Title: System and method for ocr assisted bar code decoding
Inventor: SMITH CHRISTOPHER E
IPC: G06V10/98
Filed: 1998-04-16
Granted: 2003-06-10
Abstract: A system for using OCR processing to read human readable characters that correspond to an unsuccessfully decoded code word in a bar code symbol. An imaging system captures an image of a label that includes a bar code symbol and corresponding human readable characters. The system attempts to decode the bar code symbol by decoding each of the constituent bar code characters. If a bar code character is not successfully decoded, the system locates the associated human readable text and segments the text into individual character images. The unsuccessfully decoded bar code character is mapped to one or more of the alphanumeric character images, which are converted into text characters. The resulting ASCII data is used to create a substitute bar code character in the bar code symbology. After the bar code symbol is decoded using the substitute bar code character, the symbol is validated through check summing or other means.

Abstract: An oil circuit of a jack for rising an object to a preset position rapidly, wherein the oil inlet circuit of a hydraulic loop system is improved. An oil channel is installed between the inner oil chamber of the piston rod and the sequential valve. A check valve is installed between the oil channel and the sequential valve. An oil channel is installed between the sequential valve and the check valve for being connected to the inner oil chamber of the piston rod. By changing the positions of the check valve and the oil channel. When in the working conditions of dump load or light load, the sequential valve is closed, thus, the hydraulic oil may enter into the inner oil chamber of the piston rod from the pumping oil chamber through the check valve so that the piston rod will rise rapidly to a still condition. In the still condition, since the check valve closes the oil channel, the sequential valve will open automatically so that the inner oil chamber of the piston rod is communicated to the inner oil reservoir. Thus the inner and outer oil pressures of the oil guiding tube in the piston rod are equal. Thus, no strong still load hydraulic pressure exists in the oil guiding tube within the inner oil chamber of the piston rod. BY this changing, the still load hydraulic pressure of the inner oil reservoir and the inner oil chamber of the piston rod can be adjusted equilibrium by the sequential valve.      Therefore, the problem of breakage of the oil guiding tube of the piston rod and the high cost due to confinement in material are solved.      Moreover, the sequential valve can be located outsides so that the sequential valve is adjustable at outside to a preset actuating pressure.

Title: Unfold finger for a forwardly folding planting implement
Inventor: FRIGGSTAD TERRANCE A
IPC: A01B69/02
Filed: 1999-11-10
Granted: 2008-11-04
Abstract: An agricultural implement is provided with a forward folding tool bar that is pivotally mounted on the draw bar for rotation about a transverse pivot axis as part of the folding and unfolding of the tool bar. The tool bar is provided with a tower apparatus having a passageway therethrough for alignment with pivot linkages for providing a floating movement of the pivotally mounted wing members with the wing fold actuators forming a rigid link in the pivot linkages. An unfold finger is mounted on the draw bar where the tower mechanism would be positioned upon the rotation of the tool bar into an intermediate transport position such that the unfold finger is positionable within the passageway through the tower apparatus. The unfold finger is spring-biased and incorporates lost movement slots to allow the unfold finger to yield when the passageway is blocked as the tower apparatus is moved over the unfold finger. Once engaged within the tower apparatus, the unfold finger provides a stop against which the pivot linkages push when the wing fold actuators are utilized to unfold the wing members, but is retracted from the passageway whenever the tool bar is rotated into a working position.

Abstract: A mobile switching center (MSC) in accordance with the principles of the present invention provides access to a subscriber's voice message center from the subscriber's roaming mobile station. The MSC is responsive to a "RemoteFeatureRequest" Invocation by the roaming mobile station in which the subscriber's directory number is the same as the dialed digits by routing the call from the mobile station to the subscriber's voice message center. The MSC may also be responsive to a "OriginationRequest" employing the subscriber's directory number as the dialed digits by routing the roaming mobile station's call to the subscriber's voice message center. If the MSC supports both RemoteFeatureRequest-, and OriginationRequest- based access to the subscriber's voice message center, the MSC determines which of the approaches to use in response to the reception of a subscriber's directory number as the dialed digits from the subscriber's roaming mobile station. The MSC may make this determination on the basis of information stored in a local database that indicates the method employed by other telecommunications devices, such as other MSCs, Visiting Location Registers (VLR), or Home Location Registers (HLR), within the system. One of the methods, that is, the use of an Origination Invocation or the use of a RemoteFeatureRequest invocation, may be chosen as a default method.

Title: Integrated circuit card programming modules, systems and methods
Inventor: LUNDSTROM ROBERT W
IPC: G06K17/00
Filed: 2000-09-25
Granted: 2008-04-15
Abstract: The invention relates to the programming of integrated circuit cards (22).  More particularly, the invention concerns systems and methods for integrated circuit card programming, as well as modules used for integrated circuit card programming.  Each module (10) includes a movable cassette mechanism having a plurality of card programming stations (20) thereon. The use of multiple card programming stations permits simultaneous programming of a plurality of cards. Further, the use of a single cassette (18) in the module permits the size of the module to be reduced significantly.  A modular concept is more readily adaptable to customer needs and requirements. For instance, if a customer requires more card production than that provided by a single module, a second module that is identical to the first module can be connected to the first module so that the two modules working together provide two cassettes. Additional modules can be added to further increase card production capacity.
