Some embodiments provide a method of color correcting an image. Some such embodiments provide (1) a display area for displaying a modifiable graph correlating a first color attribute of the image to a set of second color attributes and (2) at least one tool that adjusts the graph in order to adjust color attributes in the image. The graph adjustment tool of some embodiments is a set of control points that specify the color correction adjustment over a parameterized curve representation of the graph. In some embodiments, the graphs are rasterized curves that are adjusted through the use of a Gaussian manipulator. The Gaussian manipulator distributes a second color attribute adjustment over a set of first color attribute values according to a Gaussian distribution. Moreover, some embodiments allow for the selective switching between the parameterized and rasterized curves or the control points and the Gaussian manipulator.

A method is provided for facilitating transactions between a product brand manager and manufacturing organizations using a transactional computer system. The product brand manager has a product brand and product brand information that includes information for manufacturing the product brand, and there is manufacturing organization information for each of the manufacturing organizations that includes the manufacturing process capabilities of the respective manufacturing organization. The method includes communicating the product brand information from the product brand manager to the transactional computer system, and communicating the manufacturing organization information for the manufacturing organizations from the manufacturing organizations to the transactional computer system. The method also includes using the transactional computer system to process the product brand information and the manufacturing organization information to select at least one candidate manufacturing organization from the manufacturing organizations and to generate selection information regarding the at least one candidate manufacturing organization. The selection processing uses the transactional computer system to compare the product brand information to the manufacturing organization information. The method further includes using the transactional computer system to communicate the selection information to the product brand manager. A related method is provided for the selection of product brand managers for the benefit of a manufacturing organization. Related systems also are disclosed.

A system for modularizing a business application, the system including a computer having a first computer-readable medium encoded with a browser and an application server. The browser manages a user presentation interface for the business application and is configured to support client-side scripting. The application server is coupled to the computer and includes a second computer-readable medium that is encoded with a server-side script processing engine for processing scripts submitted by the browser and a Module Controller Servlet for opening, closing and managing at least one Module associated with the business application. A Module is a dynamic, configurable software element which includes at least one Extension component and a Data Store. The Extension component defines at least one particular business method function associated with the business application and is invoked as required by the business application. The Data Store includes at least one associated data set which contains data associated with the business application.

A process for leaching laterite ores containing limonite and saprolite. Sufficient mineral acid is added to a slurry of limonite which is leached at atmospheric pressure to dissolve most of the soluble non-ferrous metals and soluble iron. After adding saprolite the slurry is further leached at a temperature above the normal boiling point and at a pressure above atmospheric pressure for a time sufficient to leach most of the contained nickel in the saprolite and to precipitate most of the iron in solution. The pressure of the slurry is then reduced, and nickel and/or cobalt is subsequently recovered from the leach solution by solvent extraction, resin-in-pulp or other ion exchange, sulfide or hydroxide precipitation, or other recovery method.

The invention discloses a parallel computing method capable of expanding a precision Logistic chaotic sequence, comprising the following steps: (1) saving initial parameters x0 and mu integer quantization to an one-dimensional array, and arranging the precision required to be achieved or designating iterative times; (2) the first part of the parallel computational algorithm x=x*(1-x): utilizing amatrix to save and compute the intermediate result, modifying the length of a dynamic array and saving the computation result to the dynamic array; (3) the second part of the parallel computational algorithm x=mu*x: saving the computation result to the dynamic array; (4) and if the precision or the iterative times achieves the required value, acquiring the chaotic sequence in the dynamic array, thus the computation is finished, and otherwise, transferring to step (2). The method of the invention fully utilizes the properties of a chaotic system, provides the chaotic sequence of a more expansive mapping space, can be used in the fields of secret communication, information safety and so on, and is especially suitable for encryption, storage and network transmission of graph, image and multimedia and other information.
