Patent NO-20014358-D0 (NO)
Inventor: SHERMAN JEFFREY H
IPC: C10G19/04
Filed: 2001-09-07
Abstract: In a method of removing acidic compounds, color, and polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons, and for removing or converting hydrocarbons containing heteroatoms from petroleum distillates, phase transfer catalyst is employed to facilitate the transfer of inorganic or organic bases to the substrate of the distillate. An inorganic or organic base, a phase transfer catalyst selected from the group including quaternary ammonium salts, polyol ethers and crown ethers, and used oil distillate are mixed and heated. Thereafter, contaminants are removed from the used oil distillate through distillation. A solvent is then mixed with the resulting distillate to extract contaminants therefrom. The solvent is recovered and distilled to separate the contaminants therefrom, and is then reused. The petroleum distillate having the contaminants separated therefrom is also distilled to remove any remaining solvent therefrom, with the recovered solvent being reused.

Title: Auto-focus image system
Filed: 2010-12-07
Abstract: An auto-focus image system includes a focus signal generator and a pixel array coupled thereto that captures an image that includes a plurality of edges. The generator computes a focus signal from a plurality of edge-sharpness measures, each measured from and contributed by a different edge as a quantity with a unit that is a power of a unit of length, such as a distance in the edge, an area, or an even-order central moment. A relative weight of the contribution by an edge is reduced depending on at least a pair of shape measures, each being computed from a plurality of sample-pair differences of the edge. One may be the edge-sharpness measure. The weight may be zero if the pair of shape measures falls outside a predetermined region.

Title: Payment system
Filed: 2011-04-05
Abstract: Methods, apparatus and computer software are provided for authorizing an EMV transaction between a user device and a point of sale terminal, particularly, but not exclusively, in situations where a secure element is not made available for the deployment of a payment application on the user device. The payment application is instead deployed to a processing environment that is outside of any secure element on the user device. An ICC Master Key corresponding to the payment application is held by a trusted authority, such as the issuing bank. The trusted authority is adapted generate time-limited session keys on the basis of the ICC Master Key and distribute session keys to the payment application. Receipt of a session key by the payment application enables the payment application to conduct an EMV payment transaction. The session key is used to authorize a single EMV payment transaction.

Title: Computer generated display of images of simulated objects on a video display device
Inventor: GILHAM ARTHUR WILLIAM STEWARD
IPC: G09G1/16
Filed: 1979-06-08
Granted: 1983-03-17
Abstract: Electronic generation of the display is accomplished by a system which includes a host computer, a plurality of object generators, and related circuitry. Each object generator contains a memory which stores the image of an object which may be displayed on the video display. The host computer assigns locations in the scene to the objects of each object generator. Each object generator includes its own microprocessor which performs calculations based on its own object information and position and range information received from the host computer to provide appropriate video signals for the display. The related circuitry of the system includes a blanking and count generator which provides signals whereby the color video information from the object generator is displayed on the video display and it also establishes times for permitting updating of the information between the host computer and the object generators. Further features include a priority chain linking the object generators which, if an overlap situation occurs where more than one object generator is calling for its information to be displayed in the same location on the video display, the object which has been assigned a higher priority, indicating that it is at a closer range than others, has its overlap information displayed on the video display instead of those of lower priority. Another feature is the data compression scheme employed to store the object image in each object generator.

Title: Shock absorber arrangement for mounting delicate equipment
Inventor: GRONGSTAD ODDVAR
IPC: F16F15/04
Filed: 1980-02-13
Granted: 1983-07-21
Abstract: Delicate equipment is mounted on a carrier such as a vessel or a vehicle by means of shock absorbers which are spring biased to an accurately defined position in which the equipment is rigidly fastened to the carrier. When the carrier is subjected to a shock force exceeding the biasing of the shock absorbers, the rigid connection is released and the equipment thus protected against damaging forces. Each shock absorber has a single compression spring which is compressed by an axial force on the shock absorber regardless of the direction of the force. At least three parallel, vertical shock absorbers carry the equipment. Horizontal shocks are absorbed due to the tilting movement of the equipment relative to the shock absorbers, which are thus subjected to vertical movements in opposite directions.
