Patent EP-0843275-A3 (EP)
Inventor: HIRAO KOUICHIROU
IPC: G06V30/10
Filed: 1997-11-12
Abstract: In a projection means black pixel histograms of a binary stationary
image are generated in both the vertical and the horizontal direction. In a
text type judgment means, in accordance with these histograms, a determination
is made of whether the image is vertical text or horizontal text. Based on the
result of this determination, a pattern block extraction means extracts either
a column or a row from the image. The block is further projected and divided
into smaller blocks. Then projection is again applied to these divided blocks
and patterns are extracted by a pattern extraction means. A judgment is made as
to whether or not joining of the extracted patterns is to be performed and, if
joining is required, they are joined by a pattern joining means and finally the
offsets of all the extracted patterns are calculated, whereupon data (of
extracted patterns) are sent to a pattern matching process.

IPC: H04N1/387
Filed: 1997-01-23
Abstract: An image processing system and method for laser-printing a
composite image containing a monotone image and a multi gradation-level
image in a superposed fashion such that the contours of
characters in the monotone image are well smoothed without
degrading the multi gradation-level image. The multi gradation-level
image remains a faithful reproduction of the original and
the resultant composite image is improved. 
     When receiving a composite image 2, an image processing
system binarize the pixel values of the composite image 2, to
reproduce a mono-tone image 8. At the same time, the system
generates a multi gradation-level, N-fold density image 10 from
the composite image 2. The mono-tone image 8 is subjected to a
smoothing process to smooth the contours of characters. The
pixels corresponding to a corrected pixel area 17 in the mono-tone
image 8 of the N-fold density image 10 are converted into white
pixels by masking the corrected pixel area. Thereafter, the
smoothed monotone image 16 and the N-fold density image 18 are
superposed one on the other, to thereby form a final image 22.

Abstract: A water oxygenating device comprising an upright tubular
housing (10) mounted on a base (13) close to the bottom of a body of
water and having upper and lower ends open to enable water to flow
upwardly therethrough. Air lift nozzles (18) and fine bubble dispersion
air supply annular pipes (15 and 16) serve to generate a flow of
bubbles upwardly through the tubular housing, the fine dispersion of
air bubbles effecting enhanced oxygen transfer into the water
throughout passage around a pair of shallow helical flights (22, 23)
having an angle of approximately 10° to the horizontal. The fine
bubble air diffusion commences outside of the tubuiar housing (10) to
provide a gentle mixing action and thus maximum oxygen transfer
within the tube where the water and oxygen interface is retained for
as long as possible.

Abstract: A surgical simulation system provides haptic feedback
to a user of a set of catheters or similar elongated
objects (10',12',14') coupled to the system. The system employs an
actuator assembly coupled to the objects and also to
a workstation executing a surgical procedure
simulation program. Each actuator in the actuator
assembly is mechanically coupled to a corresponding
object, and includes sensors that generate sense
signals indicative of axial translation and rotation
of the object by the user. The sense signals are
provided to the workstation. In response, the
workstation calculates axial forces and torques to be
applied to the object as haptic feedback to the user,
and provides drive signals representing the
calculated axial forces and torques to the actuator
assembly. Mechanisms within the actuators respond to
the drive signals by applying corresponding axial
force and torque to the tubes and the objects coupled
thereto.
