Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for recovering pure naphthalene from hot crude coke oven gas. The hot crude coke oven gas is directly cooled by means of sprinkling water directly thereon, and the naphthalene is recovered by subsequent filtering out of tar and other impurities, followed by cooling to obtain crystalline pure naphthalene. More specifically, after direct cooling of the hot crude coke oven gas, the gas is then guided through an electrofilter to be subsequently cooled in such a manner that the naphthalene contained in the crude coke oven gas is separated from the gaseous phase and is obtained in the form of pure naphthalene crystals without any required additional treatment.

IPC: H04N5/357
Filed: 2002-07-04
Abstract: A system controller controls a solid-state image pickup
device so as to read pixels at a predetermined pixel skip-reading-out
rate. During pixel skip-reading-out, the system
controller adds up, for example, four pixels to acquire a
value representative of a unit area for pixel skip-reading-out.
A space between adjoining ones of pixels to be added
up is set to, for example, a half of an inter-sample space,
whereby an MTF of an image signal representing added pixels,
which is attained at the sample rate, is set to 0.
Consequently, an aliasing noise can be eliminated and
deterioration in image quality can be prevented. Moreover,
since four pixels are added up irrespective of a pixel skip-reading-out
rate, a sensitivity will not vary.
