US Patent:

42172179, Aug 12, 1980

Filed:

Nov 29, 1978

Appl. No.:

5/964666

Inventors:

David S. Kay - Skokie IL
James F. Kahle - West Chicago IL

International Classification:

C02D 104
B01F 304

US Classification:

210 59

Abstract:

There is disclosed herein a pH control system for alkaline wastes from carbonated beverage plants and the limitations of an equipment design and method and operation which provide maximum efficiency at minimum cost. These limitations include size and shape of the reaction vessel, the pressure of carbon dioxide and time of release, the rate of flow of the effluent and its relationship to diffuser vessel, and the size of the gas bubbles as released so as to prevent waste of the carbon dioxide in excess of 30% of the gas utilized.

Abstract:

An improved camera system includes an uncooled thermal imaging sensor, a rotary actuator, a rotary encoder, and a slip ring. The rotary actuator is physically coupled to the uncooled thermal imaging sensor and enables the sensor to rotate a full 360 degrees any number of times relative to the system's horizontal base. Through the use of the slip ring, the sensor and the sensor's wiring can rotate freely without impedance. Notably, the sensor's wiring can be disposed through a central through-hole running the length of the rotary actuator. Therefore, prior to reaching the slip ring, the sensor and its wiring rotate in unison with the rotary actuator. The encoder is structured to monitor the angular position of the sensor in order to accurately determine where the sensor is being aimed.

Abstract:

Generating panoramic video viewable at a third-party video management system includes receiving image data captured by at least one camera. The received image data may be captured at a plurality of angles (e.g., stop positions) arranged about a single axis (e.g., about which the camera rotates). The received image data may optionally be analyzed. Based on the received image data (and any optional analysis thereof), panoramic video derived from the captured image data (e.g., still images) may then be generated. A single video stream including the generated panoramic video may then be generated. The single generated video stream may then be sent to a third-party video management system (VMS). The video stream may be usable by the video management system for displaying the generated panoramic video. Various other views or other information may also be included in the single video stream sent to the VMS.
