Title: Sulfide ore leaching process
Inventor: BOWES KEITH GRAHAM
IPC: C22B15/00
Filed: 2013-05-03
Abstract: The present invention discloses a new process for leaching sulfide minerals consisting of leaching crushed ore in a vat reactor, wherein the leaching solution is fed with an ORP value close to the upper limit suitable for leaching and the exiting leaching solution leaves the reactor with an ORP above the lower limit suitable for leaching the ore. The output leaching solution that leaves the leaching reactor goes through an iron oxidation stage outside the leaching reactor, with the iron oxidation producing soluble ferric sulfate that is mixed with a recirculated portion of the output leaching solution to increase its ORP up to a value close to the upper limit of the redox potential range that is suitable for the ore leaching.

Title: Improvements in or relating to image processing
Inventor: CLIFTON DAVID
IPC: G06T7/00
Filed: 2014-02-19
Abstract: An image processing apparatus uses first and second digital vascular image data to register two images. The two images may be from different imaging modes. The first and second images are processed with a two- dimensional, directional filter (500) that has the effect of producing clusters of orthogonally adjacent image data points in which the magnitude of an intensity gradient between each orthogonally adjacent image data point is less than a predetermined value. Subsequently, common clusters are identified between the first and second image data using a corner detecting algorithm (600). The directional filter produces "stepping" features, where vascular features would otherwise appear with smooth edges. These numerous features are identified by the corner detecting algorithm and can be used (1000) for registering common clusters between the first and second image data. The filter may be a rotating Gabor filter matched to vascular features in the images.
