Patent EP-1497989-A1 (EP)
Inventor: DUCKSBURY PAUL G
IPC: H04N7/26
Filed: 2003-04-09
Abstract: The invention describes a wavelet compression method for colour converted image planes (Y, Cb and Cr), wherein a relatively low (e.g. zero) degree of compression is performed in areas of an original colour image having relatively higher importance, and a relatively higher degree of compression in those areas indicated to be of lower importance. It performs a hierarchical encoding of a reduced wavelet image by discarding wavelet coefficients which satisfy the two criteria of firstly corresponding to image areas of relatively lower importance and secondly being below a certain wavelet coefficient threshold. The wavelet coefficient threshold is determined from a calculation of cumulative histogram to remove a percentage of the image and can be specified as an input parameter by a user.

Abstract: According to the present invention, a cross over nozzle is provided of two parts which, when joined, define a housing having a passage extending therethrough, a tapered valve seat extending about the passage and a valve member having a tapered valve head disposed in the passage for engaging the valve seat. The two parts are axially separable at an interface extending through the valve seat/valve head. In order to open the valve, both valve parts are first joined and then moved together as one member in the same direction relative to the housing axially away from the valve seat. Similarly, the valve members are jointly moved into engagement with the valve seat before the cross over nozzle is separated. Accordingly, unlike the valve gate design, the valve interface between the two parts of the valve head isn't exposed to molten resin and therefore molten resin isn't trapped therebetween to cause a string upon opening.
