Abstract: An imaging device comprises a semiconductor substrate including an array of pixel cells. Each pixel cell comprising an individually addressable pixel circuit for accumulating charge resulting from radiation incident on a pixel detector. The pixel circuit and the pixel detector can either be implemented on a single substrate, or on two substrates bonded together. The charge storage device can be a transistor, for example one of a pair of FETs connected as a cascode amplification stage. An imaging plane can be made up of one imaging device or a plurality of imaging devices tiled to form a mosaic. The imaging devices may be configured as a slot for certain applications, the slit or slot being scanned over the imaging plane. Control electronics can include addressing logic for addressing individual pixel circuits for reading accumulated charge from the pixel circuits. Imaging optimisation can be achieved by determining maximum and minimum charge values for pixels for display, assigning extreme grey scale or colour values to the maximum and minimum charge values and allocating grey scale or colour values to an individual pixel according to a sliding scale between the extreme values. Scattered radiation can be detected and discarded by comparing the detected pixel value to a threshold value related to a minimum detected charge value expected for directly incident radiation and discarding detected pixel values less than said threshold value.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for high speed signal path arbitration and
transfer of a plurality of source signals to a destination signal path, is provided.
An arbiter system includes an arbiter and a multiplexer. The multiplexer
includes a plurality of n inputs each coupled to receive a source signal from one
of a plurality of source signal paths and an output coupled to provide an output
signal to the destination signal path. The multiplexer is controlled by a plurality
of n select signal values received from the arbiter. The arbiter is coupled to
receive a plurality of request signal values which prompt the arbiter to control
the multiplexer to pass one of the source signals to the destination signal path.
The multiplexer includes a plurality of n multiplexer signal paths each
extending from one of n multiplexer inputs to the multiplexer output. Time
characteristics of each of the n multiplexer signal paths are unequal. Request
signal transfer times are required by the arbiter for providing a select signal
value corresponding to each of the n request signal values. In the present
invention, the time characteristics of the multiplexer signal paths and the
request signal transfer times are matched such that an arbiter system transfer
time, required to process one of the request signal values over the arbiter and
pass a source signal from the corresponding multiplexer input to the
multiplexer output, is approximately equal for each of the inputs to the
multiplexer.

Abstract: The invention provides an improved IC card connector
which is constructed so that, even if with the passing of
time there occurs deterioration in the clamping force of
the connector for clamping the IC card, the IC card
itself will not be pushed in the card's discharge
direction by an elastic force of an actuator of a
detecting switch. 
     The actuator (14a) of the detecting switch is
provided with a projected tongue piece (14c) obliquely
protruding toward the card insertion section, in a manner
such that the projected tongue piece is adapted to be
driven in the IC card's thickness direction by the IC
card just before the completion of its insertion.
Therefore, an elastic force of the actuator (this force
will be exerted on the IC card which has been inserted in
its loading position) may be made generally orthogonal to
the IC card's discharge direction. In this way, with
the passing of time, even if there occurs a deterioration
in a clamping force of the connector for clamping the IC
card, the IC card will not be pushed by the detecting
switch in its discharge direction and thus it is possible
to avoid positional deviation of the IC card when in its
inserted position.

Abstract: In a method of recognition of handwritten input, a preprocessing
module (200) of a recognizer (203) having a recognition module (202),
segments handwritten input into strokes, to provide stroke vectors. A
search module (204) generates hypothetical character strings for scoring
by the recognition module (202). A character hypothesis is generated
which is a data set of a character, a start vector and an end vector. The
recognizer (203) provides a non-cumulative score for the character
hypothesis, where the score represents a likelihood of the character being
present in the handwritten input at a position starting at the start vector
and ending at the end vector. The recognizer (203) delivers to the search
module a result that is either the score for the selected first character
hypothesis or a result that allows the search module to temporarily ignore
the hypothesis or to kill it altogether. The search module maintains or
disregards the first hypothetical character string dependent on the result.
The process is repeated for other character hypotheses and other
hypothetical character strings.
