Inventor: BRETT STEPHEN
IPC: H04N5/272
Filed: 2000-04-06
Abstract: A method for the digital manipulation of a video image, in which an object is located and replaced by another object. To account for ambient lighting effects, a base set of appearance parameter values for the first object is determined, such as average values of hue, saturation and luminance. Selected regions of the object are analysed and in respect of each selected region the extent to which actual appearance parameter values deviate from the base set of appearance parameter values is determined. The method includes storing data representative of the positions of the regions and the respective deviations from the base set of values. The first object is replaced by a second object, and the method then includes the step of applying to regions of the second object adjustments to appearance parameter values by reference to the stored data.

IPC: B41J2/175
Filed: 2000-04-10
Abstract: One aspect of the present invention is a method for adapting an ink jet printing system (10) for receiving an alternate supply of ink (74). The ink jet printing system (10) has an ink jet printhead (16) responsive to control signals for selectively depositing ink on media. Also included in the printing system (10) is a docking station (28) configured for receiving a replaceable ink container (18). The replaceable ink container (18) includes a fluid outlet (30) that is arranged to establish fluid communication with a fluid inlet (32) associated with the docking station (28) upon insertion of the replaceable ink container (18) into the docking station (28). The replaceable ink container (18) provides a supply of ink from the replaceable ink container (18) to the ink jet printhead (16). The method includes disconnecting a fluid conduit (20) extending between the fluid inlet (32) and the ink jet printhead (16) thereby interrupting the supply of ink from the replaceable ink container (18) to the ink jet printhead (16). The method further includes connecting an alternate fluid conduit (52) between the fluid inlet (32) and the ink jet printhead (16). The alternate fluid conduit (52) is in fluid communication with an alternate ink reservoir (72), wherein alternate ink is delivered from the alternate ink reservoir (72) to the ink jet printhead (16).

Title: Ball valve
Inventor: NICHOLLS STEVEN
IPC: F16K5/06
Filed: 2000-08-17
Abstract: A valve (1) comprises a housing (2) having an inlet (3) and an outlet (4). The housing (2) defines an internal valve chamber (16) between the inlet (3) and the outlet (4), in which a composite valve element (12) having a through bore (14) is snugly but rotatably located. The composite valve element (12) may be rotated from a first, open position in which the through bore (14) is aligned with the inlet (3) and the outlet (4) so as to define a flowpath therebetween to a second, closed position in which the through bore (14) is aligned with neither the inlet (3) nor the outlet (4) and in which a surface of the composite valve element (12) serves to seal the inlet (3) and the outlet (4) where these open into the valve chamber (16). Both the composite valve element (12) and the housing (2) are separable into at least first and second respective parts (19, 19'; 8, 8') when the valve (1) is in the closed position such that the first part (19) of the composite valve element (12) remains in a sealing relationship with the first part (8) of the housing (2) and the second part (19') of the composite valve element (12) remains in a sealing relationship with the second part (8') of the housing (2) when the first and second parts (19, 19'; 8, 8') of both the composite valve element (12) and the housing (2) are separated from each other. The valve (1) may therefore be separated into two parts when in the closed position, each part sealing either the inlet (3) or the outlet (4).

Title: Inkjet printing on a three-dimensional object including relative movement of a printhead and the object during printing about a rotational axis
Inventor: BAXTER WILLIAM RONALD STUART
IPC: B41J3/407
Filed: 2001-06-27
Abstract: The printing apparatus is adapted to print on a printing surface of a three-dimensional object 12 (e.g. a cylindrical can, or conical surface). The apparatus, which includes an inkjet printhead 14, is operative to effect relative movement of the printhead and the object, during printing, with a rotational component about an axis of rotation and with a linear component, in which the linear component is at least partially in a direction parallel with the axis of rotation. The nozzle pitch of the printhead may be greater than a grid pitch to be printed onto the printing surface in a nozzle row direction (Figs.2a,b). The apparatus may vary the speed of relative movement of the printhead and the surface during printing dependent on the radius of the surface being printed. Several other inventions are disclosed, including, the printing of a helical path on the object surface, and printing on a non-constant radius surface (Fig.5). The apparatus may be used to print onto a wide range of objects including: tubs; tubes; and bottles used to package foodstuffs, beverages, cosmetics, personal care substances, medications and DIY products.
