Title: Method and system for determining colour from an image
Inventor: LINGS BENJAMIN BUCHANAN
IPC: G06V10/56
Filed: 2011-01-17
Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to the determination of the colour of a colour sample from an image of the colour sample. In one embodiment a colour sample capture card is provided having printed thereon colour samples of known colour (for example, XYZ tri-stimulus values). An image of the test colour sample is then captured using domestically available equipment, such as a consumer digital camera or camera-equipped mobile telephone, the image also containing the colour sample capture card. In one embodiment the image is then transmitted to a remote colour determination service for colour sample colour determination. Regression analysis is then performed using the RGB colour samples in the image and known XYZ colours thereof to characterise the colour capture response of the image capture device. Having characterised the image capture device the XYZ colour of the unknown colour sample can be determined from the RGB colour thereof in the image. A clustering algorithm is employed to identify if there is more than one colour in the unknown colour sample.

Abstract: Receiver diversity in a wireless device is controlled in response to operating conditions, transmission requirements, and control settings. The control of diversity reduces power consumption by enabling receive diversity on given conditions.  Operating conditions, transmission requirements, and control settings are used separately or used in conjunction to determine whether benefits of multi-antenna receive diversity, such as higher link capacity, higher data throughput, lower transmit power, and lower error rate, warrant the higher power cost of the diversity.

Abstract: Des procédés et un appareil servent à stabiliser la production de pâte à partir de copeaux de bois et, plus particulièrement, à stabiliser le débit de masse sèche de copeaux de bois à introduire à partir d'une source de déversement vers un conduit de raffinage, par une première étape de traitement de copeaux de bois en amont, et comprennent les mesures en ligne des propriétés des copeaux de bois, comme la teneur en humidité et la densité en vrac, avant l'étape de traitement, pour dériver les données de débit initial de masse sèche associées aux copeaux de bois entrant l'étape de traitement. L'approche de stabilisation comprend également un modèle de contrôle prévisible capable de dériver, des données de débit initial de masse sèche, les données de point de consigne de vitesse courante pour un distributeur de copeaux à vis présent à une entrée du conduit de raffinage, conformément à un taux de production prédéterminé. Par conséquent, la vitesse du distributeur d'alimentation peut être modulée selon les données de point de consigne en vue de stabiliser substantiellement le débit de masse sèche des copeaux de bois distribués à l'entrée du conduit de raffinage. Ainsi, la variabilité des propriétés des copeaux de bois peut être compensée à l'entrée du conduit de raffinage, de sorte à améliorer l'efficacité énergétique en diminuant la consommation énergétique à l'étape de raffinage.

Title: Compositions and methods for well completions
Inventor: MICHAUX MICHEL
IPC: C09K8/48
Filed: 2011-12-07
Abstract: Well-cementing compositions for use in high-pressure, high-temperature (HPHT) wells are often densified, and contain weighting agents such as hematite, ilmenite, barite and hausmannite. The weighting agents are usually finely divided to help keep them suspended in the cement slurry. At high temperatures, finely divided weighting agents based on metal oxides react with the calcium-silicate-hydrate binder in set Portland, cement, leading to cement deterioration. Finely divided weighting agents based on metal sulfates are inert with respect to calcium silicate hydrate; consequently, set-cement stability is preserved.
