Title: Method and apparatus for cold grinding
Inventor: BOCHMANN KLAUS
IPC: B02C19/18
Filed: 1989-10-04
Abstract: Fluidized-bed counter-jet mills are gas-jet mills with which extremely fine milling results can be produced with very little wear and tear. An improvement in the milling results can be achieved by cooling the gas jets with a refrigerant, but the improvement that can be achieved is not substantial and the consumption of refrigerant is very high. In order to lower the consumption of refrigerant while considerably improving the fineness of the milled material, the coarse material which is separated by the grader of the mill is cooled by the refrigerant within the fluidized-bed counter-jet mill and fed back into the milling chamber. Liquid nitrogen is the preferred refrigerant with which the sump of the mill is cooled.

Title: Drying and heating of polyamide granules
Inventor: TISCHENDORF KLAUS JUERGEN
IPC: F26B17/14
Filed: 1990-07-12
Abstract: Polyamide granules are dried and heated by feeding a suspension of granules in water into a sieve (1), where the bulk of the water is removed, and then into a tower dryer (10), where they are deposited in bed form and then freed of the remaining water while moving in plug flow under the force of gravity with a counter-current inert gas stream at from 70 DEG  to 200 DEG  C. The tower dryer possesses an inlet at the top (11) and outlet at the bottom (34) for the granules and also feed lines (20, 22, 31) for the inert gas. To achieve a uniform degree of drying of the granules, the inert gas is divided on entry into the tower dryer at a point between the drying zone and the heating zone into a stream which flows radially inward into the bed of granules on the one hand and a stream which flows radially inward and outward on the other. In this way the inert gas is distributed particularly uniformly and the granules are dryable in a very short drying zone down to a water content of 0.0001 kg of water/kg of polymer. The lower, conically tapered area of the tower dryer-bin 30-ensures a uniform rate of descent of the granules and hence a uniform solid-phase condensation with a favorable molecular weight distribution. The tower dryer (10) is followed by a fluidized bed cooler (41) in which the granules are cooled with air to <50 DEG  C.

Title: Method and apparatus for filtering noise from a digital image
Inventor: BAGGS SCOTT CLINTON
IPC: G06T5/00
Filed: 2002-09-24
Granted: 2005-09-21
Abstract: As is known in the art, it becomes progressively difficult to identify an image region as being caused by noise as the area of that image region increases. The present invention encompasses the discovery that image data associated with smaller noise regions tends to mirror image data associated with larger noise regions. In accordance with the present invention, known techniques are used to accurately identify smaller noise regions. The image data extracted from these smaller noise regions is then used to aid in the identification of larger noise regions. Accordingly, the present invention increases the area of noise regions capable of being accurately identified compared to prior art noise identification techniques. Once large and small noise regions have been identified, the noise regions can be filtered using techniques known in the art.
