Abstract: An image processing method is used to decide which pixels having a value in some pre-determined range are associated to form an object. The method has the steps of :
     (i) marking every pixel having the pre-determined property ;   (ii) scanning across the image and for each marked pixel checking whether any of the adjacent pixels already scanned has a label ; and (iii) if none of the adjacent pixels already scanned has a label the marked pixel is given a new label ; if the adjacent pixels already scanned include one or more pixels having a label, the marked pixel is given that label and if the adjacent pixels already scanned include pixels having different labels the marked pixel is given one of these labels and the fact that the pixels with these labels are all associated is noted.

Abstract: An eXternal Procedure Call (XPC) is a function in a distributed processing environment which allows a procedure local to or remote from a calling process to be called and executed (and, if appropriate, the results return to the calling process) without performing a full context switch between processes, either locally or remotely. This is accomplished by associating a subroutine with each processing node of the distributed processing environment. The subroutine is coded so that it can be directly accessed and executed within each processing thread of the parallel job.

Abstract: For image reproduction, a submodular unit including a developing roller (6) and a doctor blade (22) is adjustably mounted on a modular developing unit of a rotary developing apparatus (10). In general, the modular developing unit is rotatably positioned to juxtapose a photoreceptor drum (12). This juxtaposed position defines the developing position. The toner loaded on the developing roller in the developing position travels over a spacial gap between the developing roller surface and the photoreceptor drum surface. This crucial gap is necessary for successful image reproduction. However, this gap usually cannot be optimally maintained over extended time. The gap is also changed due vibration caused during shipment. In adjusting the gap, the submodular unit allows an independent and fine adjustment for each modular image developing unit. The submodular unit also allows an efficient assembly of the modular rotary developing unit.

Abstract: A depository apparatus (10) includes a common entry slot (14) for receiving both envelopes and single sheet financial documents such as cheques. A thickness sensor (58) adjacent to the entry slot (14) provides an output indicative of whether a deposit item has a thickness of at least one millimetre, which is normally indicative that the item is an envelope. Transport means (34) and divert gates (50, 52) route items having a thickness of at least one millimetre into an envelope feed path for further processing, and route items of less than this thickness into a financial document feed path for further processing. Imaging means (76) generate a digital image of items routed into the document feed path, this image being processed to determine if the item is a document of predetermined type. The imaging means (76) enables the apparatus to detect if a thin envelope has been incorrectly routed into the document feed path.

Abstract: A method for quantitatively and objectively measuring the usability of a system. The method provides quantitative measures for usability satisfaction, usability performance, and usability performance indicators. Usability satisfaction is measured by acquiring data from a system user population with respect to a set of critical factors that are identified for the system. Usability performance is measured by acquiring data for quantifying the statistical significance of the difference in the mean time for an Expert population to perform a task on a particular number of trials and the estimated mean time for a Novice population to perform the task on the same number of trials. The estimated mean time is calculated according to the Power Law of Practice. Usability Performance Indicators include Goal Achievement Indicators, Work Rate Usability Indicators, and Operability Indicators which are calculated according to one or more measurable parameters which include performance times, numbers of problems encountered, number of actions taken, time apportioned to problems, learning time, number of calls for assistance, and the number of unsolved problems.
