Patent EP-1335066-A1 (EP)
Inventor: MAUER JOERG DR
IPC: D21G7/00
Filed: 2003-01-22
Abstract: In a process to apply a glaze finish to paper, a web (12) of paper is rolled onto a spool and subsequently surrendered to a glazing stage. During discharge from the spool and prior to glazing, the paper is especially moistened to a state at which it the moisture value is higher than it was immediately prior to winding onto the spool. The paper web is surrendered from a spool forming part of a papermaking machine (14) and is then wound off for the final-stage glazing treatment. The moisture level applied depends upon a - quality parameter for the final glaze. The glazing process is an off-line operation. An Independent claim is also included for a commensurate moistening assembly.

Abstract: In a digital camera, when a motion image reducing mode is set, a
pointer is displayed on a monitor (80). When the operator operates on
cursor key (86a-86d), the pointer moves, and when the operator operates a
determination key (88) at two different pointer positions, a rectangular
frame is formed. Namely, the two pointer positions represent upper left
and lower right coordinates of the frame. The picked up real time motion
image is displayed in the rectangular frame. The displayed motion image
is reduced to a magnification corresponding to the ratio of the rectangular
frame with respect to the monitor frame. When the operator operates a
shutter button (89) at this time, the image in the motion image frame is
recorded on a memory card (82). As the motion image is displayed in the
motion image frame in accordance with the instruction by the operator and
the image in the motion image frame is recorded in accordance with the
operation of the shutter button, a processed image can be obtained without
the necessity of preparing a separate image processing apparatus.

Title: Methodology for temporal fault event isolation and identification
Inventor: VOLPONI ALLAN J
IPC: G01M99/00
Filed: 2003-10-31
Abstract: Single fault isolation is performed to establish some parameter measurements as an event start (21), an event detect (23), and an event end (25). A latency period (27) is extended from the event start to event detect, while a blackout period (29) is extended from the event start to event end. Multiple fault isolation is performed to establish a first trend line for the measurements prior to and after the blackout period. The parameter measurements are reprocessed and processed in the latency and blackout periods, respectively. A model influence coefficient (IC) is calculated using an aero thermal model simulation of an engine, after which single fault vectors and their estimate are calculated. A normalized error and a polarized error term are calculated from the single fault vectors, successively. The fault vector with the smallest calculated normalized error is calculated, and is utilized to direct maintenance decisions. An independent claim is also included for a method of maintaining an engine.

Abstract: The invention relates to a gas-discharge lamp having a discharge vessel (5), two electrodes (7, 8), a cap (2), an outer envelope (11), and a filling in the discharge vessel comprising a metal halide. Gas-discharge lamps of this kind are used in particular as light sources for the headlight systems of motor vehicles. In order to easily improve the quality of the color of the beam from the lamp, particularly for application in an optical imaging system such as a reflector of a motor vehicle headlight, the outer envelope of the gas-discharge lamp is partially coated with an optical compensating filter (13) of a color complementary to the color of the metal halide. In gas-discharge lamps of the generic kind, that proportion (15) of salts in the filling that is not in the gaseous state when the lamp is operating produces a coloration in the beam generated. The yellowish condensate (15) in the discharge vessel causes an area of yellowish coloration in the beam. By partially coating the outer envelope with a compensating filter, the unwanted coloration in the beam can be corrected if the filter is of the appropriate complementary color.

Abstract: System and methods for non-intrusive real-time eye detection and tracking are disclosed. A subject's eyes can be detected by using active illumination analysis to generate a difference image of the subject. In the difference image, the bright pupil effect intensifies the appearance of the subject's pupils. A component analysis can be used to identify a set of pupil candidates from the difference image. An appearance-based analysis can be applied to the pupil candidates to identify the subject's eyes from background noise that can occur under various lighting conditions. After the subject's eyes are detected, a multi-stage tracking process is disclosed for detecting real-time eye movements. Further features are disclosed such as an image acquisition apparatus that reduces external illumination interferences.

Abstract: The invention relates to a one-way valve device (1), in particular a low-pressure non-return valve for use with infusion equipment. Said device consists of a housing (2, 3) comprising a supply tube (5) and a drain tube (14), in addition to at least one seal (4) that is enclosed in a pressure chamber (12). To prevent the admission of air into the infusion liquid circuit, the flow is interrupted by a static negative pressure prevailing on the supply tube (5) and/or drain tube (14) or by an excess pressure on the drain tube (14). This reliably guarantees that the infusion liquid only circulates if there is a static excess pressure on the supply tube.
