20110222737METHOD FOR MEASURING THE GROWTH OF LEAF DISKS OF PLANTS AND APPARATUS SUITED THEREFOR - Disclosed is a method and an apparatus for measuring the growth of leaf disks. The method comprises the following steps: a) Calibrating the capture system, b) capturing at least 2 images of a leaf disk, c) processing the image data, comprising i) segmenting the leaf disks by threshold segmentation, ii) multiple morphological erosion steps, iii) edge cleaning to remove the edge of the storage vessel, d) 3D reconstruction: generating a disparity map by means of a stereo algorithm, calculating a 3D surface model based on the previously determined calibration parameters from the disparity map, e) smoothing the previously obtained surface model, f) determining the growth rates from the time series of the areas. The apparatus comprises at least one camera, a lighting unit, a translation table in the X/Y plane for the camera and (infrared) lighting, storage vessels for leaf disks, and electronic evaluation and control units.09-15-2011

20080272729Assembly of a Motor Vehicle Body and Control Device of Such an Assembly - A control device is provided for an assembly of a motor vehicle body, which assembly can be moved between at least two positions, specifically at least between a position retracted to the maximum extent and a position deployed to the maximum extent, in particular a spoiler. The control device contains a first sensor which transmits a signal to an evaluation device, which determines the position of the assembly from the signal of the first sensor, in dependence on the rotational speed of a motor which serves to move the assembly, and a second sensor which monitors a deployed position of the assembly and transmits a corresponding signal to the evaluation device. The evaluation device corrects the signal provided by the first sensor when the assembly is at least temporarily located in the position monitored by the second sensor and the signal provided by the first sensor is outside a tolerance range.11-06-2008

20100160674PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF ISOCYANATES IN THE GAS PHASE - Meta-toluene-diisocyanate is produced by reacting meta-toluenediamine with phosgene in the gas phase. The meta-toluenediamine to be vaporized for use in this phosgenation process must contain less than 0.5 wt. % of toluenediamine residue, a total of less than 0.2 wt. % of ammonia and cycloaliphatic amines, and less than 20 ppm of heavy metals. At least 0.1 wt. % of the liquid meta-toluenediamine being to be vaporized must not be vaporized. This non-vaporized content of the meta-toluenediamine must not be fed to the phosgenation reactor.06-24-2010

20090149672Process for the production of aromatic discocyanates in the gas - Aromatic diisocyanates are produced by reacting in the gas phase the corresponding primary aromatic diamine with phosgene. The phosgene and the primary aromatic diamine are reacted within a mean residence time of from 0.05 to 15 seconds. The aromatic diamine used contains less than 0.05 mole % overall of aliphatic amine containing no keto groups, per mole of primary amino groups.06-11-2009

20100152484PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF ISOCYANATES IN THE GAS PHASE - Aromatic isocyanates are produced by reacting one or more aromatic primary amines with phosgene in the gas phase. The phosgene and primary aromatic amine(s) are reacted at a temperature above the boiling temperature of the amine(s) in a reactor having a reaction space which is essentially rotationally symmetric to the direction of flow. The flow fate, averaged over the cross-section, of the reaction mixture along the axis of the essentially rotationally symmetric reaction space in the section of the reaction space in which the conversion of the amine groups into isocyanate groups is between 4 and 80 % is not more than 8 m/sec. The flow rate averaged over the cross-section of the reaction mixture along the axis of the essentially rotationally symmetric reaction space in the section of the reaction space in which the conversion of the amine groups into isocyanate groups is 4 to 80 % is always below the flow rate averaged over the cross-section at the start of this section.06-17-2010

20090204846Automated Full Stripe Operations in a Redundant Array of Disk Drives - A system and method are provided for automating full stripe operations in a redundant data storage array. In a redundant storage device controller, a parity product is accumulated that is associated with an information stripe. The parity product is stored in controller memory in a single write operation. A stored parity product is then written in a storage device. The parity product may be accumulated in a RAID controller, stored in a RAID controller memory, and written in a RAID. For example, the controller may receive n data stripelets for storage. The parity product is accumulated by creating m parity stripelets, and the m parity stripelets are written into the controller memory in a single write operation. Alternately, the controller may receive (n+m−x) stripelets from a RAID with (n+m) drives, recover x stripelets, and write x stripelets into controller memory in a single write operation.08-13-2009
