Title: A floatable wave energy converter and a method for improving the efficiency of a floatable wave energy converter
Inventor: WHELAN MICHAEL MARTIN
IPC: F03B13/14
Filed: 2007-10-18
Abstract: A wave energy converter (1) comprises a housing (2) extending between a forward end (3) and an aft end (4). Three upstanding air chambers (15) are located in the housing (2) and three corresponding water accommodating ducts (16) extend aft from the air chambers (15) and terminate in aft water accommodating openings (17) for accommodating water into and out of the air chambers (15) as the housing (2) oscillates by pitching in response to passing waves. An air accommodating duct (21) communicates with the air chambers (15) through a manifold (20) for accommodating air into and out of the air chambers (15) as the water level (19a) falls and rises within the air chambers (15) as the housing (2) oscillates. A self-rectifying turbine (22) located in the air accommodating duct (21) powers an electrical generator (24) for generating electricity. A buoyancy tank (31) is located on the housing (2) above the water accommodating ducts (16) aft of the air chambers (15) for maintaining the housing (2) floating in the water. A first stabilising plate (28) extending in a generally forwardly downwardly direction extends from a lower sloping portion (27) at the forward end (3) of the housing (2) for controlling the pitching oscillating motion of the housing (2) relative to wave motion for in turn enhancing the power output produced by the converter (1). A forward ballast tank (31) and a pair of second stabilising plates (30) extending upwardly from the housing (2) enhance the stability of the converter (1).
Patent CA-2667066-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BOULANGER PIERRE BENOIT
IPC: G06T5/00
Filed: 2009-05-27
Abstract: An apparatus and method is provided for the automatic real-time, bi-layer segmentation of foreground and background portions of an image using the color and infrared images of the image. The method includes illuminating an object with infrared and visible light to produce infrared and color images of the object. An infrared mask is produced from the infrared image to predict the foreground and background portions of the image. A pentamap is produced from the color image to define the color image into five distinct regions. An iterative relaxation-labeling algorithm is applied to the images to determine the foreground and background portions of the image. The algorithm converges when a compatibility coefficient between adjacent pixels in the image reaches a predetermined threshold. A Gaussian filter or matting technique can then be applied to smooth the transition between the foreground and background portions of the image.
