Abstract: A finger movement detection method is disclosed in which a
fingerprint area and a barycentric position of the area are obtained for a
current sensor image (S21), and an area near the barycentric position
is divided into a plurality of small blocks. An image area that agrees
with a fingerprint image is searched for, for each of the small blocks
with respect to the fingerprint area in a previous sensor image. A
candidate vector is obtained from a deviation between the position of
the small block in the current sensor image and the position of the
image area in the previous sensor image corresponding to the small
block (S22). A candidate vector with the highest matching degree
between the fingerprint images in the current and previous sensor
images is selected from the candidate vectors to obtain a detected
vector (S23), and the detected vector is corrected to exclude an
influence of erroneous detection and to control a movement of a pointer
(S24).

progressively reduced threshold for each successive thresholded image of the sequence;
processing each of said thresholded images to removed components of said images not
corresponding to potential spots; sequentially combining said processed thresholded
images to form a combined image such that a spot in an image with a lower threshold is
not included in said combined image if a corresponding spot in an image with a higher
threshold is detected; and generating said grid data to substantially separate spots in said

Abstract: A process and apparatus for exploitation and liquefaction of natural gas in offshore stranded gas reserves. Two ordinary nautical vessels are used to produce, store and unload LPG and LNG. Typical front end processing is performed on the first vessel. The treated inlet gas is transported to the second vessel where the stream goes through liquefaction and storage until it is offloaded to a transport vessel for shipment. The liquefaction process utilizes two refrigerant cycles that utilize two expanded refrigerants, at least one of which is circulated in a gas phase refrigeration cycle. The refrigerants and the inlet gas stream are transported between the two vessels by the use of piping. Electricity can be generated to provide power for the compression sections of the refrigeration cycles. Turbines, engines, or boilers from the vessels can be used for generating electricity since they are no longer needed for locomotion purposes.
