Abstract: Two color transformations, as described herein, facilitate identification of the objects of interest in the biological specimen. One of the color transformations, a Minus Clear Plus One (MC+1) transformation, can be conceptualized as either translating and rotating axes of a three-dimensional coordinate space that defines an image of the biological specimen or calculating differences between vectors in the three dimensional coordinate space that defines the image of the biological specimen. The other of the color transformations, a Quantitative Chromatic Transformation (QCT),is a colorimetric transformation that produces three new quantitities from the original red, green, and blue pixel values for each color pixel of an image. These three new quantities, X, Y, and Z  can each be related to the quantitative amount of absorbing molecules sampled by that pixel. Application of one or both of the color transformations to the image of the biological specimen results in a transformed image, in which objects of interest are more readily identifiable.

Title: Method and apparatus for prepping a surface using a coating particle entrained in a pulsed waterjet or airjet
Inventor: VIJAY MOHAN M
IPC: B05D3/12
Filed: 2010-04-20
Abstract: An innovative method of prepping a surface entails entraining a coating particle into a fluid stream, directing the fluid stream containing the coating particle at the surface to be prepped to thereby prep the surface using the coating particle. The prepped surface can then be coated using the same or substantially similar coating particle.  This method can be used with a continuous airjet, a forced pulsed airjet, a continuous waterjet or a forced pulsed waterjet as the carrier stream. This invention solves the problem of foreign blasting particles becoming embedded in the atomic matrix of the surface to be prepped, which can result in unpredictable behaviour of the surface properties and even catastrophic failure.

Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for generating a layered encoded bitstream structure that exploits correlation in header information among video blocks of a coded unit of video data. A video encoder configured to operate in accordance with the techniques of this disclosure separates header information of the video blocks of a slice (or other coded unit) from the residual information of the video blocks of the slice. The video encoder run length encodes the header information of the video blocks to better exploit the correlation of the header in-formation among the blocks of the slice. After encoding the header information of the blocks of the slice, the video encoder encodes the residual information for each of the blocks of the slice. The video encoder transmits the encoded header information as a first sequence of bits and transmits the encoded residual information as second sequence of bits.
