Patent number: 9336571Abstract: In a method of skin tone optimization in a color gamut mapping system, an image signal is first transformed from a predetermined color domain to an HSV color domain for generating an HSV image signal. Next, a skin tone optimization is performed on the HSV image signal for generating an adjusted saturation gain. Then, a color enhancement is performed on the HSV image signal according to the adjusted saturation gain and a color shift signal so as to generate a color enhancement signal. Finally, the color enhancement signal is transformed from the HSV color domain to the predetermined color domain.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2014Date of Patent: May 10, 2016Assignee: FOCALTECH SYSTEMS CO., LTD.Inventors: Hung-Chu Wu, Edward Jan-Ruei Lin

Patent number: 6842119Abstract: A method of detecting damage to a structural member which is part of a working arm of a working apparatus, which arm is moveable relative to a body of the apparatus by an actuator. In use, the arm carries a load at another end thereof. The method including the steps of locating in or on the structural member in a position which is liable to damage, at least one filament. So long as the filament remains undamaged, a signal is transmitted along the length of the filament. In the event of an interruption of the transmitted signal, a fault signal is generated. The fault signal is used to disable operation of the actuator. The method is particularly useful for working arms made from light weight composite materials in the form of a matrix of fibers in a resin material which is susceptible to impact damage which may not be visible.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2003Date of Patent: January 11, 2005Assignee: J. C. Bamford Excavators, LimitedInventors: Andrew David Nurse, Lee Edward Jan Styger

Publication number: 20030213807Abstract: A container has a polymer body providing an enclosed volume in which in use fluid is contained. The body including an engagement formation from which, in use, an item, such as a particulate filter, depends within the enclosed volume. The container includes at a position below the engagement formation, a support formation formed integrally with the body of the container to support the item from below at least when the container becomes hot.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 1, 2003Publication date: November 20, 2003Applicant: J.C.

Publication number: 20030214072Abstract: A method of molding a container by rotational molding in which molding material is introduced into a mold cavity, and the mold is rotated about at least one axis of rotation. Prior to introducing the molding material, a dividing member is located in the mold cavity to divide the mold cavity into at least two cavities. When the molding material is subsequently introduced and the mold rotated, molding material coats the member so that the member becomes an integral part of the container and provides first and second separated volumes within the container. In use, fluid contained in the first volume is maintained separate from fluid in the second volume.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 30, 2003Publication date: November 20, 2003Applicant: J. C.
