Abstract: It is intended to reduce capacity of an image memory used for rotation of image data, and to shorten processing time.      The image data rotating method uses an image memory capable of storing n × n pixels, and, for consecutive two pages in image data with the same size of a plurality of pages to be rotated, reads image data in a former page written in said image memory from each storage area at each address of said image memory in a predetermined order of reading according to the angle of 90 degrees to be rotated every k pixels for one line and every k lines for all lines; and writes image data in the latter page in the same storage area at the same address of said image memory in the predetermined order.

Granted: 2002-07-02
Abstract: The primary object of this invention is to prevent data from being sent to a path incapable of transfer or of poor transfer efficiency at data transfer.  The central processing unit, the main memory unit, and a plurality of storage devices for memorizing data, and a plurality of data processing devices are connected, and the data is transferred mutually between the storage devices and the data processing devices without passing through the central processing unit or the main memory unit. To achieve the object, the apparatus is provided with the data transfer control module that identifies the capability/incapability of data transfer based on the physical positions of the plurality of storage devices constituting the logical volume, the physical positions of data processing devices, and the transfer paths incapable of data transfer, and the volume management module that specifies a combination of single or plural storage devices capable of data transfer based on the physical positions of the plurality of storage devices, the physical positions of data processing devices, and the transfer paths capable of data transfer.
Patent CA-2265294-C (CA)
Inventor: LEWIS THOMAS E
IPC: G03F7/09
Filed: 1999-03-11
Granted: 2003-01-07
Abstract: The performance-limiting effects of thermal breakdown on ablation-type lithographic printing plates are overcome by rendering the ink-accepting surface largely impervious to the effects of debris originating with the surface layer of the printing member, or by discouraging the formation of harmful debris altogether. In one approach, the ink-accepting surface is a highly crosslinked polymer. The resulting cured matrix exhibits a sufficient degree of three-dimensional bonding to resist melting, softening, or chemical degradation as a result of the imaging process. Alternatively, an intervening layer, disposed between the imaging layer and the surface layer, prevents the surface layer from undergoing significant thermal degradation in response to imaging radiation or ablation of the underlying imaging layer, and is also formulated to produce little debris or debris having an affinity for ink and/or fountain solution similar to the affinity of the substrate --e.g., which does not reduce the oleophilicity of the underlying ink-accepting surface. Following imaging, the remnants of the insulating layer are removed along with the surface layer where the plate received imaging radiation.

Title: Process and apparatus for upgrading hydrocarbon feeds containing sulfur, metals, and asphaltenes
Inventor: RETTGER PHILIP B
IPC: C10G67/04
Filed: 1999-08-30
Granted: 2008-08-05
Abstract: Upgrading of a hydrocarbon feed containing sulfur, metals, and asphaltenes involves applying the feed to a distillation column for producing a substantially asphaltene-free, and metal-free distillate fraction and a non-distilled fraction containing sulfur, asphaltenes, and metals. At least some of the substantially asphaltene-free, and metal-free distillate fraction is converted to a hydrogen donor diluent. The non-distilled fraction is processed in a solvent deasphalting unit for producing a deasphalted oil stream and an asphaltene stream. After a combined stream is formed from the hydrogen donor diluent and the deasphalted oil stream, the combined stream is thermally cracked forming a thermally cracked stream that is applied to the distillation column.

Title: Fluid treatment system and process
Inventor: MAARSCHALKERWEERD JAN
IPC: B08B9/02
Filed: 1994-03-04
Granted: 2005-08-02
Abstract: A fluid treatment system includes one or more radiation sources arranged in an irradiation zone within a treatment zone through which fluid to be treated passes and is irradiated. The irradiation zone has a closed cross-section to maintain the fluid within a predefined maximum distance from the radiation source. Preferably, the irradiation zone comprises a reduced cross-sectional area perpendicular to the direction of fluid flow and thus the fluid flew velocity is increased through the irradiation zone. This allows the fluid to enter the treatment zone at relatively low speed, traverse the irradiation zone at high speed and exit the treatment zone again at relatively low speed to minimize the loss of hydraulic head throughout the system. Fluid entering the treatment zone passes through an inlet transition region wherein the cross-sectional area is reduced prior to entering the irradiation zone and fluid eating the irradiation zone passes through an outlet transition region wherein the cross-sectional area is increased. Each transition region is designed to reduce hydraulic head losses as the fluid flow velocity is increased and decreased. In the irradiation zone, radiation sources are mounted on radiation modules which are arranged to provide improved accessibility for maintenance. The radiation modules may also be provided with cleaning assemblies which are operable to remove materials fouling the radiation sources in situ while the radiation sources are in the irradiation zone.
