IPC: F16K31/56
Filed: 1999-10-14
Abstract: A first pre-tensioned, guided surface (1) acts against at least one roller (2) with a force (P), and the roller transfers this force to a second surface (3) movable concentric or parallel to the first surface.  During movement of the second surface the roller rolls over both surfaces until it stops in an edge zone of the first surface, where the parallelity is translated into divergence achieved exclusively with roller friction. The divergence becomes greater than the roller friction, so that the roller is ejected and the two surfaces move towards each other. Movement of the first surface towards a counter-surface or the second surface actuates the release mechanism.  Independent claims are also included for (a) the use of the release mechanism method in fire extinguishers used to put out dust and/or gas explosions, as well as fires in industrial installations, and (b) the release mechanism.

Inventor: KOHN MICHAEL
IPC: H04N9/11
Filed: 1999-03-18
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for analysing images and for correcting the values of video signals during the processing of video films. According to this method, the analysis of the video signal values (R, G, B) is used for determining the analysis values related to the outline, the gradation and the undertone of individual images in the video film, and the correction of the video signal values (R, G, B) is performed according to these analysis values. The values of the video signals (R, G, B) of a first chromatic space are first converted using a three-dimensional conversion function [(L, a, b = f (R, G, B)] into values of video signals (L, a, b) of a second chromatic space which is independent from the first one and gives the impression to be at the same distance. At least one analysis value is determined according to the converted video-signal values (L, a, b) for each individual image in a video sequence comprising a plurality of individual images. At least one analysis value which is representative of the video sequence is obtained by calculating an average value from the corresponding analysis values of the individual images in the video sequence.
