IPC: H04N5/265
Filed: 1994-04-18
Abstract: The invention improves over the prior art by providing a media pipeline with two channels
(50, 52) for processing sequences of digital still images. A blender (54) is provided so as
to enable simple effects on these two streams of video data such as dissolves, wipes and
chroma keys. Complex arbitrary three-dimensional effects and other effects may also be
provided using an external interface. Thus, a system for processing sequences of digital
still images to provide real-time digital video effects includes first (50) and second (51)
channels for communicating first and second sequences of digital still images at a rate for
simulating video. A controller directs still images to one of the first and second channels.
A blender (54), having a first input connected to the first channel, a second input
connected to the second channel, and an output, provides a combination of the first and
second sequences of digital still images at a rate for simulating video.

Abstract: An automated sequential reaction system that can be used to either sequentially produce a
plurality of different products each requiring a single reaction, or to produce a desired
product that requires a series of sequential reactions. A system controller controls an
automated reactant supply, a solvent supply, a reaction module, a detector, and a product
collector. Prior to initiating any reaction, the system is flushed with solvent and a heat
exchanger supplies the reaction module with a temperature-conditioned fluid to maintain the
reaction module at a desired temperature. For single reactions, a plurality of reactants are
injected into a chemical reactor included in the reaction module. As fluid exits the chemical
reactor, the detector determines if the fluid is a desired chemical product or solvent, and
routes the fluid to the appropriate receptacle. Once a predetermined volume of a desired
product is obtained, the system is flushed with solvent, and a different set of reactants are
injected into the chemical reactor to produce the next desired product. The process is
repeated until a substance library of the desired products is obtained. For products requiring
sequential reaction steps, either a plurality of reactors are employed, or an intermediate
product produced by a previous reaction is reintroduced into the reaction module with an
appropriate reactant to complete the next sequential reaction.

formed on the second substrate to intersect the data
electrodes (12), and a discharge voltage is to be applied
across them. Intersections of the pair of sustain
discharge electrodes and data electrodes (12) form
matrix-like discharge cells (100). Stepped partitions (20) are
formed at a predetermined interval on the first
substrate (11) in a direction intersecting the linear
partitions (30), and have heights smaller than those of the
linear partitions (30). Notched openings (301) are formed in the

Abstract: A turbine (16) includes three rows of airfoils (22 -28) which receive in sequence
hot combustion gases during operation. The third row airfoils (26, 28) are
clocked circumferentially relative to the first row airfoils (22, 24) for bathing the

Abstract: Beschrieben wird ein Verfahren zur Regelung eines elektrografischen Druck- oder Kopierprozesses, bei dem zu druckende Informationen als Tonerzwischenbild auf einem Zwischenbildträger (4, 122a, 130a, 136, 144a) erzeugt werden und später in einer Umdruckzone (5, 132, 146) von einer Umdruck-Oberfläche (130a, 144a) auf einen Aufzeichnungsträger (2, 114a) übertragen werden. Dabei wird auf einem elektrografischen Zwischenbildträger (4, 130a, 144a) eine Tonermarke erzeugt, die Tonermarke auf dem Zwischenbildträger (4, 122a, 136) zumindest bereichsweise abgetastet und die Tonermarke anschliessend vom Zwischenbildträger (4, 122a, 136) wieder entfernt. Mit dem gemessenen Wert wird die Tonerkonzentration in einer Entwicklerstation (8) geregelt. Der Übertrag des Tonerzwischenbilds von der Umdruck-Oberfläche (130a, 144a) auf den Aufzeichnungsträger (2, 114a) wird im Zeitraum zwischen der Erzeugung und der Entfernung der Tonermarke zumindest zeitweise verhindert. Es sind somit zwei Betriebszustände vorgesehen, im ersten Betriebszustand we rden Werte für eine Tonerkonzentrationsregelung ermittelt. Im zweiten Betriebszustand wird gedruckt. Während im zweiten Betriebszustand elektrografische Parameter benutzerspezifisch eingestellt werden, beispielsweise das Ladepotential eines Fotoleiters oder einer Entwicklerwalze um benutzerspezifische Kontrasteinstellungen vorzunehmen, werden diese Parameter im ersten Betriebszustand automatisch durch eine Steuerung auf vorgegebene Werte eingestellt, mit denen die Einstellung der Einfärbung erfolgt.
