  • Publication number: 20060007240
    Abstract: This invention is directed to a system and method for creating characterization information and a correction map from a first display grid that can be transmitted and used by a second display grid. Computer readable instructions embodied in a computer readable medium calibrate a first display grid and create an ICC color profile and correction map from said calibration information, such that an image to be displayed across an entire display grid which is segmented into portions corresponding to each display device in the display grid is displayed with uniform luminance and color across the entire display grid. The invention can then store the correction map and characterization information and send the information to a second display device for it to use. Alternatively, the calibration or characterization information can be associated with an image file and sent to a second location for display.

  • Publication number: 20040111435
    Abstract: This invention is directed to a system and method for selecting composition components or composition formulations for manufacturing plastics or other articles according to desirable selection criteria. This invention includes a computer readable medium containing a set of computer readable instructions and a components database where the set of computer readable instructions allows for receiving selection criteria, comparing the selection criteria with the database information, selecting composition components or composition formulations within a predetermined range of the selection criteria and displaying the selected components or formulations on a color correct monitor so that the user can view the search results without having to view actual physical samples.

  • Patent number: 6404112
    Abstract: The electric lamp/reflector unit includes a reflector body (1) having a reflector portion (2) with a concave reflecting surface (3), and a neck-shaped portion (5), both surrounding an optical axis (4). The unit includes an electric lamp (10) which is provided with a lamp vessel (11) having a cavity (13) wherein an electric light source (14) is arranged. The cavity (13) is provided with an infrared-reflecting and visible light-transmitting coating (15). The electric lamp (10) has a first (23) and a second (24) end portion which are arranged opposite each other and provided with a seal, through which seals respective current conductors (23; 24) connected via embedded metal foils (17; 18) to the electric light source (14) issue from the lamp vessel (11) to the exterior.

  • Patent number: 4269701
    Abstract: A cyclone separator for separating heavy particles and dust particles from fibre material. The separator includes a cyclone housing (2), an inlet tube (9) that opens substantially tangentially into the housing (2), an overflow pipe (6) for the removal of cleaned light-weight fibre material, and an underflow outlet (4) for discharging heavy particles and dust particles. To improve dust removal, a sieve member 7, 8 is arranged inside housing (2) substantially co-axial with the housing axis and into which inlet tube (9) opens tangentially. Additionally, pin-studded or spike-studded strips are mounted on an inside face of the cyclone housing or of the sieve member to preliminarily open up the fibre material. A coaxial sieve member having flat bars with vertical upper portions and inwardly-curved lower portions that bound a co-axial lower sieve opening is also provided.
