Patent EP-0881596-A3 (EP)
IPC: G06V30/162
Filed: 1998-05-28
Abstract: An image processing method and system for generating enhanced binary image data from
greyscale input image data. The method comprises (a) receiving first image data, said first image
data being greyscale image data defining an input image, (b) performing a high frequency boost
operation on the first image data to produce second image data, (c) performing a linear interpolation
operation on the second image data to produce third image data, said third image data having a
resolution higher than the resolution of the second image data, (d) performing a contrast
enhancement operation on the third image data to produce fourth image data, and (e)thresholding
the fourth image data to produce fifth image data, said fifth image data being binary image data
defining an output image. The techniques find application, for example, in over-the-desk scanning of
documents, and in video-conferencing.

Abstract: An oil burner capable of ensuring normal combustion of
quality-deteriorated kerosine. A burner body (11) including a
vaporization section (13a) is fed with fuel and air from a fuel
pump (23) and an air fan (15), respectively. A combustion
control unit (10) controls the fuel pump and air fan to control a
combustion quantity in the burner body. The combustion control
unit increases the combustion quantity to a combustion level
sufficient to permit tar collected in the vaporization section to
be burned at a predetermined time interval (t1). Also, the
combustion control unit keeps the combustion quantity increased
to the combustion level for a predetermined period of time (t2)
which permits tar collected in the burner body prior to an
increase in combustion quantity to the combustion level to be
substantially exhausted. This permits the combustion quantity to
be intermittently increased, to thereby ensure substantial
exhaustion of tar collected in the burner body.

Abstract: A technique for forming integrated circuit device contacts includes the
formation of nitride spacers along side gate electrodes for LDD definition. In
addition, a nitride cap layer is formed over the gate electrodes. When a contact
opening is formed through the interlevel oxide dielectric, the nitride cap and sidewall
spacers protect the gate electrode from damage and shorting. A highly doped poly
plug is formed in the opening to make contact to the underlying substrate.
Metalization is formed over the poly plug in the usual manner.

between the fluid inlet (112) of the housing member and the
second end (220) of the armature to couple the interior
fluid passage (230) with the fluid inlet (112) of the
housing member. A fluid outlet (310) is disposed proximate
the valve member (210) of the armature and is coupleable to
the fluid outlet (112) of the housing member (210) when the
valve member is unseated from a valve seat (116) disposed
along the axial bore proximate the fluid outlet (114) of
the housing member, whereby the electric solenoid valve has
reduced fluid stagnation, improved actuation
responsiveness, and is integrateable with fluid dispensing
systems.

Abstract: A glass fiber mat (104) includes glass fibers impregnated with a binder and then
cured. A predetermined pattern of relatively high and low concentrations of binder is
formed throughout the length of the glass fiber mat. The pattern includes at least one
portion (106,108,110) of the mat having a relatively high concentration of binder
adjoining a portion (112,114) of the mat having a relatively low concentration of binder
and is produced either by selectively applying liquid binder to the glass fibers via an
applicator or selectively removing liquid binder from the glass fibers via a vacuum
before curing. The cured mats can be cut along an area of high binder concentration to
produce cut edges which resist breaking and tearing. Shingles formed from such glass
fiber mats have improved tear resistance and pliability.

Abstract: A pusher block assembly (10) is provided for use in the aligner section of a printing
press. The assembly includes a pusher (18) which automatically tilts rearwardly and
translates downwardly at the discharge end of the aligner section, thereby preventing
damage to the trailing edges of the articles transferred to the printing section of the
press. The pushers (18) are also pivotable between upright and horizontal positions. This

Abstract: In a low cost film scanner, a CCD image sensor 21 is precision
aligned to a film plane scanning aperture 12 and is mounted to the an intervening
imaging housing assembly 10 by means of a radiation (UV) curable adhesive 31 of
appropriate viscosity. With the sensor positioned within but in spaced apart
relationship to a sensor housing segment 22 of the housing assembly 10, the
adhesive is injected through a mounting hole in a wall of the housing segment to
adhere to the image sensor 21. An excess amount of the injected adhesive forms a
cap over the mounting hole. The viscosity of the adhesive is such as to allow the
adhesive to generally maintain its shape in the space between the sensor and the
wall of the sensor housing segment 22. The spacing of the sensor from the sensor
housing segment 22 allows six degrees of freedom of movement of the sensor
during the alignment operation after which the injected adhesive is curing in  situ 
to form a sensor mount fastener with the sensor is precise alignment with the film
plane aperture. The hardened cap over the mounting hole provides a solid
mechanical bond of the fastener to the housing segment.
