Abstract: Integrated light-emitting diode (LED) devices with increased pixel fill factor for achieving improved image quality of LED display panels formed therewith are disclosed. Included in multiple embodiments of the LED devices of the present invention are optical components, such as reflectors, light pipes, and/or various optical lenses, in combination with an LED. The optical components provide a broadening effect of the light beam that is emitted by the LED, which is a point source. As a result, as compared with a display that is formed by an array of standard LEDs, a display that is formed by an array of any of the LED devices of the present invention provides an increase in the perceived pixel fill factor and, thus, provides an LED display with improved image quality. Additionally, the use of the LED devices of the present invention allows a low resolution LED display to be formed at a reasonable cost, while still providing high image quality.

Abstract: The assembly to enrich a fluid with gas, and especially aerate water with oxygen, has a gas supply with a pressure control and a treatment chamber (1) where the water flows through. At least one spray jet (2) is within the chamber opening in relation to the flow direction (r), and a gas feed (3). The oxygen is ripped out of the jet by the water flow, forming a mist at the jet. Fluid pressure controls are outside the chamber, to give an overpressure at the fluid inflow (5) and outflow (6), giving a higher pressure of at least 50 kPa at the inflow than at the outflow and at least 50 kPa lower than the pressure at least at one gas outflow opening (7) of the gas feed.

Abstract: A method for generating an output image by reducing the size of an input image by determining for a pixel location (i,j) in the output image a corresponding area xy  in the input image, fetching the input image area xy  pixel values, calculating an output pixel value D ij  for the pixel location (i,j) using a size reducing algorithm, inserting D ij  in the output image and repeating the previous steps for each pixel location (i,j) in the output image. The value Di,j is obtained by adding to the lower resolution background representation A of the input image area pixel values with a value obtained by amplifying MED, representing the pixel value in the input image area that most deviates from said lower resolution background representation A, by means of a significance factor SF.

Title: Windmill artifact reduction in multi-slice ct reconstruction
Inventor: SHECHTER GILAD
IPC: G06T11/00
Filed: 2005-01-06
Abstract: A cone or wedge-beam CT scanner (10) generates image data which is potentially artifacted with windmill artifacts which appear to emanate from one or more windmill artifact centers (48). The image data is high-pass filtered (42), and reconstructed (44) to generate an image representation (46) which depicts the windmill artifact centers (48), and a background field (54). A forward projection processor (66) forward projects this image representation to identify data trajectories or rays (60, 62, 64) which pass through a windmill artifact center, a penumbra, or only through the field. Each element of image data is filtered both with a resolution sharpening filter (70) and with a smoothing filter (72). The sharpened and the smoothed data values corresponding to a common ray are weightedly combined (74) in accordance with whether the corresponding common ray passes through a windmill artifact center or only through the field. The weightedly combined filtered data values are reconstructed (66) into an image representation.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un appareil (10) qui repose sur le fond de la mer, en un endroit situé en-dessous du niveau de la mer, et permet de capturer l'énergie des vagues. Cet appareil (10) comprend une structure de corps (11) qui présente un diaphragme (25) conçu pour fléchir en réponse à une action des vagues. Une chambre de travail (27) se trouve immédiatement en-dessous du diaphragme (25) et contient un fluide compressible, tel que de l'air. Un système de pompe (43) est logé dans cette chambre de travail (27) et comprend deux pompes à mouvement alternatif (45, 47) qui fonctionnent en opposition. Les pompes (45, 47) sont reliées de manière opérationnelle au diaphragme (25) par un mécanisme à levier (61). De par la géométrie de ce mécanisme à levier (61), la longueur de course de chaque pompe (45, 47) est inférieure à l'amplitude de déplacement du diaphragme (25) lorsqu'il se déplace en réponse à une action des vagues. Ainsi, le mécanisme à levier (61) augmente la force s'exerçant sur chaque pompe (45, 47) d'un taux donné et réduit la course de chaque pompe du même taux. La réduction de la longueur de course permet une construction compacte, de manière que les pompes (45, 47) peuvent facilement être logées dans la chambre de travail (27). Les pompes (45, 47) tirent de l'eau de mer de l'environnement autour de l'appareil (10) et déchargent l'eau de mer sous haute pression. L'eau de mer sous haute pression produite par les pompes peut être transférée jusqu'au rivage afin d'être utilisée dans n'importe quelle application adaptée.
