Abstract: An image processing apparatus which uses morphology is provided. A masked image is provided to a morphological processing section of the image processing apparatus. The morphological processing section calculates the opening gap of the masked image, calculates the minimum number N of iterations of dilations required for filling the opening gap and, after performing N dilations, executes N erosions to remove a mesh pattern. Then, an edge detecting section detects the edges of a wiring pattern in the image and a measuring section calculates the distance between the edges, which is the width of the wiring.

Abstract: Control of lead contamination in residential water supplies is accomplished by cathodic protection of lead-containing piping and lead-containing fixtures. Specifically, a partially insulated wire (3) is inserted into lead-containing service lateral piping (2). Application of a DC current to the partially insulated wire (3) causes the wire (3) to act as an anode and transforms the walls of the pipe (2) into the cathode, thereby protecting against corrosion. Alternatively, a sacrificial anode (14) is inserted into a lead-containing fixture (12). The electrical potential generated by corrosion of this sacrificial anode (14) transforms the walls of the fixture (12) into a cathode, thereby preventing corrosion. Carbonate scaling built-up prior to the initiation of cathodic protection may be removed by temporarily blocking the water pipe and introducing cleaning chemicals.

Abstract: The lenses of this invention have an optical axis that is deviated away from the line of sight, in a direction generally opposite the inward tilt of the lateral wrap and/or the incline of pantoscopic tilt; to offset the tilt induced prism. Low power may be introduced into the lenses to decrease their taper, further offset the tilt induced prism and astigmatism (particularly in peripheral fields of view), lessen weight, provide better physical stability, and allow more uniform light transmission than plano lenses. The lenses may be cut from lens blanks in which the A line of the lens is at a non-zero angle to an equator of the lens, and the optical center of the lens may be horizontally and vertically displaced from the geometric center of the lens, and even off the lens altogether. This invention provides greater versatility in cutting a lens from a lens blank in a position that avoids peripheral irregularities in the molded lens blank, while significantly decreasing tilt induced prism, yoked and vergence demands, and astigmatic blur along the line of sight and peripherally.

Abstract: Halftone-dot image data (H) in a position space is converted into data (S1) in a frequency space by fast Fourier transform unit (40), and data (S2) including low-frequency noise components whose frequency is lower than the fundamental frequency component of halftone dots is extracted from the data in the frequency space by a low-pass filter (42). The extracted data including the frequency noise components is inversely converted into image data (N) in the position space by an inverse fast Fourier transform unit (44). Pixels of the halftone-dot image data (H) in positions which correspond to pixels including the noise components in the inversely converted image data (N) are corrected by a corrector (46) such that the noise components will be reduced. The correcting process is in the position space, and can simply be carried out. A binary halftone-dot image generated from the corrected halftone-dot image data (Ha) is substantially free of any moire pattern which would otherwise be caused by an interference between the output resolution of an image output device and the frequency of halftone dots.

Abstract: Hier geht es um ein Verfahren zum Bestimmen neurologischer Beeinträchtigungen. Dabei wird eine Augenbewegung einer zu testenden Person mittels eines optischen Stimulus (S, S', S") stimuliert, die Augenbewegung ermittelt und in ein entsprechendes elektronisches Signal umgesetzt. Aus der Augenbewegung wird nach einem Vergleich ein Testsignal (R) gewonnen. Nun wird ein in seiner Position veränderlicher Stimulus (S, S', S") verwendet, dem das Auge (4) folgen soll. Das Testsignal (R) wird dann aus dem Vergleich der Bewegung des Stimulus (S a ) mit der Bewegung (M) des Auges (4) gewonnen. Dementsprechend umfasst eine zugehörige Vorrichtung eine ein stimulierendes Signal (S, S', S") abgebende Einrichtung (1, 6, 7), eine die Augenbewegung beobachtende und ein entsprechendes Ausgangssignal liefernde Einrichtung (3) sowie eine Vergleichs- und Auswerteeinrichtung (6). Der ein stimulierendes Signal abgebenden Einrichtung (1, 6, 7) ist ein Bewegungssignal zuführbar und der Vergleichs- und Auswerteeinrichtung (6) ist sowohl das genannte Ausgangssignal als auch das Bewegungssignal zuführbar. Die daraus gewonnenen Unterschiede bilden das Testsignal (R).

Abstract: A method to improve light extraction efficiency of a light emitting element such as an electroluminescent element is disclosed. Over a substrate, a first electrode, a light emitting layer, and a second electrode are sequentially stacked. The first electrode is a reflective electrode. The second electrode is an electrode which transmits visible light, and light emitted from the light emitting layer is extracted from the second electrode. In contact with a surface of the second electrode, many fine particles are provided. The fine particles have a refractive index which is equal to or higher than that of the second electrode. Light which passes through the second electrode is scattered and refracted by the fine particles. Accordingly, the amount of light which is totally reflected at an interface between the second electrode and a gas is reduced, and light extraction efficiency is improved.
