Abstract: This invention relates to processes for producing various t-butyl phenols, such as 2,6-di-ten-butyl phenol and ortho-tert-butyl phenol, by selectively reacting phenol or a substituted phenol with an isobutylene-containing C4 raffinate stream. The 2,6-di-ten-butyl phenol and ortho-tert-butyl phenol can be transalkylated to form other ten-butyl phenols, such as para-tert-butyl phenol, 2,4-di-ten-butyl phenol.

Abstract: High dynamic range image sensors and image reconstruction methods for capturing high dynamic range images. An image sensor that captures high dynamic range images may include an array of pixels having two sets of pixels, each of which is used to capture an image of a scene. The two sets of pixels may be interleaved together. As an example, the first and second sets of pixels may be formed in odd-row pairs and even-row pairs of the array, respectively. The first set of pixels may use a longer exposure time than the second set of pixels. The exposures of the two sets of pixels may at least partially overlap in time. Image processing circuitry in the image sensors or an associated electronic device may de-interlace the two images and may combine the de-interlaced images to form a high dynamic range image.

Abstract: An imager includes an array of pixels arranged in rows and a control circuit for sequentially capturing first and second image frames from the array of pixels. The control circuit is configured to sequentially capture first and second pairs of adjacent rows of pixels during first and second exposure times, respectively, when capturing the first image frame. The control circuit is also configured to sequentially capture first and second pairs of adjacent rows of pixels during second and first exposure times, respectively, when capturing the second image frame. The first exposure times during the first and second frames are of similar duration; and the second exposure times during the first and second frames are of similar duration. The control circuit is configured to detect motion of an object upon combining the first and second image frames and, then, correct for the motion of the object.

Abstract: Electronic devices may include image sensors and processing circuitry. Image sensors may be used to capture multiple exposure images. Processing circuitry may be used to combine multiple exposure images into high-dynamic-range images. A motion correction method is provided that detects motion between multiple exposure images without using a frame buffer. A noise model is used to separate noise from motion for more accurate motion detection. A dilation operator may be used to enlarge a motion mask generated by the motion detector. Motion-corrected images may be generated from the multiple exposure images using a soft switch based on the motion strength. Motion-corrected multiple exposure images may be combined to generate a motion-corrected HDR image. A smoothing filter may be applied to the motion region of the motion-corrected HDR image. A blooming correction may be used to eliminate color artifacts in the motion-corrected HDR image.
