IPC: B01D53/26
Filed: 2002-01-14
Abstract: Air dryer has compressor unit (3), regulating system (8), and thermal accumulator associated with evaporator (5). The accumulator is designed to discharge itself by transferring the accumulated cooling to the compressed air. The compressor unit is of the type having adjustable flow between a non null minimal value and a maximum value.   Regulating system is associated with compressor unit so as to regulate compressed cooling flow as a function of thermal load of evacuated compressed air so as to match cooling power of cooling circuit with cooling power required at evaporator to ensure compressed air drying. Thermal accumulator is associated with the evaporator. It is sized so as to be able to accumulate during a predetermined accumulation time the excess cooling produced when the cooling circuit operates at its minimum cooling power, so that the cooling power required at the evaporator is close to zero. An Independent claim is also included for the method for using an air dryer.

Abstract: Multidimensional lithographs which impart the
illusions of depth and/or motion to a viewer are prepared
by constructing and sequencing a plurality of electronic
pages, preferably four or more; rasterizing, compressing
and converting each page; interlacing the pages in a
desired sequence; outputting the interlaced frames to an
imaging device; and producing a lithographic separation
from the imaging device. In the rasterization of each
frame, nonbinary pixels are created that correspond to the
resolution of the line count of the lenticular lens that
will ultimately be applied to a print of the lithographic
times the number of frames in the lithographic separation.
The frames are compressed to an amount equal to the
reciprocal of the number of frames from which the
lithographic separation is prepared. In the converting
step, the nonbinary pixels of the compressed frames are
converted to individual colour plates of binary pixels.
The multidimensional lithographic separations are free of
moire and screen interference.
