Abstract: Picture quality degradation which occurs in a
miniaturized image pick-up lens can be favorably corrected
when image pick-up of a color picture is performed by
providing an optical color filter on an image pickup surface
of one piece of image pickup device. 
     Through an image pick-up lens 1, image light is focused
on an image pickup surface of an image pickup unit 2 for which
a checkerboard shaped primary color filter is provided. An
electrical signal taken out from the image pickup unit 2 is
supplied to an A/D conversion circuit 3 to be converted into
raw data of each primary color and is supplied to a first
camera signal processing circuit 61 without any change. In the
first camera signal processing circuit 61, only basic video
signal processing such as, for example, gamma-correction or
the like is performed. Then, the raw data of each primary
color processed in the first camera signal processing circuit
61 is stored in a picture memory 4. Further, the raw data of
each primary color stored in the picture memory 4 is supplied
to a magnification-reduction circuit 94 functioning as a first
resolution conversion processing circuit for correcting the
chromatic aberration of a lens.

Abstract: A simultaneous dual polarization radar system is disclosed that utilizes a RF power divider (21) to replace the high speed dual polarization switches (17) utilized in current dual polarization radar systems. The disclosed systems allow for transmission and reception in both horizontal and vertical signal modes simultaneously while repositioning critical receiver components (37, 38, 24) above the elevation rotary coupler (34) in a radar pedestal (16). A bypass switch (25a,b) is also utilized to allow for mode switching of a radar system and a dual polarization reception design (55) is disclosed to allow for the economical capturing of linear depolarization ratios of selected atmospheric areas, These new designs eliminate the current problems experienced in current dual polarization radar system of long dwell times and velocity range reductions, and the elimination of the relatively expensive and unreliable polarization switch (17).

Abstract: The crude (meth)acrylic acid for purification is subjected to treatment in an absorption column supplied with a heavy solvent, then passed to a rectification column functioning without reflux. The crude (meth)acrylic acid obtained from an oxidation process comprises, in addition, mainly a mixture of propane and/or propylene or isobutane and/or isobutene, (meth)acrolein, tertiary butyl alcohol, water vapor, acetic acid , acrylic acid and heavy products from secondary reactions. The mixture is directed to the base of an absorption column supplied counter-currently with a heavy hydrophobic solvent. From the base of this column is obtained a flow comprising (meth)acrylic acid, the absorption solvent, heavy products and minor amounts of acetic acid, acrylic acid and water. This is then directed to a separation column from which is obtained a head product comprising light impurities, recycled to the lower part of the absorption column, and from the base a mixture of (meth)acrylic acid in the absorption solvent, small amounts of acetic and acrylic acids, heavy products and polymerisation inhibitors. The first column functions with a solvent flow rate of 3 - 5.6 times the flow rate of (meth)acrylic acid in the gaseous mixture .The second column comprises a rectification column functioning with a head supply and without reflux.

Abstract: An implementation of a technology is described herein for deriving robust
non-local characteristics and quantizing such characteristics for blind
watermarking of a digital good. This technology finds the proper balance between
minimizing the probability of false alarms (i.e., detecting a non-existent
watermark) and the probability of misses (i.e., failing to detect an existing
watermark). The technology, described herein, performs quantization index
modulation (QIM) based upon non-local characteristics of the digital good. Non-local
characteristics may include statistics (e.g., averages, median) of a group of
individual parts (e.g., pixels) of a digital good. This abstract itself is not intended
to limit the scope of this patent. The scope of the present invention is pointed out
in the appending claims.

Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide
a liquid applying apparatus which can prevent an applying
liquid from evaporating while an applying operation is at
a stop and which can reliably prevent the liquid from leaking
even when for example, the posture of the apparatus is tilted.
Thus, according to the present invention, an abutting member
(2009) of a holding member (2003) is abutted, under an
urging force of a spring (2006), against an applying surface
of an applying roller (1001). Thus, a liquid holding space
(S) is formed between the applying roller (1001) and a
holding member (2001) to hold the applying liquid. The
abutting member (2010) is annularly formed of a single member.
The applying roller (1001) rotates to cause the applying
liquid held in the holding space (S) to adhere to an outer
peripheral surface of the applying roller (2001). The
applying liquid is then applied to the applying medium (P).

Abstract: An improved network protocol for mitigating network amplification attacks is
provided. The absolute network load that any transient distributed attack can cause is
bounded based on a resource crediting scheme. The protocol accumulates "credit" upon
reception and detection of candidate attack request packets, and draws against that credit
when transmitting responsive packets. In some implementations, the time frame of such
an attack is also bounded using time limits applied to a resource crediting scheme. Other
resources may also be bounded by the resource crediting scheme, including without
limitation CPU utilization, storage capacity, power, etc.
