Abstract: It has been discovered that a mechanical flotation system 10 having only two cells 18, 20 can be nearly as efficient as one having more cells, yet provide an apparatus with a considerably smaller footprint. significantly reduced capital and operating costs, as well as be resistant to floating oil recovery platform wave effects The dual-cell mechanical floatation system 10 has, in sequential order, an inlet chamber 16 and two gasification chambers or cells 18, 20, each with at least one gas ingestion and mixing mechanism 32, and a discharge chamber 24. A common primary skin collection channel 40 atop the partition 44 dividing the gasification chambers 18, 20 efficiently channels away the bulk of the floating collected matter At least one baffle 60 depending from the top of the vessel 12 near the primary skin collection channel 40 helps dampen the action of the fluid containing the suspended matter when the vessel 12 is affected by wave motion against the floating oil production platform. The liquid or froth levels 50, 66, and 76 can be intermittently raised for collection or otherwise lowered during periods of excessive turbulence (e.g. pitch or roll) to prevent clarified liquid from being collected with suspended matter.

Abstract: An outboard motor steering system for an outboard motor mounted on a stern of a boat and having an internal combustion engine at its upper portion and a propeller with a rudder at its lower portion powered by the engine to propel and steer the boat. The system includes a swivel shaft installed in the outboard motor, a swivel case fixed to the outboard motor and rotatably accommodating the swivel shaft, and a hydraulic actuator connected to the swivel shaft to rotate it. The actuator has a shape whose height is larger than its width and is installed in such a manner that a direction of the height is in parallel with a vertical direction, so as to remain within a profile of the outboard motor, obtained by looking down the outboard motor from downward, regardless of a steered angle of the outboard motor. Specifically, the actuator is two hydraulic cylinders installed in an over--under manner or an elliptic hydraulic cylinder having a plurality of piston rods installed in the same manner. With this, it can enhance the output of the actuator to increase the steering force (torque), can prevent the actuator from projecting outside the profile, and can avoid constriction of the space around the outboard motor.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de compression d'une image couleur. L'image couleur comprend des données de couleur pour une pluralité de pixels. Le procédé consiste à obtenir des valeurs de pixel rouge, vert et bleu d'un objet à étudier dans l'image. Un calcul du complément des valeurs rouge, vert et bleu de l'objet à étudier est effectué. Des coefficients de transformation sont calculés, lesquels transforment les compléments des valeurs rouge, vert et bleu de l'objet à étudier en représentations dans un espace colorimétrique de transformation. Les coefficients de transformation sont appliqués à l'ensemble des pixels de l'image afin d'obtenir ainsi un ensemble de données transformées représentant l'image possédant des composantes le long de trois axes mutuellement orthogonaux (A, B et C) dans un espace colorimétrique transformé tridimensionnel. L'ensemble de données transformées est proportionné conformément à la quantification de couleurs utilisée dans le système ; par exemple, les valeurs A, B et C sont comprises entre 0 et 255 pour une quantification 8 bits. Un algorithme de compression, par exemple, un algorithme sans perte tel que WINZip ou LZW est appliqué sur au moins deux composantes de l'ensemble de données transformées afin de produire ainsi des données de sortie représentant une compression de l'image.

Granted: 2010-10-19
Abstract: In that respect the invention is based on the idea of providing a detection device which is capable of distinguishing whether a microphone or audio signal processing arrangement connected thereto operates on an analog or digital basis. An analog or digital connection is selected in accordance with that determination procedure. Consequently there is provided a detection device which has a sensing device (6), a determining device (5) and a selecting device (4). The sensing device (6) senses an external signal fed to the detection device and forwards that signal to the determining device (5). The determining device (5) determines whether the sensed external signal was transmitted by an analog or digital signal processing apparatus and transmits a corresponding determination signal to the selecting device (4). The selecting device (4) then selects either an analog or a digital connection, in dependence on the determination signal.
