Inventor: LAFFERTY RICHARD
IPC: H04N1/62
Filed: 2003-02-19
Abstract: A method of correcting red-eye features in a digital image includes generati ng a list of possible features by scanning through each pixel in the image searching for saturation and/or lightness profiles characteristic of red-eye features. For each feature in the list, an attempt is made to find an isolat ed area of correctable pixels which could correspond to a red-eye feature. Each successful attempt is recorded in a list of areas. Each area is then analyse d to calculate statistics and record properties of that area, and validated using the calculated statistics and properties to determine whether or not that area is caused by red-eye. Areas not caused by red-eye and overlapping areas are removed from the list. Each area remaining is corrected to reduce the effect of red-eye. More than one type of feature may be identified in th e initial search for features.

Title: Agricultural silo auger system and method
Inventor: LAMBERT CHARLES F JR
IPC: A01F25/18
Filed: 2005-05-25
Abstract: An auger assembly that has three individual augers that function cooperatively to transport silage within a silo. Specifically, the auger assembly is used to manipulate silage during the loading and unloading of a silo. The first and third augers have the same flighting and rotate in the same direction. The second auger is positioned between the first and third augers and rotates in the opposite direction and has flighting that is the opposite of the flighting of the first and third augers. The individual augers rotate so that silage is moved along parallel with the longitudinal axes of the augers.  The design of the auger assembly allows the assembly to transition from a loading to an unloading configuration by electronically reversing the direction of rotation of the individual augers without mechanically altering the auger assembly configuration.

Abstract: An extract of Chinese blackberry (Rubus suavissimus) has been found to inhibit angiogenesis, and two active fractions isolated. Gallic acid was shown to be one of the active anti-angiogenic compounds by an in vitro human angiogenesis model. Aqueous extracts from other plants either known or found to have gallic acid were also found to have anti-angiogenic activity. Various derivatives of gallic acid were found to inhibit angiogenesis. The extract from Chinese blackberry also slowed the growth of a pancreatic tumor and of corneal neovascularization in rats. Extracts from pomegranate were shown to inhibit angiogenesis in fat tissue. Extracts from Rubus spp, and other plants with gallic acid, and gallic acid and its derivatives will be useful for treating various diseases associated with neovascularization, including diabetic retinopathy, psoriasis, tumors, obesity, cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, etc.
