Title: A method for increasing the permeability of wood using microwave radiation
Inventor: VINDEN PETER
IPC: H05B6/78
Filed: 1999-06-09
Abstract: A method for increasing the permeability of wood which comprises subjecting wood with a moisture content (based on dry weight) of at least 15 % to microwave radiation at a frequency (f) in the range of from about 0.1 to about 24 GHz with a power intensity (p) from about 10 W/cm<2> to about 100 kW/cm<2> for a duration of from about 0.05 to about 600 seconds to cause water in the wood to vaporise resulting in an internal pressure in the wood such that the permeability of the wood is increased by partial or complete destruction of ray cell tissue, softening and displacement of wood resin, formation of pathways in the radial direction of the wood and/or by creating, on the base of destroyed rays, cavities in the wood, said cavities being primarily in radial-longitudinal planes of the wood, and wherein the overall integrity of the wood is substantially maintained.

Patent NZ-514714-A (NZ)
Title: Virtual true color light amplification
Inventor: JAMES BRIAN G
IPC: H04N9/69
Filed: 2000-04-10
Abstract: A method is provided for enhancing a digital image without distortion of the color. The result is an adjusted image which preserves the essential color of each and every dot in the input digital image while varying the effective light gathering power - like a virtual flash. The image enhancement is performed in RGB color space and comprises determining the maximum strength of the R, G, and B of a dot's RGB triplet and similarly for all dots. The dot maximums are scaled through a scaling function which is constrained in domain and range to the system's dynamic range. The same scaling factor that is applied to a dot maximum is also applied to each of R, G and B in the triplet. Preferably, a continuous scaling function is provided which smoothly approaches the minimum and maximum of the system's dynamic range for providing an aesthetically pleasing enhancement while maintaining true color. In a forensic embodiment, a portion of the image can be selected in RGB color space and normalized, to substantially the entire dynamic range, thereby emphasizing the area of interest, all without affecting the ratios of R, G and B for maintaining true color.
