Patent EP-1435728-A3 (EP)
Inventor: CROUNSE KENNETH
IPC: G06T5/00
Filed: 2003-12-17
Abstract: A threshold mask for converting a contone image to a halftone image
defines halftone cells that define halftone dots that undergo a
growth in population as tone levels increase. After some growth in
population, the halftone cells define halftone dots that then grow
in size from a first predetermined size as tone levels increase
further. During the growth in population, the halftone dots having a
second predetermined size are placed into halftone gaps. The second
predetermined size is smaller than the first predetermined size. In
the simplest implementation, FM screening is used up to a tone level
where the FM dither pattern holes begin to become visible. At this
point AM screening is applied only to the remaining dot centers
(corresponding to those holes) until they reach the stable dot size.
Then, the dots are further grown according to the method used
outside of the FM regime (e.g. the conventional AM process). In the
FM regime, two types of visual disturbances can arise. The "FM
regime" is the range of tones for which some form of FM screening is
being used, and applies to all tones lighter than the one in which
all halftone dot centers have, at minimum, achieved the stable
halftone dot. In this regime, disturbances can arise due to:
   1) variations in printed halftone dots smaller than the minimum
stable size; and   2) unpleasant patterns produced by the dithered stable dots. The
present invention allows for the creation of a screen with the
best trade-off between these disturbances at tone levels in the
FM regime.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a plasma display panel, and more particularly, to a method of displaying the gray scale in a plasma display panel. According to the present invention, a method of displaying gray scales in a plasma display panel having an inverse gamma correction unit that operates using gamma tables includes the steps of allowing the inverse gamma correction unit to match picture signals, which corresponds to an n number of frames (n is a natural number) respectively, to an n number of previously stored gamma tables, allowing the inverse gamma correction unit to perform an inverse gamma process on the picture signals received according to the matched gamma tables to produce real gray scales every frame, and allowing the inverse gamma correction unit to divide the real gray scales every frame by n and then to produce last real gray scales. More fine gray scales can be represented by extending the number of real gray scales. It is thus possible to remove noise and provide a much smooth image.

Abstract: Both an system and method are provided for transferring liquid carbon dioxide from a storage tank pressurised at 300 psi to a truck-transportable tank pressurised at about 110 psi. The system includes an inlet conduit having a hose portion connected between the storage and transportable tanks for conducting a flow of liquid carbon dioxide therebetween, and a vent hose connected to the transportable tank for venting gaseous carbon dioxide. Pressure regulators are connected to the inlet and vent hoses, respectively. In operation, the pressure regulator connected to the inlet conduit reduces the pressure of the flow of liquid carbon dioxide entering the transportable tank from 300 psi to 175 psi, while the pressure regulator connected to the vent conduit maintains a back pressure of 110 psi in the transportable tank while the allowing the venting of gaseous carbon dioxide. Automatic shut-off and purging mechanisms are provided for shutting off the flow of liquid carbon dioxide when the transportable tank is filled, and purging the inlet hose. A muffler is connected to the outlet of the vent hose for reducing the noise associated with the venting of gaseous carbon dioxide. The system allows an operator to easily and automatically fill a transportable cryogenic storage tank with liquid carbon dioxide with a minimum amount of waste and noise. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The valve has a valve lever and a valve pin connected to the lever. The valve lever has a motor driven counter member. First and second magnet elements are arranged respectively on the valve lever and the counter member. The counter member can move by means of the motor drive towards the valve pin. As soon as the counter member reaches a position where it contacts one of the magnets the two magnets can be attracted to each other and, at the same time, the counter member is moved away from the pin thus opening the valve opening to allow gas flow. The device also has a magnetic switch and a magnet element moveable with the valve pin such that when the pin is moved to the open position the magnet element can cooperate with the magnetic switch to switch off the valve pin drive motor holding the valve pin in the open position.
