| 20110253807 | PRESSURE SWIRL ATOMIZER WITH CLOSURE ASSIST - A pressure swirl atomizer includes a nozzle having an exit orifice and a plurality of tangential swirl channels and a pintle that is movable within a pintle bearing between a closed position that closes the exit orifice and an open position that opens the exit orifice. The atomizer also has a pole piece having a channel, and the pole piece and the pintle are separated by an air gap when the pintle is in the closed position. A space between the pintle and the pintle bearing, the air gap, and the channel together form at least a part of a return path. Fluid from the tangential swirl channels drains through the return path when the pintle is in the closed position. To open the atomizer, a solenoid generates a magnetic force when energized, attracting the pintle toward the pole piece into the open position. A check valve disposed in the return path generates a fluid back pressure when the solenoid is de-energized to push the pintle toward the closed position. The fluid back pressure helps prevent the pintle from getting stuck in the open position. | 10-20-2011 |

A third downsampled image is grabbed with an offset based on the displacement. The first and third downsampled images are lined up and cropped. If the camera system itself is moving, moving targets or other objects may be detected by parallax from the first and third downsampled images. In a second exemplary embodiment a block or feature is selected in the visual scene and then a first downsampled image is acquired. After a delay the motion of the block or feature is determined. A second downsampled image is acquired with an offset based on the motion of the block or feature. The first and second downsampled images are lined up and cropped. If the camera system itself is moving, moving targets or other objects may be detected by parallax from the first and second downsampled images. | 02-09-2012 |
