| 20110149308 | RED-GREEN-BLUE TO MONOCHROME COLOR CONVERSION - Systems and associated methods provide for converting an RGB color image to a grayscale image via a lookup table of correction values. The lookup table is generated and used to compensate for errors in converting the color image to the grayscale image. The lookup table is generated by generating a reference image having pixels with color values in the RGB color space, converting a first copy of the reference image to a grayscale reference image via interpolation, and converting a second copy of the reference image to an intermediate image. The intermediate image comprises chrominance and luminance values (e.g., YCbCR or YCgCo). The chrominance values are removed from the intermediate image. The intermediate image is then compared to the grayscale reference image to generate the correction values. The lookup table may then be applied to a grayscale image that has been converted from the RGB color image. | 06-23-2011 |

| 20080199279 | Chain Piler Having Forwardly Curved Profile - A sugar cane chain piler includes a plurality of endless roller chains that are supported so as to define a forwardly curved profile. A head shaft supports a plurality of transversely spaced sprockets at top region of the piler which are aligned with a plurality of sprockets carried by a tail shaft located at a lower region of the piler. Each endless chain includes a plurality of conveyor tines that project outwardly from the chain. The head shaft is driven so that the tines engage cane stalks by rolling the stalks backwards into a pile being created as the loader vehicle carrying the piler is driven forward. | 08-21-2008 |
| 20080199280 | Sugar Cane Loader Equipped With C-Shaped Chain Piler And Multiple Rails For Guiding Grab During Loading - A sugar cane loader is provided with a C-shaped chain piler including a grab pocket flanked by a pair of guide rails and including a third guide rail located at a central lower region of the grab pocket. The shape of the chain piler is such as to increase the movement of the stalks for better cleaning during piling, while the guide rails cause the grab to be moved forward during loading such that the cane stalks are moved ahead of tines projecting from the piler chains so that the tines and/or chains are not damaged when the loaded grab is lifted. | 08-21-2008 |

| 20100288989 | Fence System - A fence system including a T-shaped pole member having a receiving surface and a leg, an L-shaped rail member, and a facing member. The leg of the pole member has a plurality of spaced apart hole members capable of receiving a bendable raceway. The receiving surface of the pole member has a hole capable of providing means for pivoting and affixing the pole member to the rail or to the facing member. The rail member has an elliptical hole capable of providing means for pivoting and affixing the rail member to the receiving surface of the pole member. The combination of the pivotally affixed pole member and the rail member is positioned and arranged to be capable of adjusting the fence system to non-level terrains. The combination of the pole member and the rail member is positioned and arranged to be capable of receiving the raceway between adjacent holes, independent of the terrain and independent of the positioning of a plurality of the poles. | 11-18-2010 |

| 20080214370 | REINFORCED CORD WELL LIFTING BAR ASSEMBLY - An exercise bar cord impingement assembly permits exercise in two modes, defined in terms of how cord anchoring is arranged. It also permits exercise to be conducted either with a stretchable cord and handgrip together connected to the bar's body or just the stretchable cord itself so connected. In either case, there are slots in the bar's body to slide the cord through. Specially shaped wells or nests accommodate impingement of the elastic cord and firm handgrip emplacement. The ends of the bar's body are preferably shaped into pipe bowl configuration disposed to insure a good fit and avoid torque. | 09-04-2008 |
| 20100144502 | PUSH-UP / CHIN-UP EXERCISE ASSEMBLY - An exercise assembly includes an exercise handle with a grip base suitable for resting on a floor, and a grip elevated above the grip base. A user can situate the grip bases of a pair of the exercise handles on the floor, grasp their grips, and then perform push-ups. The grip bases can also be mounted to the top of a door or to other overhead structure, and the user can then grasp their grips to perform chin-ups. Preferably, this is done by providing a cradle which mounts to the door or other overhead structure, wherein the exercise handles may be firmly (but removably) nested into the cradles to mount them to the structure. The exercise handles may also bear passages or attachments for receiving elastic (or inelastic) cables for use in performing further exercises. | 06-10-2010 |

| 20100241255 | Method of Semi-Automatic Ballast Replacement - The present invention relates to a semi-automatic method of replacing a ballast within a lighting control system, such that the new replacement ballast can operate in the same manner as the ballast that was replaced. If multiple ballasts in a lighting control system are removed from the system and multiple new ballasts are installed to replace those ballasts, any operational configurations such as group configurations or area information associated with each removed (missing) ballast must be assigned to the proper new replacement ballast. The semi-automatic replacement method relies upon the operational configurations of the removed ballast to help a user identify which new ballast should replace each missing ballast. | 09-23-2010 |
