Title: Colour noise removal using linear variation rate of the chrominance signal with regard to the luminance signal
Inventor: JANG SOON-GEUN
IPC: H04N9/64
Filed: 2008-11-06
Abstract: Colour noise of an image signal is removed in which a distortion of a YCbCr color space caused by noise is corrected using correlations between color channels in the YCbCr color space of low frequency (LF) and high frequency (HF) components of an image signal while maintaining the HF component. The apparatus includes: a separator separating the image signal including a luminance signal and a chrominance signal into an LF component and an HF component; an LF noise remover removing noise of the LF component from the image signal; an HF noise remover applying a linear variation rate of the chrominance signal with regard to the luminance signal of the noiseless LF component to the HF component separated from the image signal and generating a new HF component; and a combiner combining the noiseless LF component and the new HF component.

Filed: 2008-11-21
Abstract: A computing device 10, which may be a multiprocessor device, comprising an event monitor 20 for observing events occurring within the computing device and a prediction component 22. The prediction component is configured to cause an operating parameter, which is preferably operating frequency, associated with the power consumption of the computing device to change if a sequence of events observed by the event monitor 20 corresponds to a pre-defined sequence associated with the change in the operating parameter. The device may also comprise a learning component 18 configured to learn the pre-defined sequence of events and to verify predictions by examining a processor load monitor 14 after the sequence of events has occurred. A score relating to the accuracy of the prediction may be associated with a sequence of events recorded by the learning component. The computing device is incorporated into a mobile phone.

Title: Graphite gum dichromate process
Inventor: GRAFF STEPHANE GREGORY
IPC: G03C1/66
Filed: 2009-11-09
Abstract: A photographic printing process employing a suspension of graphite powder in a solution of gum arabic and potassium dichromate is disclosed. In use the mixture may be applied to fine water colour paper and air-dried. A negative is secured on top of the emulsion and the paper exposed to UV light thus hardening the dichromate in proportion to the amount of light exposure. The print is then place in a bath of cold water to remove unhardened areas of emulsion. This process may be repeated to build up an image. The mixture of gum acacia and bichromate does not require the use of pigments. The graphite is not absorbed into the fibers of the paper, but suspended in the gum solution, thus facilitating the clearing and washing of the image and yielding prints of higher contrast and density.

Patent GB-1107464-A (GB)
Title: Method of pulping ligno-cellulosic material
IPC: D21C7/00
Filed: 1965-03-10
Abstract: 1,107,464. Cellulosic pulps. BELOIT CORPORATION. 10 March, 1965 [11 March, 1964], Nn. 10154/65. Heading D2W. In a continuous process for pulping particles of ligno-cellulosic fibrous material, the particles are continuously maintained in suspension in a digestive liquor, so that the surfaces of the particles are continuously exposed to the liquor and the surface fibres are delignified more quickly than the interior fibres, the suspension is continuously agitated to free from the surface of the particles fibres loosened by the action of the liquor, a suspension of freed fibres without any particles substantially larger than the freed fibres is continuously withdrawn from the suspension of particles, part of the liquor is separated from the freed fibres, part of the separated liquor returned to the suspension of particles, and the suspensions are continuously maintained at a pressure above the saturated vapour pressure of the digestive liquor. As shown, chips C enter the top of digester 11 through a pressure feeder 21, where their surfaces are attacked by the liquor in the digester. Rotary devices R (detailed in Fig. 4, not shown) circulate the liquor in the digester. Behind each device R is a restriction of substantially the size of a freed fibre, leading to a take-off line 34, a header 35a, and a separator 12. In this separator, the pulp is pressed and the freed liquor is recycled through line 40. The pressed pulp passes through line 41 to trap tank 42, still under pressure. Vent lines 43 from the trap tank and 45 from the digester lead to a header 44 for the venting through valve 46 of volatile matter such as turpentine. The pulp in the trap tank 42 is washed and cooled by water from line 49 and then taken out through valve 50 and line 51 to further washing. The freed liquor passes through line 40 to header 60 and pump 61. Device 62 senses the pH in the header and controls the admission of fresh liquor from source 64. The liquor then passes through heat exchanger 66 back to the digester. A consistency sensor 69 controls valve 65 to maintain the consistency constant. Liquid-level controls are provided for both the digester and the trap tank, and liquor can be withdrawn through the line 74. In a modification (Fig. 2, not shown), circulation of the suspension is helped by drawing off part of it from the bottom of the digester, and returning it to the top. The chips may be wetted before being fed to the digester (Fig. 3, not shown). The liquor used may be that of the kraft process.
