Abstract: A process and a device operating in real time for identifying and localizing an area in relative movement in a scene and determining the speed and oriented direction of the relative movement in real time. The process carries out temporal processing of a digital video input signal S(PI) that includes deducing, from the variations between the value of each pixel in a frame and in the immediately preceding frame, a binary signal DP identifying whether or not there was a significant variation and a digital signal CO representing the magnitude of this variation, and a spatial processing including distributing in a matrix these two signals successively for a single frame that is scanned through the matrix, and deducing the required relative movement and its parameters from this matrix distribution. The device includes a temporal processing unit associated with a memory and a spatial processing unit associated with a delay unit, a clock unit and control unit to control the rate of operation of the temporal and spatial processing units.

Abstract: A teleconferencing system that integrates separate real-time and asynchronous networks - the former for real-time audio and video, and the latter for control signals and textual, graphical and other data - in a manner which closely approximates the experience of face-to-face collaboration. The system provides an audio/video (AV) path (13) for carrying AV signal among the workstations, a video mosaic generator (36) for combining images, and an audio summer or mixer (38). At least part of the AV path (13b) is implemented with unshielded twisted pair wiring. The system architecture is readily scalable to the largest enterprise network environments. It accommodates differing levels of collaborative capabilities available to individual users and permits high-quality audio and video capabilities to be readily superimposed onto existing personal computers and workstations (12) and their interconnecting LANs (10) and WANs (15). In the case of a plurality of geographically dispersed LANs (10) interconnected by a WAN (15), the demands made on the WAN are significantly reduced by employing multi-hopping techniques, including avoiding the unnecessary decompression of data at intermediate hops, as well as video mosaicing and cut-and-paste technology.

Abstract: The invention relates to natural silicates having a fabrous structure, and being plastically deformable in the presence of humidity. These silicates contain activated carbon which is homogeneously incorporated inside the mass. These new materials which have a micro, meso and macroporous structure, combine the high surface performances of the activated carbon with the textural characteristics of the fibrous silicates. In one application, said new materials can be used to prepare monoliths or perforated structures presenting multiple channels which are parallel to the longitudinal axis and intended to be used as adsorbants in the treatment of high gas volumes, while offering high resistance to abrasion and low charge loss during the passage of the gas to be treated, as well as a high adsorbtion capacity specially for high molecular weight compounds.

Abstract: This invention relates to processes for the production of symmetrical polyurea-urethane coated granular fertilizer products, and to the symmetrical polyurea-urethane coated granular fertilizer products produced by these processes. These processes comprise coating fertilizer granules with compounds which react to form urethane coatings which contain terminal isocyanate groups, followed by polymerization of these urethanes to form symmetrical polyurea-urethanes. Suitable compounds comprise a) an organic polyisocyanate component, and b) an alkanol-amine component containing at least one tertiary amine group and at least one hydroxyl group. These compounds are present in sufficient quantities that the molar ratio of isocyanate groups to isocyanate-reactive groups is from about 1.6:1.0 up to about 10.0:1.0 in each encapsulating layer. It is necessary that sufficient amounts of these compounds are applied to the fertilizer granules such that the symmetrical polyurea-urethane coated granular fertilizer particles contain from about 0.5 to about 15% by weight of polyurea-urethane, based on the total weight of the encapsulated fertilizer particles.

Abstract: The invention uses a stack of three compartment electrodialysis cells in a process for the production amino acid hydrochloride and an alkali. The electrodialysis cell contains bipolar, cation and anion membranes which are arranged to form acid, base and salt compartments. The process begins with supplying a salt solution to the salt compartment, water to the base compartment, and a liquid comprising an amino acid to the acid compartment. Preferably, the feed salt is sodium chloride or potassium chloride or lithium chloride. A direct current driving force is applied across the cell to convert the salt solution to an alkali in the base compartments and an amino acid hydrochloride in the acid compartment. The acid and alkali solutions and a depleted salt solution are withdrawn from their respective compartments. A chelating agent may be added to the salt solution before it is fed into the electrodialysis cell.

Abstract: An engine is described having pistons and cylinder arranged in mutually orthogonal pairs. Each pair is driven by a respective crank, with the pairs of cranks rotating about a primary crank which in turn rotates about an axis orthogonal to the axes of the pairs of pistons and cylinders. The throw of the respective cranks about the primary crank is the same as the throw of the primary crank about its axis. A counter-balancing weight is provided opposite to the primary crank. The resulting engine is balanced and lateral forces on the cylinder wall are reduced allowing the use of ceramic materials for the cylinders.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method in film transfer coating in a film press, in which press the nip (N) of the film press is formed out of two faces placed against each other and moving in the same direction so that said moving faces are pressed against each other in the nip. A coating agent or surface size is applied as a film (F1, F2) onto at least one of the moving faces that form the film press nip (N) and that are subjected to pressing, in which connection the coating agent or surface size is transferred in the nip (N) between the moving faces onto the paper or board web (W) running through the nip. After the nip the web is separated either directly from the nip or so that it follows one or the other of the moving faces. The web is separated from the nip so that, at least at one side of the web, the curve radius of the opening geometry is larger than 0.75 metre. The invention also concerns a film press intended for carrying out the method.
