Title: Process and apparatus for producing nitrogen of ultra-high purity
IPC: F25J3/04
Filed: 1992-06-18
Abstract: Air is rectified in a rectification column 24 to produce at its top a gaseous nitrogen fraction relatively to produce a rich in light elements, such as neon, helium and hydrogen. A stream of this gaseous fraction is then partially condensed within a condenser 32 and separated into liquid and vapour phase within a phase separator 48. The liquid phase is lean in the light elements and the vapour phase is rich in the light elements. The liquid phase is removed from the bottom of the phase separator 48 and is introduced into the column 24 as reflux. As the reflux descends from tray to tray it is stripped of light elements. A product stream containing ultra-high purity nitrogen is withdrawn as a liquid stream 62 from the column 24 after suitable stripping of the reflux. The product stream 62 can be further purified by stripping within a stripper column 68. <IMAGE>

Title: Method and appartus for encoding a video signal using feature point based motion estimation
Inventor: JUNG HAE MOOK
IPC: H04N19/46
Filed: 1995-05-06
Abstract: An apparatus for encoding a digital video signal to reduce a transmission rate of the digital video signal, which comprises a feature point based motion compensation circuit for selecting a set of feature points from the reconstructed reference frame to detect a set of motion vectors between a current frame and a original reference frame corresponding to the set of feature points by using a feature point based motion estimation, and for generating a second predicted frame based on the set of motion vectors and the reconstructed reference frame. The feature point based motion estimation employs a convergence process in which a displacement of each of the feature points are given to a motion vector thereof and the six triangles of each of the hexagon are affine-transformed independently using the displacements of their vertex feature points. If the displacements provide a better PSNR, the motion vector of the subject feature point is sequentially updated. Therefore, the inventive convergence process is very efficient in the matching process to determine the predicted image as close as possible to the original image having zooming, rotation or scaling of objects.
