Title: Electronically controllable and testable turbine trip system
Inventor: NATILI RICHARD PETER JR
IPC: F01D21/18
Filed: 2006-04-19
Abstract: A tripping control system for e.g. turbines includes a block circuit A having two or more blocking valves 440, 470 in series for blocking a pressure supply line 150a-150b with redundancy and a bleed circuit B having pairs of series mounted bleed valves 230,280 240,260 250, 270 connected in parallel between the supply line and a return line to bleed pressure from the supply line. The bleed valves are operated in non-series pairs by control valves 292-294 to provide voting redundancy under control of a safety controller which initiates a trip by performing a bleed function which causes the block function to operate. Pressure sensors 300, 310, 320, 480 provide feedback and allow the controller to test the valves which are connected such that any one parallel pair can be tested without causing a turbine trip and without preventing the turbine from being tripped.

Title: Generating a depth map using both focal and zoom data
Inventor: NIEM WOLFGANG
IPC: H04N5/225
Filed: 2006-07-04
Abstract: In a method and an arrangement for generating a depth map, a scene is recorded with plural mutually different video camera focal settings F, scanning stepwise through the depth of the scene, and the depth corresponding to the respective focal setting is allocated to image components respectively recorded in-focus with a focal setting, producing a first depth map. The scene is also recorded repeatedly, respectively with different zoom Z settings, and the depth of the respective image component is calculated from the geometrical changes of image components, producing a second depth map. A combined depth map is formed from the two depth maps, producing an image depth map, e.g. for use in security monitoring or three dimensional (3D) imaging. Depth maps may be combined and averaged using an IIR filter. High confidence ratings may be attributed to locally corresponding image components with similar depths in the first and second depth maps, with low confidence for deviating image features.
