Abstract: A collector for use in removing metal ions from a plasma in a vacuum
chamber includes a collector plate that is mounted inside the chamber and
formed with an internal cooling channel. An injector introduces a dissociated
salt into the chamber with a first throughput value, and it introduces a plasma
including metal ions into the chamber with a lower second throughput value.
A pump is used to pump a liquid coolant through the cooling channel to
maintain the collector plate at a temperature that forms a portion of the salt as
a protective layer on the collector plate, and causes the salt to thereafter
deposit on the layer in a molten condition at a faster rate than evaporation
therefrom to trap metal ions therein. The trapped metal ions are then
removed with the molten salt from the chamber.

Abstract: This invention relates to organic electroluminescent elemental devices (organic EL devices) of
excellent durability and to organic EL materials useful for such organic EL devices. The organic EL
material of this invention comprises a tertiary amine containing 2 to 4 nitrogen atoms each forming a
triarylamine wherein the organic electroluminescent material comprises 1 wt.% or less of impurity
compounds (A) possessing one less nitrogen atom forming a triarylamine group than said tertiary aryl
amine compound and/or 2 wt.% or less of impurity compounds (B) possessing one more nitrogen atom
forming a diarylamino group than said tertiary aryl amine compound. The organic electrominescent
material can be used in an organic EL device. Some of such tertiary aryl amines are selected from
compounds represented by 
(Ar 1 Ar 2  N-) 2 -Ar 3 , (Ar 1 Ar 2 N- Ar 3 -) 3 -N, (Ar 1 Ar 2 N- Ar 3 -)  2 -N-Ar 4  and (Ar 1 Ar 2  N-)  4 -Ar 5

Abstract: Systems and methods for encoding and decoding document images are disclosed.
Document images are segmented into multiple layers according to a mask. The multiple
layers are non-binary. The respective layers can then be processed and compressed
separately in order to achieve better compression of the document image overall. A mask
is generated from a document image. The mask is generated so as to reduce an estimate
of compression for the combined size of the mask and multiple layers of the document
image. The mask is then employed to segment the document image into the multiple
layers. The mask determines or allocates pixels of the document image into respective
layers. The mask and the multiple layers are processed and encoded separately so as to
improve compression of the document image overall and to improve the speed of so
doing. The multiple layers are non-binary images and can, for example, comprise a
foreground image and a background image.
