Title: Method of color matching between color image processing devices, by interpolation of relatively small number of color data sets
Inventor: TAKAGI ATSUSHI
IPC: G09G5/02
Filed: 1998-11-11
Abstract: Color matching method wherein relatively small number of
input color data sets (Xn, Rn) are applied to first image
processor (10, 14), to obtain the corresponding output color
data sets (Rn, Xn) which are interpolated to obtain
relatively large number of output color data sets, which are
used to obtain relatively large number of the corresponding
input color data sets by inverse estimation, for obtaining
first high-resolution input-output relationship
 Rn = f imag (Xn)  or  Xn = f disp (Rn)  of the first image processor,
and wherein second high-resolution input-output relationship
( Xn = f disp (Rn ) or  Xn = f copy (Rn)  of second image processor
(24, 20) is similarly obtained, so that a color data
correlationship  Rn(SG2) = f(Rn(SG1) ) or  Rn(SG3) = f(Rn(SG2) )
for converting the relatively large number of input color
data sets of the first image processor into the relatively
large number of input color data sets of the second image
processor is obtained according to the first and second
high-resolution input-output relationships.

Abstract: A thermal input system is provided for a dishwasher having an interior wash chamber
receiving soiled dishes and wash liquid. A heater (22) is disposed in a sump region (18) of the wash
chamber along with a wash pump (40) which operates to recirculate wash liquid throughout the
wash chamber. A soil collection chamber (46) receives a portion of recirculating wash liquid from
the wash pump wherein soils entrained in the wash liquid are captured within the soil
collection chamber. A pressure sensor (60) senses fluid pressure within the soil collection chamber.
Control means are provided for energizing the heater during a thermal hold period in response
to the pressure within the soil collector exceeding a predetermined limit pressure. In
particular, the control means operates to sequence the dishwasher through a predetermined
period of operation but bypasses the thermal hold cycle when the pressure within the soil
collector does not exceed the predetermined limit pressure.

Abstract: A content addressable memory employs a word-sliced architecture,
in order to localize word match logic, and a global data bus, to convey
data between the memory input/output circuitry and the plurality of
word slices. Timing information is embedded in the global data bus in the
form of a model global data signal. This signal interacts with two major
control signals to self-time the memory. The number of major control
signals is such that all possible memory states are uniquely represented,
but the memory cannot power-up in an invalid or unrecoverable state.
Three model timing paths are used to match the delay of the self-timing
loop with that of the actual operation: one each for READ, WRITE and
SEARCH.

Abstract: Accessories for an angle grinder include a disposable rotary sanding disk having quite
large shaped ventilating/viewing apertures, for use with a resilient backing plate also
having shaped ventilating apertures. The apertures of one or both parts are shaped so
that snagging of the apertures on projections from the work surface is minimized and
to facilitate air flow across the work surface during use. This air flow helps in cooling
the work and ejecting detritus, so minimising clogging effects. The ventilating
apertures also facilitate viewing the work to be sanded through the spinning disk
during the abrasion process, so that operator feedback is immediate. The holes also
give the sanding disk more resilience so that a greater area comes in contact with the
work and the disk wears more evenly over its abrasive surface.

Abstract: To reduce the number of calculations and
prevent an error from being detected due to a phase
deviation when detecting a motion vector corresponding
to the block matching method. A representative pixel
value x of a base block composed of (3 x 3) pixels is
detected by a representative value extracting circuit
7. A maximum value and a minimum value of a
verification block that has the same size as the base
block are detected by a MAX/MIN detecting circuit 8. A
comparing circuit 9 compares and determines whether or
not the representative pixel value x is in the range
from the MAX to the MIN. An evaluated value
calculating circuit 10 calculates an evaluated value Δ
corresponding to the compared result. When x is
included in the range from the MAX to the MIN, Δ is 0.
An evaluated value is calculated in the vicinity of the
position corresponding to the representative pixel of
the reference frame. Corresponding to the evaluated
value, a motion vector is detected.

Abstract: A method of depositing a bond coat (16) of a
thermal barrier coating (TBC) system (14) for components
designed for use in a hostile thermal environment, such as
turbine, combustor and augmentor components (10) of a gas
turbine engine. The method yields a bond coat (16) having
an adequate surface roughness for adhering a plasma-sprayed
ceramic layer (18) while also producing a bond
coat (16) that is dense with low porosity, thereby
yielding a thermal barrier coating system (14) that is
highly resistant to spallation. The method generally
entails forming the bond coat (16) by depositing two metal
powders on the substrate (12) using either a vacuum plasma
spraying (VPS) or high velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) technique.
The particle size distributions of the two powders are
chosen to yield a bimodal (dual-peak) particle size
distribution that will produce a VPS and HVOF bond coat
(16) characterized by a macro-surface roughness of at
least about 350 microinches Ra attributable to particles
of the coarser powder. The particles of the finer powder
fill the interstices between particles of the coarser
powder to achieve a density of at least about 95% of
theoretical density, and contribute to a micro-surface
roughness that, in combination with the macro-surface
roughness provided by the coarser particles, enhances
adhesion of the ceramic layer (18).

Abstract: A battery system for an body stabilized satellite
travelling in a geosynchronous orbit comprises first and
second battery modules (38, 44) and east and west facing
radiators (40, 46) for discharging heat to deep space. Heat
conduction arteries (42, 48) connect each battery module to
its associated radiator (40, 46). An east thermal switch
(50) is operable for thermally connecting the first battery
module (38) to and from the east facing radiator (40).
Similarly, a west thermal switch (52) is operable for
thermally connecting the second battery module (44) to and
from the west facing radiator (46). A computer (54)
selectively operates the east and west thermal switches (50,
42) such that, in one instance, for a time between the
satellite's emergence from the earth's shadow and its
position nearest the sun, the respective thermal switches
thermally connect the first battery module (38) to its
radiator (40) while thermally disconnecting the second
battery module (44) from its radiator (46). In another
instance, beginning when the satellite is nearest the sun
and ending as it enters the earth's shadow, the east thermal
switch (50) thermally disconnects the first battery module
(38) from its radiator (40) while the west thermal switch
(52) thermally connects the second battery module (44) to
its radiator (46). In still another instance, beginning
when the satellite is in the shadow of the earth, the
battery modules (38, 44) are simultaneously thermally
connected to their associated radiators (40, 46). Charging
of each battery proceeds while it is thermally connected to
its respective radiator.
