Abstract: There is disclosed technique and apparatus for calibrating a color processing device. The technique includes the steps of comparing a first digital representation of a colored image with a second digital representation thereof and employing at least the transformation to control operation of the color processing device to be calibrated. The first digital representation defines a plurality of first non-scalar color values and the second digital representation defines a plurality of second non-scalar color values corresponding to the plurality of the first non-scalar color values, thereby to provide a transformation pairing each individual one of the first non-scalar color values with a value relatively close to the corresponding one of the second non-scalar color values. The color processing device may be calibrated generally without reference to human aesthetic judgement. There is additionally provided a method and apparatus for transforming an element of a domain of a first color printing device to an element of a domain of a second color printing device. The method comprises the steps of providing a first transformation from a first digital representation of a colored image to a second digital representation thereof and a second transformation from a third digital representation of a colored image to a fourth digital representation thereof and comparing the first transformation with the second transformation. The second transformation corresponds to the second color printing device, the first transformation corresponds to the first color printing device and the second and fourth digital representations are defined within a single color space. <IMAGE>   <IMAGE>

Abstract: A circular rotary engine comprises a housing having spaced concentric cylindrical walls (23, 26) defining an annulus therebetween with intake (28-I) and exhaust ports (27-E) through the sides of the walls and a cylindrical rotary piston ring (10) having multiple symmetrically undulating surfaces (c, d) on both ends and coaxial interior (20) and exterior (19) gears for shaft drive which rotates within the annulus while reciprocating between end ring members (9, 11) positioned within the annulus and secured at each end of the interior and exterior walls. The end rings (9, 11) have opposite facing undulating frontal surfaces (a, b) symmetrical with the undulating frontal surface (c, d) of the rotary piston (10) such that the piston ring surfaces cooperate with the end ring surfaces to alternately create a volume area and displace the volume area in some portion during rotation, thus alternately opening a series of chambers (5, 6, 8) on one end of the rotary piston (10) while displacing chambers (1, 2, 4) on the opposite end with the reciprocating movement during axial rotation of the rotary piston responding in motion against the symmetric frontal surfaces of the end rings. This motion is accomplished while maintaining frontal surface contact (12, 13, 14, 15) at all times, without restriction to rotation whereby frontal surface seal contact is maintained during axial reciprocation and rotary movement. All components are coaxial thus providing the rotary piston with controlled circular axial rotation within the annulus with the end ring members controlling reciprocation.

Abstract: A method and apparatus (10) to effect tanning or repair of ultraviolet-damaged DNA in humans. The method utilizes very short discrete pulses of electromagnetic radiation, with a dark period of low to zero energization between discrete pulses, of selected wave length. A first band of radiation, preferably between 250 to 400 nm, is effective to induce tanning; while a second band of radiation, preferably between 320 to 600 nm, is effective to induce DNA repair. One type of apparatus (10) continuously generates electromagnetic radiation of the selected wave length and projects that radiation through mechanical pathblockers to create the discrete pulses. Some possible mechanical pathblockers are rotating slats (41) having apertures (40); one or more rotating cylinders (20) with opening (26). An example of another type of apparatus is a stroboscopic flash tube (56).

Abstract: In manually actuable blind riveters (10), a front sleeve (14) is arranged on the front side of a riveter housing (12) and a mouthpiece (18) for receiving a mandrel is fixed in the front end of the said sleeve. Arranged in the front sleeve (14), behind the mouthpiece (18), is a chuck (20) for the mandrel and this chuck is connected to a movable pulling piston (24) extending through the riveter housing (12) and having an interior designed as a discharge channel (26) for mandrels which have been torn off. Arranged laterally on the riveter housing (12) are two articulated levers (42) for the transmission of an axial force component to the mandrel leading to a stroke during the actual riveting process. In such blind riveters, the force required to set a riveted joint increases with the size and thickness of the blind rivet to be set. With the blind riveter according to the invention, on the other hand, blind rivets of various sizes and thicknesses can be set in a simple manner with essentially the same expenditure of force in all cases. This is achieved according to the invention by virtue of the fact that the stroke of the pulling piston (24) can be adjusted by altering the distance between the mouthpiece (18) and the chuck (20). <IMAGE>
