Title: Real-time capture and transformation of hemispherical video images to images in rectilinear coordinates
Inventor: GRINDSTAFF GENE A
IPC: H04N5/262
Filed: 2007-05-03
Abstract: A method of transforming an input image from a hemispherical source to an output image in rectilinear coordinates is disclosed. The method includes receiving data representative of an input image originating from a hemispherical camera and having a size defined by an input image height and an input image width. Once the data is received, an output image width and output image height representative of a size of a in rectilinear coordinates output image is calculated based on the size of the input image. The in rectilinear coordinates output image is then generated by mapping input image pixels to locations within the width and height of the output image, without reference to the optical characteristics of the hemispherical camera.

Title: Systeme de prevention de rupture de reservoir de transformateur
Inventor: SEO HEUNG-SEOG
IPC: H01F27/02
Filed: 2006-10-10
Abstract: Système de prévention de rupture, permettant d'augmenter la limite de déformation d'un réservoir de transformateur, et évitant ainsi essentiellement les augmentations soudaines de pression, qui repose sur une augmentation du nombre de disques de rupture par unité de surface, moyennant quoi on évite la rupture du réservoir partout où un arc est produit dans le réservoir. Le système comprend un support installé dans le réservoir et soutenant une plaque de blindage pour faire en sorte que celle-ci ne soit pas directement fixée au réservoir. Plusieurs disques de rupture sont montés sur des tuyaux qui s'étendent vers l'extérieur depuis le réservoir, aux fins de rupture lorsque la pression du réservoir atteint un niveau préétabli. Plusieurs réservoirs de décharge sont installés verticalement en un point voisin du transformateur, couplés aux tuyaux. Enfin, une jauge d'huile est montée en un point inférieur dans chaque réservoir de décharge, produisant un signal lorsque l'huile d'isolation s'écoule dans les réservoirs de décharge.

Abstract: Ultrasonic spray deposition (USD) used to deposit a base layer on the substrate, followed by chemical vapor infiltration (CVI) to introduce a binder phase that creates a composite coating with good adherence of the binder to the initial phase particles and adherence of the composite coating to the substrate, is disclosed. We have used this process to create coatings consisting of cubic boron nitride (cBN), deposited using USD, and titanium nitride (TiN) applied using CVI in various embodiments. This process can be used with many materials not usable with other processes, including nitrides, carbides, carbonitrides, borides, oxides, sulphides and suicides. In addition, other binding or post-deposition treatment processes can be applied as alternatives to CVI, depending on the substrate, the coating materials, and the application requirements of the coating. Coatings can be applied to a variety of substrates including those with complex geometries. The application also describes apparatus or equipment designs used to perform ultrasonic spray deposition.

Abstract: The purpose of the invention described in this document is to disclose a novel method using mixtures to change the viscosity of both light and heavy petroleums, by decreasing or increasing said viscosity. The methods derived from this invention are useful at ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure. The active component of the invention is dopamine, a compound that combined with other substances enables a change in the fluidity properties of petroleum, an increase in the electric charge properties of the mixtures and solutions and the dissolution of insoluble compounds in water or aqueous solutions. Some of the mixtures of this invention have been applied to modifying proton mobility, whereby significant increases in particular caused by the presence of metals chosen to bring about this purpose, can be detected within these mixtures, by measuring the electric charge. The experiments which led to this invention demonstrated that the juice obtained from any part of the banana plant, whereof the chemical analysis includes dopamine and other compounds such as quinonas, carotenes and terpenes, is the cause of the effects found, in particular effects on the electric properties and on dissolving metals and metal compounds.

Abstract: When terminating generation by a fuel cell (3) in a fuel cell system (1), an amount of a raw fuel material introduced to a reforming catalyst (2a) of a reformer (2) is reduced. Here, before the temperature of the reforming catalyst (2a) is lowered to the un-reformed gas generation temperature, an amount of water supplied to the reforming catalyst (2a) is controlled to increase the temperature of the reforming catalyst (2a). Thus, upon termination of electricity generation in the fuel cell (3), no un-reformed gas is generated and the reformed gas is supplied to the fuel cell (3).
