An image processing device that joins together multiple scenes extracted from a video image, wherein scene information that indicates characteristics of the multiple scenes is extracted from multiple frame images that comprise the video image, where, when two scenes are to be joined together multiple types of transition effects to be used in the changing of the scenes is stored in advance, and a specific transition effect is selected, based on the extracted scene information, from the transition effects that have been stored in advance. For example, effects such as a slide or a wipe are selected based on the characteristics of the video image, such as the direction of movement of an object. The specific transition effect that has been selected is used to join together the two scenes. The result is that it is possible to set up effective scene changes to enable each scene to be joined together.

Abstract of the Disclosure The method of manufacturing a structural assembly includes positioning a first structural member at least partially adjacent a second structural member to define an interface therebetween and inserting a rotating plug into the first and second structural members at the interface to thereby join the first structural member to the second structural member. The resulting friction plug weld provides a relatively strong joint between the structural members, requires less forming and machining time, and is compatible with single-sided tooling. Additionally, the friction plug weld is compatible with other joining methods, such as friction stir welding.

Systems and methods for ignition and reignition of unstable electrical discharges wherein a secondary electrode positioned is between a set of primary electrodes and a high voltage is applied between the secondary electrode and successive ones of the primary electrodes to produce pilot discharges that ionize a gas there between and thereby reduce the voltage necessary to ignite a primary discharge between the primary electrodes. Power is provided to the secondary electrode by a circuit which is independent of the circuit that supplies power to the primary electrodes and generates voltage pulses which are substantially higher than the voltage between the primary electrodes.

A process for joining silicon-containing ceramic articles, and particularly ceramic articles and CMC articles that contain both silicon carbide and free silicon. The process entails providing a reactive metal-containing braze material between the articles, and then heating the braze material and the articles to react the reactive metal with the silicon within the articles to form a brazement containing a silicide phase of the reactive metal. The brazement and articles are then cooled to produce a component comprising the two articles and the silicide phase-containing brazement. The process is preferably carried out at temperatures below that which would thermally degrade constituents of the articles, and more preferably below the melting point of silicon.
