Patent EP-1552225-A1 (EP)
Inventor: LONG NORRIS RICHARD
IPC: F24H1/06
Filed: 2003-07-25
Abstract: A portable instant water heater. Water is delivered to a base unit (22) of the instant hot water heater by a pump (26) that draws water from a reservoir (28) through a flow control valve (90). The water flows into a pre-heater (74) that wraps around a base of the burner and that is heated by the burner (52). Water is heated in a heat exchanger (82) and then exits the bare unit through an outlet spout that swings out from the base unit to dispense water and that may be stored and locked into position in a handle for the base unit. The flow control valve (90) may lower the flow of water through the heat exchanger, so the water has more time to absorb heat and to get hotter. The base unit includes a single control knob (44) that turns an the pump (26) and the burner (52) and operates the flow control valve (90).

Abstract: A hair depilating device having a plucking assembly comprising at least two hubs, each accomodating at least one radially-extending swivel element mounted on the hub via a pin radially extending from the wall of the hub. The sidewall of the hub further includes a pinch plate, which projects radially outwardly therefrom. The radially-extending swivel element and pinch plate of a neighboring disc-like assembly define a V-shaped hair trap. The other side of the pinch plate forms a second V-shaped hair trap with a radial extension swivel element of a third opposing neighboring disc-like assembly. The opposing edges of the hair-traps at the rear end meet first, and only afterwards is the entire trap closed. This design provides a substantially reduced rotational closure distance, traveled by the hair-trap elements from the instant the trap begins to close until full trap closure. The trap closing displacement required for closure is also greatly reduced and more hairs are trapped and the plucking efficiency increased.

Abstract: Cette technique permettant de déterminer une caractéristique dépendant de la polarisation d'un appareil optique à l'essai (10), ayant au moins une entrée et une sortie, consiste à créer un signal d'excitation (4) et à l'appliquer à chaque unité de polarisation  (27a, 29b, 127c, 129d), à régler chacun de ces signaux d'excitation sur un seul état de polarisation, à attacher une partie d'identification des caractéristiques (27, 29, 127, 129) à chaque entrée et/ou aux signaux polarisés, à appliquer le signal d'excitation à l'appareil à l'essai (10) afin d'obtenir un signal de réponse de l'appareil à l'essai, à recevoir et à identifier (44, 52), grâce à ce signal de réponse, chacune des parties d'identification de caractéristiques pour assurer le suivi de chaque signal d'excitation polarisé dans le signal de réponse, puis à dériver une caractéristique dépendant de la polarisation de l'appareil à l'essai grâce au suivi des signaux d'excitation polarisés. Cette technique permet d'obtenir des mesures de la perte dépendant de la polarisation dans un envoi de signal d'excitation. On utilise, pour effectuer ces mesures, des coupleurs (105, 135). Il en va de même pour la mesure de la dispersion en mode polarisation.

Abstract: A method of removing blocking artifacts from block-coded
digital images and an image reproducing apparatus
using the same remove blocking artifacts from a block-coded
digital image. The method includes adjusting
filtering offsets on a block-by-block basis using motion
vector (MV) and quantization parameter (QP) values; and
performing deblocking filtering to remove the blocking
artifacts from a decoded digital image using the adjusted
filtering offsets. Accordingly, since the filtering
offsets may be adaptively adjusted on a block-by-block
basis to fit image characteristics, the blocking artifacts
may be efficiently removed, thus, improving image quality.
