Title: Apparatus for reading a license plate.
Inventor: GONZALEZ RAFAEL C
IPC: G08G1/017
Filed: 1987-05-04
Abstract: A video camera produces an image of a license plate on a vehicle, and a scanning apparatus finds a license plate number in the image. The identification of the license plate number is verified in a confidence check section by checking for the presence of a state logo. Next, a character extractor identifies individual characters of the number by finding and tracing a contour along interior portions of the character edges, and the contour length, character height, and character width are then checked in a validity checking section to determine whether they are within predetermined acceptable ranges. To correct for obscuring objects on the license plate, a character alignment section determines the top line and baseline of the license plate number and disregards portions of the characters that appear to be outside of these limits, and a license plate frame correction section is utilized to extract the characters when a portion thereof is obscured by a license plate frame. Once extracted, the characters are recognized by a structural analysis section and a state recognition section recognizes the state logo. Once the state is identified, a verification section rereads the license plate number utilizing knowledge of the type style used by the identified state.

Abstract: A focus sensor and a tracking sensor for an optical re- cording/reproducing apparatus having a very simple optical system that can be adjusted very easily. This apparatus works on the principle that a focal spot on an optical disk (3) is vibrated in very small amounts in a direction perpendicular to the data track by flickering the light-emitting sources (21), (22) and (23) in sequence to scan the interference fringes generated on a remote region of the optical disk by the periodicity of the data track of the optical disk, and that the output of an optical detector (28) disposed in the remote region is electrically calculated to thereby produce a focus error signal and a tracking error signal.

Abstract: An especially configured, ringless, container-lid design is disclosed having improved sealing characteristics applicable to paint containers for the consuming public. The rim portion of the container is provided with a tapered, especially shaped wall section terminating in a curled bead which is received in a sealing groove in the lid. The container rim section is rigidized by a single protrusion in the form of a stiffening groove to prevent vertical collapse of the container. The lid has an inverted U-shaped groove sealingly engaging the container's bead. Extending from the inner wall segment of the U-shaped groove in the lid is a frusto conical wall segment extending radially-inwardly and vertically-upwardly to a flat, annular, radially-inwardly extending surface which in turn terminates in a downwardly-extruding frusto conical surface so that a raised collecting basin is formed in the lid. The collecting basin provides a mechanism resisting lid sealing groove deformation when the lid is pierced for tint plug insertion while effectively providing an ingress-egress path for paint flow to prevent any potential for paint leakage during mixing of the paint in automatic shaker machines.

Abstract: The disposable filter holder of the arrangement consists of a two-part plastic housing shaped like a flat box having inflow and outflow sockets, the two housing halves of which are connected in a gas- and pressure-tight fashion to one another with the interposition of a membrane-like filter. For the purpose of reliable identification of the disposable filter holder in accordance with the characteristics of the filter, the disposable filter holder has a colour marking of coloured plastic which runs round a radially outer region. In this arrangement, this colour marking extends in at least one recess in the first and/or second housing part in a form-fitting fashion, and thus does not project over the outer contour of the housing. The colour marking thereby serves only to identify the disposable filter holder and, in particular, does not fulfil any sort of sealing or closing function.

Abstract: A method of producing shaped, self-supporting ceramic bodies includes preparing a mold by applying a gas-permeable, conformable material (20) to a shape-de­fining surface of a shaped parent metal (10). The gas-­permeable material (20), when set or stable, provides a mold with a shaped surface which is defined by, and is therefore substantially congruent to, the shape-defining surface. Upon heating, the parent metal (10) melts and flows from the mold into a receptacle without disturbing the mold. Oxidation reaction product is then grown by oxidation of the molten parent metal with a vapor-phase oxidant to form an oxidation reaction product which grows into the mold cavity and is shaped by it. A ceramic body is recovered from the mold and has substantially the same shape as the pattern section (12,14,18) of the original shaped parent metal (10).
