Title: Machine character recognition verification
Inventor: WALL JOHN
IPC: G06K9/03
Filed: 2007-05-18
Abstract: Data on a document is recognized using at least two machine recognition processes. Data from one machine recognition process is used as reference data; data formed using the other recognition process is used as verification data. If the verification data matches the reference data, machine recognition may be verified. If the verification data does not exactly match the reference data, an assessment is made of the likelihood that the verification data is sufficiently close to the reference data to suggest an error in the verification data. This may be done by applying a fitness function to the verification data, to assess the likelihood that the verification data represents a mis-recognized version of the reference data. In one embodiment, the verification data is OCR    data, and the reference data is MICR data.

Title: Method of high-melting-point metal separation and recovery
Inventor: OGASAWARA TADASHI
IPC: C22B34/12
Filed: 2006-03-08
Abstract: TiCl4 gas is fed from raw material supply pipe (11) into molten CaCl2 fluid held in reaction vessel (6), so that the TiCl4 is reduced by Ca dissolved in the CaCl2 fluid to thereby form particulate metallic Ti. Any molten CaCl2 fluid having Ti particles mixed therein drawn out downward from the reaction vessel (6) is transferred to separation step (12), wherein the mixture is heated in heating vessel (15). Consequently, the Ti particles are also melted, and by virtue of a specific gravity difference, the molten CaCl2 fluid (16) forms an upper layer while the metallic Ti (17) forms a lower layer to thereby accomplish separation thereof. The lower-layer metallic Ti (17) is taken out through high-melting-point metal outlet port (18) and is solidified into an ingot. The upper-layer molten CaCl2 fluid (16) together with the molten CaCl2 fluid drawn out from the reaction vessel (6) is transferred to electrolysis step (13), and any Ca formed by electrolysis together with CaCl2is returned into the reaction vessel (6). In the separation step (12) of this production process, the separation recovery technique of the invention is applied, so that Ti or Ti alloy of high quality can be efficiently separated and recovered from CaCl2-containing molten salt with reduced consumption of energy.
