Abstract: To cut or stamp shaped sections from an animal hide, it is given a machine readable code, and the contour of the hide is registered together with any faults by a camera for storage in a connected computer. The surface of the hide is determined from the contour and it is displayed together with the faulty points on a screen for the computer to set the cutting layout. The data are assembled together with the cutting layout for the hide's code. The cutting layout is projected on to the hide surface, and the hide is cut along the centre manually to give two half-sections. The cutting line is registered by the computer and displayed by the projector. The outline of each half-section is projected on to the cutting or stamping table, and the hide section is aligned on the table according to the projected image. The hide is finally cut or stamped according to the layout.

Abstract: In an image forming apparatus, a supply roller 4
supplies a liquid developer to the photo-conductive substance
of a photosensitive drum or belt prior to an electrostatic
latent image forming process. The supply roller 4 is applied
with a voltage identical in polarity with the charge of toner
in the liquid developer, and the liquid developer is uniformly
supplied to the surface of a photo-conductive substance to
form a liquid developer layer. An exposure unit 6 selectively
exposes the photo-conductive substance from the upside of the
liquid developer layer in accordance with the image
information, to thereby weaken an adhesion of the toner in an
exposed area of the liquid developer to the photo-conductive
substance. A removing roller 8 is applied with a voltage
opposite in polarity to the toner charge to attract and
recover the toner weakened in the adhesion by an electric
field. The developed image caused by the liquid developer
which has remained on the surface of the photo-conductive
substance without being recovered is transferred to a
recording medium 11 by a transfer roller 13.

Abstract: A bitmap image data (20) is analyzed by connecting component
extraction (24) to identify components or connected components that
represent either individual characters or letters, or regions of a
nontext image. The connected components are classified as text or
nontext based on geometric attributes such as the number of holes (60),
arcs (50, 52) and line ends (54, 56) comprising each component. A
nearest-neighbor analysis (30) then identifies which text components
represent lines or strings of text and each line or string is further
analyzed (34) to determine its vertical or horizontal orientation.
Thereafter, separate vertical and horizontal font height filters (36)
are used to identify those text strings that are the most likely
candidates. For the most likely title candidates a bounding box (40) is
defined which can be associated with or overlaid upon the original
bitmap data to select the title region for further processing or
display. Captions and photographs can also be located.

Abstract: A method of establishing a precision wavelength point in a spectrometric instrument with a calibration source of a spectral peak of precisely identified wavelength and a nominal calibration of spectral wavelength versus spectral locations. A calibration profile representative of the at least one spectral peak is produced from which a centroid wavelength of the calibration profile with respect to the spectral locations is estimated. The calibration profile is reversed about the centroid wavelength to create a reversed profile. A combined profile is produced by addition. The calibration data are fitted to the combined profile to determine an offset between the estimated centroid wavelength and the primary spectral peak, whereby the offset defines the primary peak location with respect to the spectral locations.
