  • Publication number: 20160217559
    Abstract: Systems, methods and computer readable media for two-dimensional image processing based on third dimension data are described. Some implementations can include a method comprising obtaining first image data having a plurality of pixel values and obtaining second image data corresponding to each pixel value in the first image data. The method can also include receiving an indication of one or more control points in the first image data. The method can further include selectively filtering the first image data based on a distance from the control point and on one or more data values in the second image data corresponding to the corresponding control point. The method can also include outputting the selectively filtered first image data.

  • Patent number: 9398822
    Abstract: A container (1) having a lower part (2) and a lid (3) which covers the lower part (3), wherein the lid (3) has a closure (4) that can be moved from a first position into at least one further position, wherein the lower part (3) is fully closed by a covering (5), and the closure (4) is configured such that at least one opening (13) is realized in the covering (5) when the closure (4) is moved from the first position into the at least one further position. Further movement of the closure (4) to a third position exposes the at least one opening (13), allowing access to a medium stored in the container (1).

  • Patent number: 8069960
    Abstract: A brakeshoe having a backing plate formed with a seat recess opening at a face, is provided with a brakeshoe wear sensor held in place by a U-shaped spring clip. The clip is formed with a pair of legs extending generally parallel to each other and spaced so as to fit around the sensor and a front end extending between the legs and joining same together. The legs and front end fit wholly in the seat recess between the sensor and the backing plate and bear on the sensor and backing plate. A bent-out tab projects transversely from each of the legs and bears outside the recess on the face of the backing plate.

  • Publication number: 20100000826
    Abstract: The invention relates to a spring-clip (4) serving as a holder (1) for a brakeshoe wear sensor (2) in a brakeshoe backing plate (3) that is designed substantially in a U-shape and holds the wear sensor (2) in sections in a corresponding seat (5) of the brakeshoe backing plate (3) in such a manner that it cannot be lost in that parts of legs of the spring clip (4) rest on the seat (5) and on the wear sensor (2), in which the invention provides that at least one bent tab (6 and 7) projects from the spring clip (4) in sections and bear at least partially on the face of the brakeshoe backing plate (3) when the wear sensor (2) is inserted into the seat (5) by the spring clip (4).

  • Publication number: 20070196028
    Abstract: A multi-purpose digital editing tool with background processing which permits different enhancements from a single tool, or multiple tools from a single enhancement. The user may exchange enhancements while preserving an applied tool, or exchange the tool while preserving an applied enhancement. The user may select a first area in a preview and assign a first enhancement to that user-selected area, and then have the option to select a second area in the preview, or assign a second enhancement. The first enhancement may be voided when a second enhancement is assigned. Similarly, the first area selection may be voided when a second area is selected.

  • Publication number: 20060219487
    Abstract: A brake-shoe wear sensor has a sensor element capable of being worn away for generating different electrical outputs in accordance with wear and at least one electrical wire connected to and extending outwardly away from the sensor element so that a controller can be connected to the sensor element via the wire. A one-piece housing has an inner end molded unitarily around and encapsulating the sensor element and an outer end spaced therefrom and molded unitarily around and encapsulating an outer end portion of the wire.
