Title: Document printed with graphical symbols which encode information
IPC: G06V30/224
Filed: 2002-02-08
Abstract: A document is printed with graphical symbols which encode information but are not human readable; the graphical symbols are formed into some or all of visible element printed on the document. The outline of this element is used for synchronising an automated process for scanning the document to extract the encoded information from the element. In prior art systems, synchronising an automated process for scanning the document to extract the encoded information from the element requires large scale arrangement of the graphical symbols (e.g. a horizontal line of glyphs which are all forward facing and which intersect a vertical line of glyphs which are all rearward facing). This considerably mars the appearance of a printed document. This negative impact on appearance has been one of the major causes inhibiting the uptake of graphical symbol technology for encoding information.

Title: Method and system for enhancing images using edge orientation
IPC: G06T5/00
Filed: 2002-09-02
Abstract: A method and system for enhancing images utilizes the direction of a detected edge within an image block of an input image to selectively smooth or sharpen a pixel of the input image that corresponds to that image block. The direction of a detected edge within the image block is determined by computing the horizontal gradient and the vertical gradient, and then using the ratio of the computed gradients. In an exemplary embodiment, the method and system is designed to exclusively use bit shifting to perform multiplications, rather than using digital signal processing. Consequently, the method and system is suitable for implementation in printer firmware and/or hardware.

Title: Method and apparatus for identifying target proteins for drug therapies
IPC: G16B5/00
Filed: 2003-10-29
Abstract: Initially network data (s4-1) defining a plurality of nodes and a plurality of links between the nodes is stored. The stored network data is then processed to identify (s4-2 - s 4-5) a set of nodes of importance for the structural integrity of the network defined by the stored network data. The set of nodes of importance may include: hub nodes in the network (s4-2); nodes in the network that are difficult to route around (s4-3); and nodes in the network involved in links between sub-networks of interconnected nodes which have more links to other nodes in the sub-network than other nodes in the rest of the network (s4-5). Second order nodes being nodes of the network associated with links to nodes in the identified set of nodes of importance for the structural integrity of the network are then identified (s4-6) and data identifying the second order nodes is output (s4-8).

Patent GB-9216841-D0 (GB)
Title: Voltage generating circuit
IPC: G11C11/407
Filed: 1992-08-07
Abstract: A circuit for generating an internal voltage to be supplied to memory elements of a semiconductor memory chip during normal operation and for providing an external voltage to the memory elements during a burn-in test operation. The circuit may be constructed with a driver circuit (50) which receives an external voltage and is controlled to generate the internal voltage. A comparator (300) compares the internal voltage to a first reference voltage to produce a control signal G2 to control the driver circuit (50). An external voltage detector (100) compares a second reference voltage to the external voltage to generate control signal B2. A driver control circuit (200) is enabled by control signal B2, if the external voltage is less than the second reference voltage, to pass control signal G2 to the driver circuit and thereby enable generation of the internal voltage to be equal to, or less than, the operating voltage of the semiconductor memory chip. The driver control circuit is disabled by control signal B2 if the external voltage is greater than the second reference voltage, thereby preventing the control signal G2 of the comparator from controlling conduction by the driver circuit (50) to enable output of the external voltage exhibiting an elevated amplitude to the memory elements for burn-in test operation.
