Abstract: The method and system of decompressing color video data for use in a video information communication system utilizes digitized run length and color information to represent the pixels in the scan lines of a video picture frame. The digitized signals are of a first digital word size, the run length portion of the digitized signal is of a second digital word size and the color portion of the digitized signal is of a third digital word size. The run length portion and the three digital color components data are stored in an array in a memory to represent the pixels in the scan lines of the video picture frame; and the color portion of the digitized signal is converted into three digital color components of fourth, fifth, and sixth digital word sizes. The memory consists of a pingpong A buffer memory and a pingpong B buffer memory, from which the run length and color information is transferred to a display drawing engine which generates a series of converted digital color components representing individual pixels, which is then converted to analog form for display on a monitor.

Patent AU-4698685-A (AU)
Title: Method of producing sterile and concentrated juices with improved flavor and reduced acid
Inventor: LAWHON JAMES T
IPC: A23L2/08
Filed: 1985-09-03
Abstract: Ultrafiltration is employed to preferentially pass an ultrafiltration (UF) permeate containing flavor and aroma components while retaining spoilage microorganisms in a UF retentate. The UF retentate is then treated to inactivate a sufficient number of spoilage microorganisms to inhibit spoilage of the juice under storage conditions. A UF permeate containing flavor and aroma components is then recombined with the UF retentate to provide a food juice suitable for storage while avoiding the loss or alteration of the desirable flavor and aroma components of fresh juice encountered in conventional juice processing. If desired, spoilage enzymes can be retained in the UF retentate and inactivated to inhibit deterioration of desirable juice qualities. Further, the UF permeate can be further treated by reverse osmosis to concentrate flavor and aroma components in an RO retentate. If desired, the acid content of juice can be reduced by passing a portion of the RO retentate or UF permeate through an ion-exchange column.

Abstract: A mechanically strong doped polymer sheeting-high-density polyethylene (HDPE) film-that provides excellent durability, high-maintenance and photo-transforming properties for covering hotbeds and greenhouses is comprised of: a light-transforming additive based on yttrium-europium oxysulfide; a light-stabilizing agent based on polyaminosuccinate; and a polymer resin used to form the high-density polyethylene 6-mil film. A preferred embodiment includes following composition and ratios: yttrium-europium oxysulfide content is 0.05-0.5% by weight; polyaminosuccinate content is 0.1-1% by weight; the ratio of yttrium-europium oxysulfide to polyaminosuccinate ranges from 0.5:1 to 1:2; and high-density polyethylene content is over 98.5% by weight according to above percentage of the additives. The doped polymer sheeting, HDPE film, for instance, can be fabricated efficiently and compactly packaged making it suitable for mass distribution. The film has photo-transforming properties that transform UV light into the wavelength of light that promotes photosynthesis in crop plants. This film, in turn, enhances crop growth and increases greenhouse internal ambient temperature leading to an extended growing season, higher crop quality and yield and frost protection-all that coupled with excellent durability and maintenance of the polymer sheeting. Finally, all of the doped polymer sheeting properties, as well as the sheeting itself, last over a period of two or more years.
