Abstract: In a video signal processing method of processing a
luminance signal of a video signal generated by causing a CCD
to receive light transmitted through color filters, a control
signal yf1 is generated by calculating Cy/Y using a
complementary color signal Cy and a luminance signal Y, and
coring correction is performed to the luminance signal by using
the control signal yf1. The characteristic difference between
the color filters is suppressed, and, as a result, flickers are
suppressed from being generated.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des compositions génératrices de gaz à haute teneur en azote, utiles pour les sacs gonflables au gaz dans les systèmes gonflables de retenue pour passagers, renfermant un composé de coordination riche en azote choisi parmi les complexes de coordination du groupe des ligands anioniques nitro et nitrito coordonnés avec une matrice en métal de transition, et aussi des cations non métalliques ou non métalliques/métalliques. Ces compositions produisent relativement plus de gaz et moins de matières solides, et sont plus sûres que les compositions génératrices de gaz existantes. Certaines compositions s'enflamment à des températures d'auto-inflammation inférieures, ce qui facilite l'utilisation d'un récipient à pression en aluminium ou en métal léger. D'autres sont auto-déflagrantes, ce qui élimine la nécessité d'y ajouter des éléments supplémentaires. L'invention concerne également des procédés nouveaux pour la synthèse des complexes de coordination à dérivé non métallique (par exemple, guanidine et hydrazine).

Abstract: Ce procédé stérilisant sert à stériliser un produit médical au moyen de peroxyde d'hydrogène gazeux, tout en maintenant le produit emballé. Dans ce procédé de stérilisation, on utilise un récipient d'emballage (1) laissant pénétrer le peroxyde d'hydrogène gazeux, et une fois le traitement de stérilisation terminé, le récipient d'emballage (1) est soumis à un traitement de dégazage en étant chauffé, ce qui en évacue le peroxyde d'hydrogène qu'il contient. Ainsi, on peut exécuter le traitement de stérilisation efficacement et empêcher de façon sûre que le peroxyde d'hydrogène gazeux ne reste dans le récipient d'emballage. Cette invention présente en outre des paquets d'injection (P) comprenant ledit récipient d'emballage (1) et une seringue remplie de médicament (4) enfermée dans ledit récipient d'emballage. Dans ces paquets d'injection (P), un corps d'emballage (2) est conçu avec une forme spécifique qui assure une surface de pénétration de gaz suffisante à un papier stérile au moyen duquel le corps de récipient est fermé hermétiquement, lorsque plusieurs paquets d'injection sont empilés sur plusieurs niveaux. Ainsi, par ce traitement, on peut faire pénétrer le peroxyde d'hydrogène gazeux dans le récipient d'emballage (1) pendant une courte période et dégazer le récipient d'emballage (1), pour en évacuer le peroxyde d'hydrogène gazeux qu'il contient.

IPC: F21V5/00
Filed: 1998-12-09
Abstract: Un système d'éclairage distribué ou 'DLS' (Distributed Lighting System) peut être utilisé, par exemple, dans une automobile. Le DLS emploie des composants optiques sans foyer bon marché, tels que des éléments collecteurs et des guides d'ondes, qui ont une efficacité élevée de collecte et sont très compacts. Le faisceau de feux de route, le faisceau de feux de croisement, et les feux de stop peuvent être réalisés en utilisant des sous-systèmes d'éclairage hybrides combinant un système optique conventionnel, tel qu'une lampe de phare, avec des composants qui reçoivent la lumière des lampes de phares et transmettent la lumière par guides d'ondes ou fibres optiques de façon à assurer d'autres fonctions d'éclairage dans tout le véhicule. Ainsi par exemple, le sous système de lampes de phares peut constituer les sources de lumière des autres lampes extérieures telles que les feux de direction avant et les feux de position, mais aussi les lampes intérieures telles que celles du tableau de bord et du plafonnier. Ces autres lampes peuvent être raccordées aux sous-systèmes de lampes de phares par des guides d'ondes optiques. De la même façon, les sous-systèmes de feux arrières fournissent la lumière pour les feux de direction arrière et le troisième feu de stop. Les sous-systèmes du DLS sont interconnectés de façon que la source de lumière de l'un des sous-systèmes serve de source de lumière redondante à un autre sous-système.

Abstract: Conversion products from a catalyzed gaseous reaction are analyzed by feeding the reactor outlet stream to an adsorbent that is selective for the product to be determined by having at least one property, e.g. visible color change, infrared or ultraviolet absorption, fluorescence, density, temperature, refractive index, pH or conductivity, etc. which changes when in contact with this product. A test apparatus (1) has a thermally conductive, solid cylindrical block (6), of e.g. brass, provided on its upper face with a number of cylindrical recesses (7), arranged in a matrix. Each recess has a bottom outlet bore (8), extending down to a porous plate (21) and providing identical flowrate. The top of the block is covered by a brass lid (10) with inlet connections (17,18). Both the block and the lid have heating/cooling elements (15), inserted in horizontal bores (14), for temperature control. The gaseous test feed is introduced to a distribution chamber (19) via the inlets, simultaneously passes down through the catalyst samples (20), supported on porous frits (16) within the recesses, and down the bores to the plate which contains the absorbent reagent, before leaving the apparatus via a collection chamber and outlet (23).

Abstract: A three-dimensional color ultrasonic encoding and/or decoding system
is provided in which a three-dimensional color ultrasonic image is classified
into zero pixel data, gray pixel data and indexed color pixel data, to thereby
perform encoding and decoding based on the classification data. The
encoding and/or decoding system includes an encoding system including a
classifier, a first encoder for encoding gray pixel data and a second encoder
for encoding indexed color pixel data, a run-level encoder, a pixel separator
and a multiplexer, and a decoding system including a demultiplexer, a
run-level decoder, a first decoder for decoding gray pixel data, a second
decoder for decoding indexed color pixel data and an image mixer. The
inventive system classifies the three-dimensional color ultrasonic image into
classes in which pixels having higher correlation belong to the same classes,
and encodes and decodes each pixel based on the classification data, with a
result that an image can be losslessly encoded at a hight compression rate
than in the conventional lossless encoding. The indexed color pixel data is
separately classified from the gray pixel data and is separately encoded
therefrom, which enables a three-dimensional color ultrasonic lossy encoding
which is not possible in the conventional methods.

Abstract: An ambulatory recorder 1 having a volatile and a

These parameters, along with the total buffer size
available are used to determine the final complete data
set which can be stored in the buffer. Thereafter, the
contents of the buffer are transferred to the non
