Abstract: A method for operating a wood fired appliance, in one aspect, generally includes automatically moving a baffle to a lowered closed position from the raised open position in response to a top loading door being moved to a closed position to close the opening in a top wall. The baffle may also be automatically inhibited from being maintained in the raised opened position when the top loading door is disposed in the closed position. For example, a cam may be tripped or activated by lowering of the top loading door to cause the baffle to rotate about an axis and fall under the force of gravity to the lowered closed position, and the cam may inhibit the baffle from being raised when the top loading door is closed.

Abstract: Foreground and background pixels designated by a user are used as reference pixels. Ones of three-dimensional divided color spaces to which the reference pixels belong are used as reference divided color spaces. The color distance between each of the reference pixels and a respective one of adjacent pixels is calculated, and further it is determined whether the adjacent pixels belong to the reference divided color spaces. The costs of the adjacent pixels are calculated based on the foregoing calculated color distances and also based on the weighting based on the determination of belongingness to the reference divided color spaces. One of the adjacent pixels exhibiting the smallest cost is defined as a foreground or background pixel. The color distance calculation, the determination of belongingness, the cost calculation and the definition are repeated with the defined adjacent pixel used as a reference pixel, thereby extracting a foreground area from an image at a high speed.

Title: Wafer bonding device and wafer bonding method
Inventor: TSUNO TAKESHI
IPC: B81C1/00
Filed: 2009-02-19
Granted: 2015-09-08
Abstract: A wafer bonding method includes: holding a first substrate with an upper holding mechanism by applying a voltage to the upper holding mechanism; generating a bonded substrate by bonding the first substrate and a second substrate held with a lower holding mechanism; and dechucking the bonded substrate from the upper holding mechanism after a voltage which attenuates while alternating is applied to the upper holding mechanism. By applying the voltage which attenuates while alternating to the upper holding mechanism, residual attracting force between the bonded substrate and the upper holding mechanism is reduced, thereby enabling the bonded substrate to be dechucked from the holding mechanism more surely in a shorter time period. As a result, the first substrate and the second substrate can be bonded in a shorter time period.

Abstract: An electric current is passed through an acidic solution containing one or more soluble metal salts in an electrolytic cell divided by an anion exchange membrane. The acidic solution is fed into the cathode compartment whereby the passage of electric current at sufficient voltage causes the generation of hydrogen at the cathode. This gives rise to a localized very highly polarized region at the cathode resulting in a localized effective high relative pH. This causes the metal cation species to precipitate as a hydroxide (or oxide) species and electroadsorption/electrocoagulation causes the finely precipitated hydroxide (or oxide) species to adhere to the cathode. Electrodialytic transport of the liberated acid anions across the anion exchange membrane selectively removes the acid anions. Oxygen and hydrogen ions are formed by hydrolysis as the counter-reaction at the anode.  Hydrogen ions combine with the anions to regenerate sulfuric acid. This enables the recovery of cationic metal species within a solution in which the bulk pH would not ordinarily allow hydroxide formation, while simultaneously regenerating sulfuric acid. The anion exchange membrane keeps the acid anion separate from the metal and acid solution so as to enable the concentration and recovery of sulfuric acid.
