Abstract: A method and device for tracking a region-of-interest in a sequence of image frames, wherein the boundary of the target region of a previous frame is projected onto the current frame so that a search area in the current frame can be established. For every pixel in the search area in the current frame, a search window is established in the previous frame so as to find a matched pixel within the search window. If the matched pixel is within the ROI of the previous frame, then the corresponding pixel in the current frame is preliminarily considered as a pixel within the ROI of the current frame. This backward matching is carried out using a low pass subband in the wavelet domain. The preliminary ROI in the current frame is then refined using edge detection in a high frequency subband.

Abstract: A tool for gripping the circumferential outer surface of a pipe or rod and comprising a pair of diametrically opposed arcuate shoes each with a ball cage having a plurality of balls retained by the cage. The shoes have ramped surfaces upon which the balls will run so that when the shoes are rotated about the central longitudinal axis of the pipe or rod the balls become trapped between the ramp surfaces and the surface of the pipe or rod, to grip same. Reverse rotation releases the tool. The rolling action imposed by the balls on the pipe or rod, whilst gripping same, avoids the creation of sharp burrs on the surface of the pipe or rod thus helping to prevent corrosion.

Abstract: A one-and-a-half layer monofilament fabric for use as a low-caliper seamed press fabric on a papermaking machine. The fabric is endless woven with seaming loops formed by adjacent unstacked MD wefts. The seaming loops are oriented perpendicular to the plane of the base fabric for easier connection and seaming. When the fabric is placed under load, the loops collapse back to produce a seam area having the same low caliper as the base fabric. Further, this unstacked fabric structure produces a larger web cake than other fabrics having a similar caliper.

Abstract: Television systems comprising tuners (1), controllers (2) for controlling tuners (1), and stages (3) for receiving tuned signals from tuners (1) and for supplying control signals to controllers (2), use time-consuming automatic fine tuning signals while high speed tuning. By using lock signals (53) from phase-locked-loops (31) in stages (3) as control signals, an indication whether a channel is active or not can now be got much quicker due to lock signals being much faster available than automatic fine tuning signals. By using synchronization signals (54) from synchronization generators (4) as further control signals, a further indication is got. In a fast tuning mode, frequencies nearby active channels are detected, and in a fine tuning mode, channel frequencies are identified. According to the basic idea, lock signals originating from phase-locked-loops (31) in stages (3) can give first indications whether a channel is active or not, preferably and further advantageously in combination with second indications based upon synchronization signals (54).

Abstract: An improved process for crosslinking a polyolefin polymer is described. The process involves grafting a silane material onto the polyolefin based polymer in the presence of a free radical generating initiator material and then hydrolyzing the silane material to form crosslinks. By using an effective molar ratio of silane material to free radical of 40 or greater in the grafting reaction, premature crosslinking is controlled and the grafted polymer can be shaped first and then crosslinked. In another aspect of the invention, the crosslinking process is improved by adding a catalyst for the hydrolysis catalyst to the surface of a shaped article made from the grafted polymer. Grafted polymer and articles made from the grafted polymer, particularly fibers, are also disclosed.
