Inventor: COLLINGS PETER
IPC: D21H21/46
Filed: 1990-03-08
Abstract: A security paper authenticating system comprises, in combination, a security paper carrying both starch and an iodate salt, typically potassium iodate, and an authenticating composition comprising an acidic solution of an iodide salt, typically potassium iodide, the system being such that on applying the authenticating composition to authentic security paper, as by a pen, brush or stamp pad, iodine is generated and a characteristic starch-iodine colouration is produced. The authenticating composition is preferably aqueous or part-aqueous, and is preferably made acidic by means of a weak organic acid such as tartaric acid. The authenticating composition preferably also contains an antioxidant such as ascorbic acid. The invention extends to the paper and the authenticating composition individually.

Abstract: A noise rejection circuit improves the signal-to-noise ratio of a ratiometric measurement circuit. A first operational amplifier produces a scaled-up voltage proportional to a low reference voltage. The scaled-up voltage is applied to a series connected reference resistance, whose value is known, and a resistance whose value is unknown and is to be measured. A parameter voltage formed across the resistance is applied to second operational amplifier acting as a buffer. A buffered parameter voltage is scaled down by a voltage divider. The scaled-down voltage is applied to a ratiometric converter, that produces an output representative of the unknown resistance value. The ratio of a first pair of resistors that determines the gain of the first operational amplifier is the same as the ratio of a second pair of resistors that form the voltage divider, such that the low reference voltage is scaled up and the parameter voltage is scaled down by the same factor. The ratiometric converter operates from a low power supply voltage and consumes low amounts of power. The first and second amplifiers are CMOS operational amplifiers that, despite operating from a relatively high power supply voltage, consume low amounts of power.

Abstract: A method and system for recognizing an individual unknown character on a document in which, for black pels, one at a time, a vector indicating (56)what is seen from that pel in each of a plurality of directions in terms of white or black pels. That vector is compared (58) to a table created from a large experience, generating a probability for each character in the character set that the vector from the pel on the unknown character is that character. As this process is repeated for other black pels in the unknown character, the probabilities associated with the various pels for each respective character are multiplied together to create a probability for the unknown character. An optional skeletonization (54) of the character prior to recognition assists in the recognition by making the character only one pel width for a stroke, rather than a variable quantity.

Abstract: An electronic reprographic apparatus which enables the speed of manual or semi-automatic imaging of signature-type original documents to be increased, and which has the ability to selectively control the areas of the documents to be imaged. In particular, the apparatus enables the user to identify the type of input document (330), including size and image cropping dimensions (340, 344), thereby eliminating the potential for imaging beyond document edges or in bound document gutter regions. In addition, the system is suitable for scanning both page sides (A, B) of a first signature-type document on the first pass of the scan array and is capable of scanning a second signature-type document on the reverse or return pass. Furthermore, the system implements the scanning operation with a center registration technique, facilitating the registration of bound documents.

Abstract: A device for inductively transmitting control information to railway vehicles is disclosed, in which device in each case track conductor arrangements with two track conductor loops (S1, S2) are laid at individual transmission sites. The track conductor loops are operated independently of one another. Each of the loops transmits an identification code in addition to the control information. The order of the identification codes in a conductor track loop arrangement is permanently assigned to a direction of travel (FR) and known to the vehicle. At the vehicle, only such control information is evaluated in which the sequence of loop identification codes in the received information corresponds to the vehicle's own direction of travel determined for example from the rotation of the wheels. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An item of furniture is described, which can be composed of any desired number of basic elements. These basic elements are shelves and column elements which can be braced by tension members in the form of threaded rods. These threaded rods can be inserted in slots which are cut laterally into the column elements and extend up to the centre so that the axis of the threaded rods coincides with the axes of the column elements. The individual sections of the threaded rod, which extend in each case over a shelf, can be connected by threaded sleeves which bring about an extension of the tension members. These threaded sleeves are received by bores which widen the slot at the lower end of each column element. The column elements are expediently arranged on the bracing members in such a way that their slot points inwards. Between opposite column elements, transverse webs can be inserted by their ends in the slots. The rigid-corner bracing takes place by means of hexagon nuts which are screwed onto the end of the uppermost threaded rod. <IMAGE>
