IPC: H01R12/58
Filed: 1997-09-10
Abstract: Disclosed is an improvement in a press-fit pin 1 having an elastically deformable area 6 to be press-fitted in a selected through hole in a printed circuit board,  the elastically  deformable  area  6  comprising  two  parallel, opposite beams 8 connected by an connecting deformable bridge 9, thereby permitting the outer corners 8a of each beam 8 to engage the  inner wall  of the plated through hole while permitting the connecting deformable bridge 9 to be deformed. The connecting deformable bridge  9  comprises,  in cross-section, an connecting flat section 10 extending perpendicular to the opposite beams 8, and two oblique sections 11 extending outward from the opposite ends of the upper flat 10a of the connecting flat section 10 to be contiguous to the opposite beams 8.          The press-fit pin has  such an  connecting  flat section in its pressure-deformable area in place of the "V"-shaped area of a conventional press-fit pin, thus eliminating the necessity of forming acute angles in the die-and-punch.

Patent CA-2222590-A1 (CA)
Title: System and method for reducing the search scope in a lexicon
Inventor: LIANG LI
IPC: G06F17/27
Filed: 1996-06-05
Abstract: A system and method for more efficiently comparing an unverified string to a lexicon, which filters the lexicon through multiple steps to reduce the number of entries to be directly compared with the unverified string. The method begins by preparing the lexicon with an n-gram encoding, partitioning and hashing process, which can be accomplished in advance of any processing of unverified strings. The unknown is compared first by partitioning and hashing it in the same way to reduce the lexicon in a computationally inexpensive manner. This is followed by an encoded vector comparison step, and finally by a direct string comparison step, which is the most computationally expensive.  The reduction of the lexicon is accomplished without arbitrarily eliminating any large portions of the lexicon that might contain relevant candidates. At the same time, the method avoids the need to compare the unverified string directly or indirectly with all the entries in the lexicon. The final candidate list includes only highly possible and ranked candidates for the unverified string, and the size of the final list is adjustable.
