Abstract: Disclosed are an apparatus and method for treating organic waste to reduce treatment costs and period, enable environmentally friendly treatment without causing bad smell or waste water, and thereby prepare an organic combust with a high quality and a liquid fertilizer with a high concentration. The apparatus includes a sealable reaction vessel including an inlet through which an organic waste and a reactive additive are injected, an outlet through which a treated substance is discharged as reactive gas, a stirrer to stir contents of the reaction vessel, and a liquid fertilizer producer to condense the reactive gas discharged from the gas outlet with a cooling solution and thereby produce a liquid fertilizer, while gradually increasing the concentration of fertilizer components of the cooling solution.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an image processing method intended for correcting the distortions created by the instability of the high-voltage supply circuit in a cathode-ray tube display device. The corrections are made to the video content of the images to be displayed. They consist in characterizing the image distortions created by the high-voltage supply circuit of the cathode-ray tube, then in determining, for each of the images to be displayed, the distortions affecting them, and finally in generating precorrected images having the reverse distortions. According to the invention, to characterize the distortions created by the high-voltage supply circuit, a model capable of delivering, as a function of the video signal of the images to be displayed, a signal representative of the variations in the output voltage of the high-voltage supply circuit while these images are being displayed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of processing video images which is intended to correct the distortions created by the instability of the high voltage circuit of the cathode ray tube display device during the displaying of the images. It is more particularly intended for correcting the global zoom and the local zoom affecting the images displayed by the cathode ray tube device.
