Inventor: VON ARX MARKUS AURELIUS
IPC: C08F6/00
Filed: 1999-06-18
Abstract: A process for treating an aqueous polymer latex/dispersion
of synthetic polymers prepared by polymerizing one or more
monomeric materials for at least 80%, involving:
   A. adding to the polymer latex/dispersion a sufficient
amount of at least one reducing agent in one or more
portions followed by adding at least one free radical
generator in such a way that at least the bulk of the
reducing agent has been added before addition of free
radical generator is started and maintaining the mixture at
a suitable temperature for a period of time which is
sufficient to reduce the VOC-level of the latex/dispersion
to decrease to below 1,500 ppm, preferably to below 1,000
ppm after which   B. water vapour and/or gas is/are sparged into the
latex/dispersion whilst the temperature of the
latex/dispersion is maintained at a suitable temperature
for a period of time which is sufficient to decrease the
VOC-level to below 200 ppm, preferably to below 50 ppm,
most preferably to below 15 ppm.    
     Preferably the reducing agent is completely added before
the addition of the free radical generator is started. 
and the free radical generator comprises at least one
water-soluble peroxy compound and at least one oil-soluble
organic peroxide. Preferably step B. is carried out in a
column provided with trays with openings in which column
the latex/dispersion is cascaded downwards in counter-current
flow with water vapour and/or air.

Abstract: In a system for measuring the quality of a received video sequence
with respect to an original video sequence a low duty-cycle transport of
video reference images from the original video sequence is used to
transmit full quality images. Such a reference frame from the original
video sequence is selected and transmitted as a full quality video image,
either separately or as part of the transmission of the original video
sequence after processing. The processed original video sequence
becomes a received video sequence at a receiver, and the frame
corresponding to the reference frame is extracted and compared with the
full quality received reference frame to obtain a measure of the quality of
the received video sequence.

Abstract: An aqueous caustic process can be used for replacing a
thermal barrier coating on a metal surface. In the process, the metal
surface is contacted with a caustic solution to remove the thermal
barrier coating. The processing conditions for contacting the caustic
solution are selected to avoid the formation of a peel layer during a
subsequent application of a replacement thermal barrier coating and
heat treatment. A replacement thermal barrier coating is then
reapplied to the metal surface.

Patent EP-0955077-A1 (EP)
IPC: B01D21/22
Filed: 1999-04-22
Abstract: The device comprises an applicator for dosing a fluid or thickened antifreeze compound on to the affected surfaces supplied from a storage container (4) via a tube (10) and an isolating valve. For chain operated systems, the applicator can be arranged to treat the non-immersed chain and guides. The isolating valve is actuated from a controller which monitors ambient temperature and only doses antifreeze under conditions where freezing problems are expected. The controller can be set to dispense e.g. when the ambient temperature falls to 2 degrees C; it may also be programmed to take account of the operating speed of the unit. The antifreeze compound must be compatible with the product water; methanol based compositions are suitable for some applications. Colorants may be incorporated into the antifreeze to allow visual or photoelectric monitoring of the efficiency of the dosing.

Title: Method for producing a plastic toothbrush
Inventor: RUEB FRITZ A
IPC: A46B11/00
Filed: 1999-04-16
Abstract: To produce a plastic toothbrush, especially a toothbrush comprising an exchangeable brush head, the retaining ends (6) of bristles (3) are pushed through holes (5) in a retaining plate (4) or a toothbrush body (2) in such a way that they protrude slightly. Said retaining ends (6) of the bristles (3) are joined to each other and/or to the retaining plate (4) or the brush body (2) by fusion. In this way, before or after fusion an oligodynamic material (9), especially in liquid form, can be applied at least in partial areas but preferably across the entire surface, on the retaining ends (6) of the bristles (3). Said material is incorporated into the melted mass during fusion or, if it is applied after fusion, penetrates the plastic material of the bristles (3) by diffusion or capillary action. During use of the toothbrush and as a result of the wetting caused thereby, the oligodynamic material is distributed along the full length of the bristles and can have an antibacterial and germicidal action during the duration of use, until it is fully rinsed out.

Abstract: An image processing circuit (110) includes a processor that receives an encoded portion (112) of a first version of an image. The processor decodes (114) this encoded portion directly into a decoded portion of a second version of the image, the second version (138) having a resolution that is different than the resolution of the first version. Therefore, such an image processing circuit can decode an encoded hi-res version of an image directly into a decoded lo-res version of the image. Alternatively, the image processing circuit includes a processor that modifies a motion vector (134) associated with a portion of a first version of an image. The processor then identifies a portion of a second image to which the modified motion vector points, the second image having a different resolution than the first version of the first image. Next, the processor generates a portion of a second version of the first image from the identified portion of the second image, the second version of the first image having the same resolution as the second image.
