Abstract: The invention concerns a method whereby when the tyre reaches a wear threshold level, acoustic wear indicators emit a sound signal by coming into contact with the ground. Magnetic, optical and mechanical embodiments are also disclosed. A detector consisting of a microphone placed beneath the vehicle and a processing unit switches on an indicator placed in the instrument panel. In a more sophisticated version, the detector by matching the acoustic signal phase with the ABS data, identifies the tyre concerned. The invention is useful for detecting tyre deterioration, or that of any other type of surface such as pads, and the like, and for detecting the presence of snow chains or nails.

Abstract: The present invention provides processes for making a bimodal solid polymer composition suitable for use as a viscosity index improver. Ethylene and an alpha-olefin comonomer are polymerized in the presence of a metallocene catalyst to form first and second copolymers, in series or parallel reactors, which are combined to form an intimate blend of relatively high and relatively low ethylene content copolymers in the solvent use. The composition can be further grafted and derivatized to provide a viscosity index improver, the composition being produced directly with the correct viscosity, without the need for additional blending, shearing or masticating steps.

Abstract: A tone correction system, method and interface is described in which a digital image is initially filtered to obtain a corresponding locally averaged value for each pixel value of the image. The image is optimally filtered using a cone-type filter having a small filter radius and which favorably weights the center pixel values of the radius. Shadow and highlight values are obtained from selected shadow and highlight functions, respectively, using the locally averaged values. A tone function is derived from each of the shadow an highlight values for each pixel. Each pixel value of the image is then remapped according to its derived shadow and highlight tone functions. The tone corrected image can be reinteratively corrected by adjusting parameters of the shadow and highlight functions and remapping the image data until a desired image quality is achieved.

Abstract: A method of determining an amount of at least one molecular specie comprising a sample is provided, each molecular specie being indicated by a dye. The amount of the molecular specie is determined from an image of the sample captured as image data by a color image acquisition device in a video-microscopy system. An optical density of the sample is first determined in each of a red, green, and blue channel at a particular pixel in the image. A corresponding optical density matrix is thereafter formed for that pixel. The optical density matrix is then multiplied by the inverse of a relative absorption coefficient matrix so as to form a resultant matrix for the pixel. The relative absorption coefficient matrix comprises a relative absorption coefficient for each dye, independently of the sample, in each of the red, green, and blue channels. The resultant matrix thus comprises the amount of each molecular specie, as indicated by the respective dye, for that pixel. Associated systems and computer software program products are also provided.
