Abstract: The present invention provides methods of making sticky powder comprising mixing one or more resin or (co)polymer powders in one or more mixing devices without agglomerating the powders and while measuring the power, work or torque drawn by the mixing devices, the mixing continuing until the measure of the power or torque drawn indicates that the powders have become sticky. The mixing further comprises adding to the powders one or more dry materials and mixing to so that the dry materials adhere or "bond" to the sticky powders. Alternatively, the methods further comprise slowing or stopping the mixing, or cooling while mixing once the said sticky powders have been formed, adding one or more dry materials to form a sticky powder mixture, and further mixing to bond the sticky powders and the dry materials together. The dry materials may comprise one or more flake materials, e.g. metallic flakes; layered pigments, clays, catalysts or antimicrobials; resins or (co)polymers; cyroprocessed materials, and materials encapsulated or dispersed in brittle materials. The methods may be automated.

Abstract: Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren und Anlage zur optimierten Herstellung von Schaumstoff in einem kontinuierlichen Blockschaumprozess mit folgenden Schritten: 
- Erfassung des Ist-Schaumhöhenprofils quer zur Förderrichtung, 
- Bestimmung einer Stellgröße für den Blockschaumprozess in Abhängigkeit von einer Abweichung des Ist-Schaumhöhenprofils von einem Soll-Schaumhöhenprofil. 
Der expandierte Schaum (4) wird seitlich durch das Seitenpapier (8) und die Schäumkanalwand (7) begrenzt. Oberhalb des Abdeckpapiers (5) befindet sich das Abdeckgewicht (9). Das Abdeckgewicht (9) wird in einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform durch ein Kontergewicht (10) eingestellt. Das Kontergewicht (10) ist über ein Führungsrollensystem (11) und einem Seilzug (12) mit dem Abdeckgewicht (9) verbunden. 
Quer zur Förderrichtung sind Sensoren (13,14,15,16 und 17) angeordnet. Beispielsweise dient der Sensor (13) dazu, die Schaumhöhe (18) des Schaumstoffs durch Messung des Abstandes (19) zwischen dem Sensor (13) und der Oberfläche des expandierenden Schaums (4) zu bestimmen. Entsprechend werden mittels der Sensoren (14,15,16 und 17) die Schaumhöhen (20,21,22 bzw. 23) ermittelt. 
Die Sensoren (13,14,15,16 und 17) sind jeweils mit einem Bussystem (24) verbunden. Das Bussystem (24) ist mit einem Regler (25) verbunden. Über das Bussystem (24) erhält der Regler (25) die Messsignale der Sensoren (13,14,15,16 und 17). Aufgrund dieser Messsignale ermittelt der Regler (25) eine Stellgröße zur Nachregelung des Blockschaumprozesses. Beispielsweise dient als Stellgröße das Gewicht der Abdeckung (9) und/oder die Geschwindigkeit des Transportbands (1) und/oder die pro Zeiteinheit über den Mischkopf (3) zugeführte Menge des reaktiven chemischen Systems und/oder die chemische Zusammensetzung des Systems.

Abstract: There is provided an image processing apparatus, an image display and an image processing method which are capable of preventing an unnatural change in image quality due to image processing. A luminance distribution detecting circuit detects a luminance distribution as the histogram distribution of YUV signals. A gain limiter levels out by limiting the frequency of the luminance histogram to a frequency threshold or less so as to reduce the concentration of the distribution on a specific luminance level segment. Then, a γ correction circuit in the image processing section performs image processing (contrast control) on the YUV signals through the use of the luminance distribution leveled out.
