Patent EP-0834826-A2 (EP)
Inventor: ACKNER REUVEN
IPC: G06V30/148
Filed: 1997-09-30
Abstract: One dimensional horizontal and vertical
reference projections are obtained for a reference
character template. Similar one dimensional
horizontal and vertical pattern projections are
obtained for an unknown character pattern. The
horizontal reference projection and horizontal
pattern projection are compared, and the vertical
reference projection and vertical pattern projection
are compared. The reference character template is
then positioned with respect to the unknown
character pattern based on such comparisons in order
to calculate a correlation coefficient between the
two. In certain cases, the unknown character can be
identified based solely on its one dimensional
projections. Multiple characters in a character
pattern are identified either one at a time or as a
group. In the latter case, all possible
combinations are generated using tree search
processing, and the best combination is selected.

Abstract: A laser radiation device comprises a pumping light emission
section (1), a fiber laser device (14) and a beam guiding section (13, 13A,

doped with laser ions is excited by the pumping light (2) and thereby a
laser beam (6) including two or more wavelength components is generated.
The beam guiding section (13, 13A, 13B) guides the laser beam (6) into
desired place and direction. The laser beam (6) including the two or
more wavelength components having characteristic effects are focused by
a beam shaping section (10) and applied to the surface of an object (11).
When holmium ions are doped in the optical fiber (4) of the fiber laser
device (14) as the laser ions, a laser beam (6) including a 3 µm band
component (which is suitable for precise incision of a living body) and a 2
µm band component (which is suitable for tissue coagulation and
hemostasis) is emitted by the fiber laser device (14), and the two
wavelength components are applied to the surface of the object (11)
maintaining coaxiality, thereby the two effects of the two wavelength
components are attained simultaneously on the object (11).
