Title: Processing multi-view digital images
Inventor: LEUNG KA MING
IPC: G06T5/00
Filed: 2009-04-24
Abstract: Methods, apparatuses (100, 400, 1000), and computer program products for generating an enhanced digital image (490, 495, 1022) comprising a plurality of pixels are disclosed. Using a first digital image (420, 1020) captured from a first camera (124) and parity bits (410, 415, 1010) generated from a second digital image captured by a second camera (122, 126), a third digital image (445, 447, 1045) is constructed. The 10 second camera (122, 126) captures the second image at a resolution different to the resolution of the first camera (124) capturing the first image (420, 1020). A disparity map (455, 457, 1055) between the first image (420, 1020) and the third image (445, 447, 1045) is determined (450, 452, 1050). One of the first image (420, 1020) and the third image (445, 447, 1045) is enhanced (470, 472, 1070) dependent upon the 15 determined disparity map (455, 457, 1055) to generate the enhanced digital image (490, 495, 1022).

Title: MRI compatible electrode circuit
Inventor: LLOYD THOMAS W
IPC: A61B5/05
Filed: 2010-03-04
Abstract: An MRI compatible electrode circuit construct is provided. The construct includes at least two filter components constructed from an electrode wire. One filter component may be a resonant LC filter at or near an electrode/wire interface that resolves the issue of insufficient attenuation by effectively blocking the RF induced current on the wire from exiting the wire through the electrode. The second filter component may include one or more non-resonant filter(s) positioned along the length of the electrode wire that resolve(s) the issue of excessive heating of the resonant LC filter by significantly attenuating the current induced on the wire before it reaches the resonant LC filter. The non-resonant filter(s) may also attenuate the RF current reflected from the resonant LC filter thereby resolving the issue of the strong reflected power from the resonant filter and the associated dielectric heating.

Title: Method and apparatus to enhance oil recovery in wells
Inventor: RANDOLPH SMITH DAVID
IPC: E21B43/00
Filed: 2010-04-20
Abstract: The present invention provides methods and apparatuses for the enhanced recovery of hydrocarbon fluids from subterranean reservoirs using cryogenic fluids. Using the Earth's geothermal energy to warm cryogenic flood fluids injected into subterranean reservoirs, the pressure within the subterranean reservoir is increased. Consequently, the reservoir conductivity is enhanced due to thermal cracking, and improved sweep efficiency of the reservoir by the flood fluids is provided. This rise in pressure due to the injection of the cryogenic fluid increases the reservoir conductivity enhancement and improves sweep efficiency of the flood fluids, which leads to the production of more fluids from to the subterranean reservoirs.

Title: Heat treatment method for hair upon which cosmetic chemicals are applied and hair processing method using same
Inventor: LEE DAE BUM
IPC: A45D7/00
Filed: 2010-10-19
Abstract: The present invention relates to a heat treatment method for hair and a hair processing method using the same, in which thermal energy is applied while a cosmetic chemical such as a dye is applied to the hair during a perm, hair dyeing or the like. Thus, the invention provides a heat treatment method for hair which transmits thermal energy to hair (H) upon which a cosmetic chemical is applied, thereby performing the heat treatment, wherein: thermal energy from an electric heater (11) is primarily transmitted to a metallic member (12) having a heat transfer coefficient of at least 150kcal/㎡H°C; and thermal energy of said metallic member (12) is secondarily transmitted to a non-metallic member (13) having a heat transfer coefficient of at most 0.20kcal/㎡H°C, whereby heat transmission occurs by contact between said non-metallic member and the hair (H). In addition, the invention provides various hair processing methods by applying high-temperature thermal energy to the hair (H) such that keratin, the main component of the hair (H), becomes relaxed by responding to the heat and at the same time, the hair (H) swells whereby the cosmetic chemicals can smoothly permeate the hair and be washed off.
