Abstract: The invention proposes a considerably milder preparation of a solid nutrient substrate for the cultivation of microorganism cultures in pure culture. The grain mass is, before the swelling, cleaned in a process room (3) in grading and cleaning devices (56) customary in mills. The swelling takes place, depending on the type of grain, in excess water at 50 to 99 DEG C and takes place together with a chemical surface sterilisation. The chemical treatment results, together with the heat but without the conventionally used steam sterilisation temperatures, in a sterile nutrient substrate. The grains can be subjected to a double or even multiple coating process with adhesive and nutrient substances and therefore have a much thicker powder layer applied. The incubation material is very free-flowing when ready to use, the mycelium grows optimally thereon, and the process can, moreover, be operated considerably more economically. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In motion compensated field rate upconversion systems intermediate fields of a television picture, not present at the input (I), are calculated by means of motion compensated interpolation. A typical application is conversion between 50 Hz and 100 Hz television signals for display flicker reduction. In principle, every pixel in the intermediate fields can be the direct output of a motion compensated interpolator (MCI). In practice, however, there will always be areas of the picture where the motion is too fast or too complex to be estimated correctly. 
According to the invention, the final output (O) is in fact the result of a soft switch (SSW) or fade between the motion compensated interpolation (MCI) and a fallback mode (FFI), controlled by a measure of confidence (CF) in the reliability of the estimated motion vector. Advantageously, the confidence measure includes the following two components: a 'basic confidence measure' which reflects the error (BME) in the motion measurement, and a measure based on the speed of movement (MVX, MVY).

Abstract: In a helmet (1) for riding a vehicle, a chin cover (14) is expandably and contractibly upholstered at a lower edge of a chin covering portion (3a) for covering the user's chin. At least a portion of the chin cover (14) is formed of a mesh material (15), so that the egress of a user's breath through the mesh material (15) is promoted by wind flowing along a lower surface of the chin cover (14). Thus, it is possible to inhibit a wind noise due to the ingress of wind into the chin covering portion (3a) of the cap body (3) and to eliminate the retention of the user's breath in the chin covering portion (3a).

Abstract: In an image processing apparatus, images on an original document captured by an image capturing device are classified into a binary image and a gradation image, and the densities of the images are then converted using density conversion curves, which are provided for binary images and gradation images, to output an image signal representing converted images. The state of a certain pixel is judged and is classified as one of a plurality of states between binary images and gradation images. Based on the results of the judgment, one curve is selected from a first density conversion curve for binary images, a second density conversion curve for gradation images and at least one third density conversion curve which interpolates the first and second density conversion curves. The density of the certain pixel is converted using the selected curve. The image processing apparatus can provide a high contrast in a binary image area of an original document and maintain the gradation of an image in a gradation image area of the original document. Also, the apparatus can output an image density signal which does not cause an unnatural vision due to an abrupt change in density.

Abstract: In the inventive method and apparatus for calendering a surface of a paper or board web, a temperature difference is created between the web surfaces so that the surface to be calendered is cooler than the opposite surface. In addition, moisture within the web is transferred using the so-called heat pipe effect toward the cooler surface while substantially preventing evaporation of moisture from the web so as to create a predetermined moisture profile transversely through the web and decrease the glass transition temperature of the web at the relatively cooler surface to be calendered. Finally, the web having the predetermined moisture profile is advanced into the calendering nip so that the relatively cooler and moister surface of the web is pressed against the heated roll of the nip to thereby calender that web surface.
