Title: Device and method for simplifying vector graphics
Inventor: PUBL TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET LM ER
IPC: G06T9/00
Filed: 2006-07-07
Abstract: Today's computer programs that convert raster images into vector-based images do not optimize/compress the vector representation of the vector-based images. Instead, they simply keep all of the complex edges for the vector objects within the vector-based images. The present invention described herein functions to create a compressed vector-based image by simplifying the shapes of common complex edges which are shared by adjacent vector objects. The compression (lossless compression) of the vector objects is done without affecting the perceived quality of the vector-based image.

Title: Reducing the transient specific fuel consumption of a turbocharged i.c. engine having an electronically controlled turbine inlet flow control device
Inventor: TUFAIL KHIZER
IPC: F02B37/24
Filed: 2009-05-19
Abstract: A method for reducing transient specific fuel consumption of an engine is disclosed in which a turbocharger inlet flow control device 44 is controlled so as to reduce pressure upstream from a turbocharger 14 and improve specific fuel consumption. In particular, when the pumping mean effective pressure (PMEP) exceeds a calibratable limit, a minimum closing limit is applied to the inlet flow control device 44 so as to prevent closure of the inlet flow control device 44 beyond this limit thereby minimising increases in upstream exhaust gas pressure and reducing pumping losses. The current value of PMEP may be determined using a virtual sensor produced by (a) accelerating the engine with the electronically controlled inlet flow device set to a predetermined position; (b) recording PMEP and pressure ratio for acceleration between idle speed and normal engine speed; (c) repeating (a) and (b) over a range of opening positions; (d) repeating steps (a) to (c) for a number of acceleration rates and (e) recording the generated data in a look-up table referencing PMEP values, pressure ratio values, engine acceleration and engine speed.

Title: Process of treating chocolate liquor
IPC: A23G1/04
Filed: 1947-04-15
Abstract: 625,314. Chocolate. TRIGGS, W. W. (Rockwood & Co.). April 15, 1947, No. 10036. [Class 129] [Also in Group II] Chocolate liquor is centrifuged in a liquid state to separate the gritty and non- gritty constituents, the separated constituents being removed from the centrifuge during the operation. The chocolate liquor flows from a tank 16 (which may be heated by a steam jacket 18) into the revolving casing 12 of the centrifuge by way of a pipe 22 and a perforated shaft 26. The shaft 26 carries a screw conveyer 14 and is rotated in the same direction as the casing 12 but at a lower speed. Gritty material is deposited on the wall of the casing 12 and is removed by the screw conveyer 14 to a discharge chamber 32. Separated liquids of different densities pass by way of one or more outlets 36 and one or more outlets 38, situated at different distances from the axis of rotation, to stationary chambers 40 and 42 respectively. The positions of the outlets 36 and 38 with respect to the axis of rotation may be made adjustable to permit variation of the densities of the separated liquids. Some of the liquid in the chamber 42, which is of higher cocoa butter content, is preferably conveyed through a pipe 44 to a tank 50 and thence to the supply tank 16, for the purpose of increasing the cocoa butter content of the chocolate liquor. Pipes 46, 56 and 58,are provided for the direct discharge of the separated liquids. The separated gritty material, containing about 40 per cent cocoa butter, is either subjected to grinding or has the cocoa butter expressed from it. The separated liquid of higher cocoa butter content contains about 5 per cent of very fine cocoa solids, which may be removed by filtration or by further centrifuging and used for making a superfine cocoa powder or other cocoa and chocolate products. The cocoa butter remaining may be added to the chocolate liquor.

Abstract: 1,247,442. Laminated films of synthetic organic materials. MOBIL OIL CORP. 25 Feb., 1969 [21 March, 1968], No. 10058/69. Headings B5B and B5N. A laminar flexible film structure comprises at least two synthetic organic thermoplastic film layers laminated together, (a) one of the layers being a support layer comprising a non-foamed continuous film layer, and (b) a second layer comprising a foam layer thin enough to constitute an open network of foam material on the exterior surface of the structure exposing the non-foamed support layer through random openings in the network of foam material. The thickness of the foam layer may be from 0À5 to 1À0 mil and the total thickness of the structure may be less than 10 mils. The foam layer may be not co-extensive with the support layer. The support layer may comprise polyethylene, polypropylene or polybutene and the foam layer an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer. The structure may be made by extruding at least two synthetic organic thermoplastic film-forming materials through a die orifice to form the layers of the laminate, one of the layers being the non-foamed continuous support layer and a second being the foamed layer formed with the aid of a sufficient incorporated blowing agent to constitute an open network of foam layer on the exterior of the structure, the non-foamed support layer being exposed through random openings in the network of foam material, and the width of the die orifice which forms the foamed layer being such that the thickness of the foamed layer does not exceed 0À1 mil. The structures of the invention may be made from a wide variety of film-forming synthetic organic thermoplastic materials such as, for example, polyolefins, polyvinyls, polyanides, polystyrenes, styrene copolymers and polyvinylidine chlorides. In the specific examples, tubular laminar structures are formed by simultaneously co-extruding through a single annular die orifice a layer of a polymer of a lower mono-olefin and a layer of a foamed ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer.
