Patent EP-1646789-B1 (EP)
Inventor: GIMSA JAN
IPC: F04B19/00

Abstract: The invention relates to a pump comprising at least one pump chamber used to pump a fluid, also comprising an electrode device which is used to produce an electric alternating field and at least one dielectric element which is used to influence the field profile of the electric alternating field. Pump force required for pumping the fluid is produced by the electric alternating field. The aim of the invention is to produce a pump chamber having a particularly high pumping effect. Said aim is achieved by virtue of the fact that a dielectric element is arranged and embodied in such manner that the electric alternating field consists of a stationary and time-independent field gradient inside the pump chamber in the direction of pumping and a stationary and time-independent polarisation gradient is provided in the liquid in the direction of pumping.

Abstract: Scenes can be discriminated automatically and optimum prints corresponding to the scenes can be obtained.  A face of person is detected from an inputted image and it is determined whether or not a person is on the scene of the inputted image. If it is determined that a person is not on the scene of the inputted image, then it is determined that the inputted image is a landscape image. If it is determined that a person is on the scene of the inputted image, then the face area is calculated and the number of people is counted. If the face area is more than a predetermined ratio of the screen and the number of people is not less than a predetermined number of people, then it is determined that the inputted image is a snapshot of people image. If the face area is more than the predetermined ratio of the screen and the number of people is less than the predetermined number of people, then it is determined that the inputted image is a portrait image.

Abstract: An external tubular housing(1) has a mixing section(4) incorporating mixing blades(5) whose external dimensions correspond to the internal dimensions of the tube. A chamber(6) in the housing between an inlet(2) and an outlet (3) for the fluid components holds additives (7) to be introduced into the mixed material. The chamber(6) may be positioned before or after the mixing section(4) or between two mixing sections. The tubular housing(1) may have a circular, oval and/or rectangular internal cross-section, preferably circular and/or square. Housing internal cross-section may decrease from the inlet(2) to the outlet(3). Filtering walls(8,9) at the inlet and/or outlet end of the chamber allows fluid material through, but holds back non-dissolved or non-dispersed additives. Walls may comprise a filter screen, perforated plate, sintered plate, fleece or a filtering bag. Wall orifices are 0.2-2mm, preferably 1-1.5mm in diameter. The walls may be attached to a longitudinal support with side cheeks which form a container for holding additives(7). Openings in the wall ends connect the container with a mandrel at the end of the mixing section. In an alternative design the chamber may be formed by a tubular section connected to the tubular housing and outlet. Filtering walls are incorporated at each end of the tubular section. Connection between the tubular housing and tubular section can be by plug, screw, bayonet or clamping methods. The tubular section and tubular housing may alternatively comprise a single component. A mixing element in the tubular section may carry additives to be mixed into the fluids on its surfaces or may be made of the additive. Mixing is effected by the flow energy of the fluid components under pressure in the mixer. Mixing elements are fixed to prevent rotation. The tubular housing, tube section, mixing elements and walls can be of glass, plastic and/or metal.

Abstract: A scanning imaging apparatus comprises an optical system including a curved polariser/reflector, a rotatable reflector, a polarisation twisting plate, and a receiver array, wherein a convex reflective element is incorporated in the optical path that acts as a sub-reflector that increases the optical system focal length. It has been found that an increase to the optical focal length in this manner gives a greater 3 dB spot size at the image plane, thus easing design constraints on the receiver array packing density, whilst maintaining a given spatial sampling interval. An additional benefit is that radiation from differing scan locations diverges as it approaches the image plane, which provides more volume in which to position receiver electronics. Focussing of the optical system may be achieved by movement of the sub-reflector.

Abstract: A system for making agglomerates from material like wet chopped glass fiber strand segments is disclosed. Agglomerates, made by feeding wet chopped fiber strand segments into a wave chamber having a vibrating curved surface supporting a curved, dimpled liner working surface have improved density and flow characteristics compared with dry chopped strands, but it was discovered that the dimpled liner flexes during operation during vibration causing undesirable variation in properties like agglomerate size. In the invention the dimpled liner is backed up with a substantially non-compressible material and this results in agglomerates that have even better uniformity of flow and agglomerate diameters. Typical backing materials include a particulate material, an elastomer, a rigidized elastomer, slurry or liquid, or wire or slivers of metal.
