Publication number: 20240114904Abstract: Peroxyformic acid compositions for removal of biofilm growth and other contaminants and impurities from industrial processing hard surfaces are disclosed. In particular, peroxyformic acid compositions may be dosed on site and/or generated in situ for the reduction and prevention of biofilms on the hard surfaces. Methods of employing the peroxyformic acid compositions for removal of biofilm growth and other impurities such as aldehydes and alcohols from industrial CO2 effluent are also disclosed which beneficially provide ambient biofilm control and break down more rapidly than other peracids, allowing for extended runs between CIP cleaning, including a reduction and/or elimination of cleaning of the scrubbers and other industrial surfaces.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 18, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: John Bolduc, Chris Nagel, Junzhong Li, Catherine Hanson, Peter Fernholz

Publication number: 20170310953Abstract: A method of determining the 3D positions of points on the surface of an object, the method comprising obtaining an images of an object from a first view point and from a second view point, fixed relative to the viewpoint of the first view point wherein the images comprise a matrix of pixels, each of the pixels having an associated pixel value, processing the images by determining for pixels in a generated image weighted averages of the pixel values of a pixel and adjacent pixels, identifying corresponding portions of an object from a first view point and from a second view point on the basis of the weighted average values of pixels, and determining 3D positions of points corresponding to the corresponding portions of images.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 12, 2017Publication date: October 26, 2017Inventors: Peter HANSON, Gideon HALE

Patent number: 9736465Abstract: An exemplary embodiment of a 3D camera system for a patient positioning and monitoring system is described. In the system a pair of image detectors are provided where the image detectors are each associated with a heater thermally connected to conducting pads provided at the periphery of the image detectors. The heaters and conducting pads act to contain the image detectors in a substantially constant temperature micro climate thereby preventing external temperature variations from causing the relative positions of the image detectors to change so as to record portions of images as different pixels and hence reduce the consistency with which the identification of matching portions of images obtained by the image detectors can be utilized to determine the 3D positions of imaged objects.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2013Date of Patent: August 15, 2017Assignee: VISION RT LIMITEDInventors: Peter Hanson, Gideon Hale
