The coating compositions comprise: (a) at least one compound having at least 2 carboxyl groups; (b) a compound having at least 2 epoxy groups; and (c) 0.01 to 3.0 parts by weight based on ...

Digital mammograms are automatically segmented into background, corresponding to the region external of the breast, and foreground, corresponding to the region within the breast, by the detection of the skinline which forms a border between these regions. A binary array is produced representing an initial coarse segmentation between foreground and background. The binary values are assigned in depe...

The vehicle is fitted with both a thermal (5) and an electric (1) motor on each rear wheel of the vehicle. All the motors are fitted beneath the rear seat of the vehicle. Both the electric motors are continuously coupled to the wheels, while the thermal motors are connected through a clutch or belt disengagement mechanism. The electric motors are compound wound and powered by batteries, which are ...

Cuts in a video signal are detected by first measuring a correlation parameter between successive images; this can be the sum of the maximum peak heights for each of 16 to 100 or more blocks in a block-based phase correlation procedure. An averaged value of this correlation parameter is maintained and the current measurement of the correlation parameter is compared with the averaged value. The pre...
