Title: Catalysts for the large scale production of high purity carbon nanotubes with chemical vapor deposition
Inventor: MITRI STRATIGOULA
IPC: D01F9/127
Filed: 2005-06-10
Abstract: In the present invention, advanced catalysts for the production of high purity and high quality carbon nanotubes with the technique of chemical vapor deposition are described. The use of these catalysts and the described methodology allows the production of carbon nanotubes at high rates and with yields per mass unit of catalytic material, which are much higher than those achieved with other methods of carbon nannotubes production and other catalysts. The high yields, the high production rates and the very low cost of the catalysts that are employed in the developed method lead to the production of materials that cost much less than commercially available materials of similar or lower quality. The catalyst or the catalytic substrate on which carbon is deposited and grows in the form of nanotubes consists of the carrier or the substrate, which is aluminum oxide (alumina) or one of the other metal oxides that are usually employed as catalytic media, the active phase which is iron oxide (preferably hematite but also any other form) and a promoter, such as molybdenum oxide. The ratio of these three components plays a very important role in the composition of the catalyst.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système de connexion d'images d'approximativement 360 degrés en temps réel et un procédé destiné à résoudre les problèmes de distortion et de perception dans les images capturées par des caméras omnidirectionnelles. En général, le procédé de correction d'images panoramiques en temps réel permet de générer une table de déformation à partir des coordonnées de pixel d'une image panoramique, et d'appliquer la table de déformation à l'image panoramique afin d'obtenir une image panoramique corrigée. Les corrections sont exécutées à l'aide d'une classe paramétrique de fonctions de déformation comprenant des fonctions de mesure SVU. Les fonctions de mesure SVU et les facteurs de mesure sont utilisés pour exécuter une mesure verticale et une mesure horizontale sur les coordonnées de pixel des images panoramiques. Une correction de distortion horizontale est exécutée à l'aide des fonctions de mesure SVU et au moins deux facteurs de mesure différents. Ce traitement permet de générer une table de déformation pouvant être appliquée à l'image panoramique afin d'obtenir une image panoramique corrigée. Dans un mode de réalisation, la table de déformation est concaténée avec une table de stitching utilisée pour obtenir l'image panoramique.

Abstract: A shoe (10) which has a sole (12) with a toe portion (14), a heel portion (16) and an arch portion (18) located between them. A two part heel (20) which has a low heel block (22) attached to the heel portion of the sole and includes a slot (42) formed therein. A high heel extension piece (24) is attached to the low heel block through a support beam (38) having a substantially rectangular cross-section. The support beam (38) is capable of limited axial and pivotal movement within slot. The dimensions of the support beam (38) and the slot (42) prevent rotational movement of the high heel extension piece (24) about its central axis. The high heel extension piece (24) can be pivoted relative to the sole (12) between a first position wherein it underlies and is in alignment with the low heel block (22) and a second position wherein it lies substantially beneath the arch portion (18) of said sole. The bottom of the low heel block has a low heel lift (28) that extends downwardly and engages the ground when the high heel extension piece (24) is stowed. This low heel lift (28) is completely enclosed and hidden by a beveled edge (32) at the top of the high heel extension piece (24) when it is in its vertical position high heel. A detent in the form of a spring biased ball (74) incorporated within a rotatable slotted pivot (52) and a depression (78) in the support beam (38) maintain the high heel extension piece (24) in the desired position.

Inventor: LAZARUS MICHAEL A
IPC: G06Q30/02
Filed: 2000-05-04
Abstract: Predictive modeling of consumer financial behavior is provided by application of consumer transaction data to predictive models associated with merchant segments. The merchant segments are derived from the consumer transaction data based on co-occurrences of merchants in sequences of transactions. Merchant vectors represent specific merchants, and are aligned in a vector space as a function of the degree to which the merchants co-occur more or less frequently than expected.  Merchant vectors are clustered to form the merchant segments. Analysis of merchant segments details transaction rates, volumes and amounts for the segment and its individual merchants. For each merchant segment a predictive model is trained using consumer transaction data in selected past time periods to predict spending in subsequent time periods. The merchant segment predictive models provide predictions of spending in each merchant segment for any particular consumer, based on previous spending by the consumer. Consumer profiles describe summary statistics of each consumer's spending in the merchant segments, and across merchant segments. The consumer profiles include consumer vectors derived as summary vectors of selected merchants patronized by the consumer. Membership functions associate each consumer with one or more merchant segments.  Analysis of the consumers associated with a segment allows for identification of selected consumers according to predicted spending in the segment or other criteria, and the targeting of promotional offers specific to the segment and its merchants.

Abstract: High pressure discharge lamps can only be restarted in the hot state with very high arc voltages. In order to avoid a hot start, a method for operation of high pressure discharge lamps without hot-starting comprises application of two high pressure discharge lamps (12a, 12b) in a light. Both high pressure discharge lamps (12a, 12b) are operated as follows: on switching off the light, the first lamp (12a) is switched off and the second lamp (12b) is put in a stand-by state for the duration of the recovery of the first lamp or remains so until switched off. On switching on the light again during this period the second lamp can immediately be operated without starting. Should the light not be switched on again once said duration has expired, the second lamp (12b) is also switched off.
