Abstract: A chemical oxygen core for a chemical oxygen generator includes at least one layer of an oxygen-generating composition. In some examples, the at least one layer comprises includes a metal powder fuel, a transition metal oxide catalyst, and an oxygen source. In various examples, the at least one layer includes less than approximately 0.1 percent by weight of the transition metal oxide catalyst. In certain examples, a chemical oxygen generator includes a chemical oxygen core and a perforated metal covering surrounding the chemical oxygen core along a length of the chemical oxygen core. In some aspects, the perforated metal covering has an opening ratio of approximately 0 to 100 percent.

Abstract: Reproduction device, including registration means arranged to optically register an image portion that is to be registered of an image. The reproduction device includes electronic signal processing means arranged to process a registered image portion, and includes and/or is connectable with reproduction means arranged to reproduce a processed registered image portion. The reproduction device is provided with localisation means arranged to determine a position of an indication body that is moveable with respect to the image and with respect to at least a part of the reproduction device. The reproduction device is arranged to relate a position of the image portion that is to be registered to the position of the indication body.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for capturing a text based source image 5, 5A provided on an object 3 supported on a surface. Positioned above the object 3 is a camera 7 for capturing a view of the text based image 5, 5A. The camera 7, through lens 9 generates a focused image of at least part of the object 3 and transmits this image to a processor 11 for magnification of the image captured by the camera 7 to a size specified for display on a display device 15. In the processor 11 the magnification is effected to a rate that is controlled by the second predefined size for display 19, 19A of the font to appear on the display 15 and is independent of the first font size.
