Patent EP-0384690-A1 (EP)
Inventor: ROBINSON MICHAEL
IPC: B08B9/093
Filed: 1990-02-20
Abstract: A washer is described for cleaning the interiors of tanks that hold milk, beer, chemicals and so on. A main body 2 reciprocates relative to a substantially surrounded and relatively fixed piston 19. The body 2 oscillatably supports three nozzles 7 each of which is movable through an arc of 60° and which arc is angularly spaced from those corresponding to the other two nozzles 7 by further angles of 60°. However, the body 2 and nozzles 7 are also indexed, during operation, in steps, around a further axis which is perpendicular to the axis of oscillation and which substantially corresponds to the longitudinal axis of the tank washer itself. Thus, each nozzle 7 cleans not only on arc of 60° but rotates that arc through 360° so that the whole of the interior of a tank is both washed and subsequently rinsed by the three nozzles 7.

Abstract: A method of simulating airbrushing of an image electronically comprises generating a set of pixel values from a stored set. The pixels define the area of an airbrush and the colour content is modified by selecting sets in sequence, then combining the image pixel content with the pixel value and a unit amount of brush colour. The pixel values are generated by dividing the sequence into sets and recording the number of occurrences of each pixel coordinate in a set. The brush may be a single colour or contain pixels of many different colours when defined by another image.
