal coatings, so that the apparatus functions as an optical filter or dispersion compensator. Also described is method of compensating for variations in an optical parameter (e.g., effective focal length) of a first apparatus in an array comprises the steps of: (a) determining that the first apparatus in the array has a value of the parameter different from a predetermined standard value; and (b) applying an electrical signal to the MEMS controller of the first apparatus, thereby causing the controller to perform a mechanical action that makes the value of the parameter of the first apparatus closer to the standard value. (Illustratively, the mechanical action alters the separation and/or tilt between a pair of microlenses in the first apparatus.) In one embodiment, the standard value is stored (for example, in a computer), and in another embodiment it is determined by the value of the same parameter of a second apparatus in the array.

Abstract: The invention relates to a motorised application gun which is intended for the sealing of joints. The inventive gun comprises a hollow cylindrical inverted-T-shaped body (4) having three threaded ends such that it can be coupled to the outlet (1), the electric rotor of the power-generating device (7) and the filler neck (9). The inventive gun contains a screw conveyor (8) which is housed in the shaft of the rotor and which can rotate in both directions together with the shaft depending on the position of the switch (10). In this way, by rotating in one direction, the screw conveyor mixes and homogenises the material to be applied, while, by rotating in the opposite direction, the conveyor moves the material and forces same through the outlet. The invention can be used without force in order to apply a continuous, constant flow of homogenous material, thereby producing uniform sealing beads.
