Patent EP-0459967-A2 (EP)
Inventor: CHANG TAI MING
IPC: C09D7/80
Filed: 1991-05-14
Abstract: A dispersion of pigment colorant particles in a plasticizer, preferably for polyvinyl butyral (PVB) resin, exposed to a level of ultrasonic energy sufficient to provide a predetermined light transmission and a mean pigment particle size less than 1 micron, the concentration of particles in the dispersion being less than required to obtain such transmission without exposure to ultrasonic energy. A process improving the color consistency of such a dispersion involves subjecting it to ultrasonic energy sufficient to maximize the chroma of the dispersion in that the chroma "a" or chroma "b" value of the treated dispersion does not change by more than one unit with further ultrasonic treatment. Also, colored, transparent, plasticized synthetic thermoplastic resin sheet, preferably polyvinyl butyral, and a process for its preparation which involves subjecting a dispersion of resin plasticizer and pigment colorants to a level of ultrasonic energy providing a chroma value in a laminate of said sheet with glass at between about 2 to 86 percent light transmission at a pigment concentration in the sheet which is less than the pigment concentration to provide such chroma value in a comparison laminate with glass wherein the sheet in the comparison laminate contained mechanically sheared pigment particles which had not been ultrasonically treated. Sheet color consistency is improved in that the ultrasonic exposure maximizes color strength (chroma), the chroma "a" or chroma "b" component of the treated dispersion not changing by more than one unit with further ultrasonic treatment.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved dual beam multichannel spectrophotomer employing a simple and novel optical system in combination with photodiode arrays and a unique logrithmic data converter to convert light signals to absorbance. In particular, the optical system utilizes optical elements in a novel arrangement to direct a pair of equivalent sample and reference beams in an essentially parallel formation respectively through a sample and reference cell and to focus and direct the emergent sample and reference beams to a single flat horizonatally ruled grating which disperses each of the sample and reference beams respectively onto a pair of vertically disposed photodiode arrays whereby the light signals are converted into absorbance units (AU) by an unique logarithmic data converter. The spectrophotometer is highly accurate, has very low drift, less than 2 x 10⁻⁴ AU/°C, and very low noise, less than ±2 x 10⁻⁵AU. The dual beam multichannel spectrophotomer is particularly suitable for use in high pressure liquid chromatography to record the absorbance spectrum of the samples as they are being eluted from the chromatographic column.

Abstract: An automatic draft control for controlling the position of a vehicle-mounted hitch (14) includes a slip override circuit (116) responsive to a wheel signal (80,82) for modifying a hitch position command so that hitch draft is reduced by raising the hitch when the degree of vehicle wheel slip exceeds a threshold value. The slip is determined by measuring theoretical (no-slip) ground speed with a sensor (80,82) which senses the rate of rotation of the vehicle rear axle, and measuring true ground speed with a radar unit (84) mounted on one side of the vehicle. Because the radar unit (84) does not indicate the speed of the center line of the vehicle as it turns, the slip signal is prevented from modifying the hitch position command if the hitch (14) is raised since the hitch is usually raised when turning and there is no need to modify the position command with the slip signal when the hitch is raised. The true ground speed is automatically and repeatedly divided by the rate of rotation of the vehicle rear axle when conditions are such that wheel slippage is unlikely. The multiple divisions produce plural indications of a correction factor. These indications are filtered to obtain a correction factor which accounts for variations in the effective rolling radius of the wheels. Once the correction factor has been determined it is applied to the wheel speed sensor output to calculate the theoretical ground speed of the vehicle.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method of growing, in a vapor phase, a gold film having high electro-migration resistance and a flat surface, and capable of being buried in contact holes disposed in an insulating film of an integrated circuit device, for example, at a practical growing rate. 
     Dimethylgold hexafluoroacetylacetonato (DMAu(hfac)), for example, is used as a starting gas, and vapor growth is carried out under specific conditions by utilizing thermal CVD. Adhesion of the gold film can be improved by converting it to a two-layered film by the combination of plasma enhanced CVD with thermal CVD. The starting gas is preliminarily heated to form in advance an intermediate product, and this intermediate product is jetted to a substrate kept in a vacuum state so as to form the gold film on the substrate.

Abstract: A technique, specifically apparatus and an accompanying method, for accurately thresholding an image based on local image properties, specifically luminance variations, and particularly such a technique that uses multi-windowing for providing enhanced immunity to image noise and lessened boundary artifacts. Specifically, a localized intensity gradient, G(i,j), is determined for a pre-defined window (300) centered about each image pixel(i,j). Localized minimum and maximum pixel intensity measures, L min  and L max , respectively, are also determined for another, though larger, window (330) centered about pixel(i,j). Also, a localized area gradient measure, GS(i,j), is determined as a sum of individual intensity gradients for a matrix of pixel positions (370) centered about pixel position (i,j). Each image pixel(i,j) is then classified as being an object pixel, i.e., black, or a background pixel, i.e., white, based upon its area gradient, GS(i,j), and associated L min  and L max  measures.
