US Patent:

52184315, Jun 8, 1993

Filed:

Apr 26, 1990

Appl. No.:

7/514985

Inventors:

Michael K. Gleicher - Albuquerque NM
Robert W. Conley - Tijeras NM

Assignee:

The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Air
Force - Washington DC

International Classification:

H04N 1104

US Classification:

358 13

Abstract:

A computer program is used to compress color graphics animation sequences for local storage and transmission to remotely networked sites in a significantly reduced size It allows playback of these animations on a wide variety of workstations ranging from personal computer class machines to high end scientific and engineering workstations such as Sun and Silicon Graphics machines. The basic raster image to be compressed is full color with 24-bits per pixel. The compressed form of a raster image is such that the original image can be reconstructed exactly, with no loss of information, on the same computer that compressed it (typically a large mainframe supercomputer) or on the smaller scientific or engineering workstation. A precompression conversion to palette form of a full color image is possible if the computer on which the reconstruction and display is to take place has limited color capabilities; this is the case for lower cost personal computers and workstations. The time required to compress, and the size of the compressed form, are allowed to be data dependent in order to achieve 100 percent lossless compression.

Assignee:

IMC Chemical Group - Terre Haute IN

International Classification:

C04B 3304
C04B 3313

US Classification:

106288B

Abstract:

In a process for treating raw kaolin clay to improve the color and brightness by treating the clay in an aqueous dispersion with sodium dithionite, the improvement consisting of treating the dispersion with hydroxylamine or salt thereof after the treatment with sodium dithionite is complete.

Appl. No.:

5/588265

Inventors:

Robert F. Conley - Scotch Plains NJ

International Classification:

B03D 300

US Classification:

209 5

Abstract:

A method of reducing the radioactivity found in naturally occurring kaolins to about 40% below its native value, and the leachable radiogenic components to less than 20%. This reduction is achieved by removing from the kaolin particles of a size less than 0. 5 microns. This removal may be carried out by gravitational settling, flocculation of non-colloidal particles, or acid leaching.
