Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080312747SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR THE INSPECTION OF CYLINDERS - A system for inspecting cylinders according to various aspects of the present invention generally includes a roller assembly comprising a plurality of rollers configured to hold the cylinder. A light source illuminates the cylinder and a camera produces an image of at least a portion of the cylinder as the roller assembly rotates the cylinder about its longitudinal axis. A computer system is configured to control the roller assembly, light source, and camera and analyze the image to identify a defect associated with the cylinder.12-18-2008
20110007147SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR THE INSPECTION OF STENTS - A system and method for inspecting stents can involve an inspection camera to take an image of the stent and a computer system for analyzing the image to determine the presence of any coating defects. The determination can be made by masking out a portion of the stent, identifying deviations from a strut edge, and/or highlighting features protruding from a stent external boundary defining an outer diameter. The image can be taken after a focus feedback camera determines the position of the stent.01-13-2011

20110017574METHOD OF LUBRICATING A CONVEYOR BELT - The present invention relates to a method of lubricating a conveyor belt wherein a lubricant concentrate containing at least one fatty acid is employed in a dry lubrication process at a pH-value of <4. Afterwards, a liquid composition having a pH-value >5 is applied to the surface of the conveyor belt on which the lubricant concentrate has been applied earlier.01-27-2011
20110020558 DRY LUBRICATION METHOD EMPLOYING OIL-BASED LUBRICANTS - The present invention relates to a method of lubricating a conveyor belt wherein a lubricant concentrate containing at least one oil is employed in a dry lubrication process. Afterwards, a liquid composition having a pH-value ≧5 is applied to the surface of the conveyor belt on which the lubricant concentrate has been applied earlier.01-27-2011

20100171845USING A GRAPHICS PROCESSING UNIT TO CORRECT VIDEO AND AUDIO DATA - Described is a device (e.g., a cell phone incorporating a digital camera) that incorporates a graphics processing unit (GPU) to process image data in order to increase the quality of a rendered image. The processing power provided by a GPU means that, for example, an unacceptable pixel value (e.g., a pixel value associated with a malfunctioning or dead detector element) can be identified and replaced with a new value that is determined by averaging other pixel values. Also, for example, the device can be calibrated against benchmark data to generate correction factors for each detector element. The correction factors can be applied to the image data on a per-pixel basis. If the device is also adapted to record and/or play digital audio files, the audio performance of the device can be calibrated to determine correction factors for a range of audio frequencies.07-08-2010
