Abstract: A method and an equipment extracts image
features from an image sequence in which frames
indicating images are time-sequentially arranged with
respect to time. The equipment includes a unit for
inputting the image sequence, a unit for acquiring a
motion trajectory of an image contour of a target
included within a region defined by an arbitrary
spatial range and time range within the input image
sequence, as three-dimensional volume data drawn
within a spatiotemporal space in which each of the
frames is time-sequentially stacked, a unit for
acquiring a plane histogram of one of tangent planes
tangent to the motion trajectory and partial planes
which may be included in the motion trajectory, and a
unit for measuring temporal features and spatial
features of the image from the acquired plane
histogram. The three-dimensional volume data is
obtained by forming difference images among the frames
arranged in the time sequence and stacking the formed
difference images. The plane histogram is obtained as
votes accumulated in a plane parameter space obtained
by use of the Hough transform.

Title: Method and apparatus for modifying particles
Inventor: HORIUCHI TAKAHIRO
IPC: B01J2/00
Filed: 1998-11-25
Abstract: Particles are cooled at a particle introducing
section by a cooling device. A vapor of modifying agent
for modifying the particles is produced by heating the
modifying agent in a vapor producing chamber by a heating
device. Further, a supersaturated vapor of the modifying
agent is produced around the particles by mixing the
cooled particles with the vapor of the modifying agent.
The modifying agent condenses on the surface of the
particles by the production of the supersaturated vapor,
and consequently, a film of the modifying agent is formed
on the surface of the particles. A thick film of the
modifying agent can be formed if this film forming step
is carried out repetitively. Thus, modified particles
having formed thereon a thick uniform film of the
modifying agent can be produced by quite a simple
manipulation in a very short time.

Abstract: On utilise des halogénures de métaux sur support ainsi que des acides solides d'halogénures de métaux, en tant que catalyseurs servant à la polymérisation d'un flux d'alimentation contenant au moins un monomère pur, des monomères C5 et des monomères C9, afin de produire des résines d'hydrocarbure. On peut enlever du catalyseur acide solide l'eau associée librement à celui-ci, avant utilisation du catalyseur. On peut préparer des résines à points de ramollissement (déterminés par la méthode bille et anneau) se situant dans la plage comprise entre environ 5 et 170 °C. Ces catalyseurs présentent des avantages sur les catalyseurs classiques de polymérisation de Friedel-Crafts, en ce que leurs sites acides font partie intégrante du solide. Ces catalyseurs acides solides sont relativement non dangereux et réutilisables, et leur utilisation permet de supprimer ou tout au moins de diminuer la contamination des produits résineux résultants par des restes acides ou des sous-produits.

Abstract: The present invention is directed towards a means to detect and
reorder out of order instructions that may violate data coherency. The
invention comprises a mis-queue table for holding entries of instruction
data, each entry corresponding to an instruction in a computer
microprocessor. The instruction data in each entry comprises: i) address
information for the instruction; ii) ordering information for the
instruction, indicating the order of the instruction relative to other
instructions in the mis-queue table; iii) data modification information
for the instruction, for indicating a possibility of modified data;
and iv) out of order information, for indicating that a newer instruction
has completed before the corresponding older instruction to the entry.
The invention also comprises an out of order comparator for comparing an
address of a completed instruction to any address information entries in
the miss queue. If a completed instruction accesses the same address as
another instruction, as indicated in the address information in the mis-queue
table, and the completed instruction is newer than the matched
instruction, the out of order field is marked indicating this condition
exists.The invention comprises a modification comparator. This compares
addresses from data altering events to those addresses in the entries in
the mis-queue table. On a match, the modification field of the
corresponding entry is marked to indicate this condition exists. When an
instruction entry indicates that the corresponding instruction's data is
modified, and that the instruction is out of order, all subsequent
instructions are cancelled.
