Abstract: 1,144,414. Character recognition. INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ELECTRIC CORP. 9 Nov., 1967 [15 Nov., 1966], No. 51070/67. Heading G4R. In character recognition apparatus having a matrix of photocells across which the character is scanned repetitively at successively displaced positions, the photocells feed a combining matrix feeding stores which feed a maximum detection circuit, the stores or maximum detection circuit being enabled, when the character has reached a suitable position for recognition, by an AND gate controlled by bi-stables, each of the bi-stables being set via a respective threshold device from the output of a respective photocell in one row of the photocell matrix, the threshold devices being also connected to an AND gate to reset the bi-stables after each scan. In the drawing, a revolving mirror repetitively scans the character down a matrix FDM of photocells as the document moves comparatively slowly to the right. The photocell outputs are combined in an admittance matrix to feed stores SP, a maximum value circuit identifying the character from the store outputs. Black signals detected by the photocells of the lowest row set respective bi-stables FF1-FF5 via threshold devices S1-S5. After each scan (passage of the character over the photocell matrix FDM), AND gate & 1 resets the bi-stables FF1-FF5 in response to all white in the lowest row of photocells. When FF1-3 are set and FF4-5 are reset, indicating that the character has advanced a certain distance across the matrix and the previous character has moved off it, AND gate & 2 sets bi-stable FF6 to enable the stores SP to store the outputs of the combining matrix. When, subsequently, FF1-2 are reset and FF3-5 are set, indicating that the character was once completely on the matrix and no subsequent character has reached the matrix, AND gate & 3 resets FF6 to enable the maximum value circuit.

A grinding machine comprises a feed mechanism 30, a traverse motor 10, a common supply #1 of fluid under pressure for actuating the feed mechanism and traverse motor, and means operable when the feed mechanism is in advanced position to disconnect the feed mechanism from the common supply. The traverse motor 20 effects longitudinal movement between the workpiece and grinding wheel and has a cylinder 10 connected to a work carriage 11 and slidable on a piston 12 secured to members 15, 16 on a bed 17. The feed mechanism effects transverse movement and consists of a cylinder 30 in bed 17 and slidably receives a piston 31 having a rod 32 formed with a threaded portion 35 engaging a wheel 36 on a shaft 37 in a grinding wheel support 40. The shaft also has a wheel 38 engaging a worm 39 on a shaft having a hand wheel 46 and a pinion 47 meshing with a rack 48 movable by a slow feed piston 50 in cylinder 51. A reversing valve 60 and stop-start valve 61 in a housing 62 control the motor 10, and valves 65, 66, 67 control the supply from pumps #1,#2. In operation, when solenoid SOL 1 is energized to move valve 65 to the left, fluid from pump #1 is supplied to the upper end of rapid feed cylinder 30 to advance the grinding wheel support. At the end of the stroke of piston 31, the pressure of the exhaust from the lower end of the cylinder falls and permits valves 66 and 67 to move to the right and left, respectively, and disconnect pumps #2 from the cylinder 30 and connect pump #1 both to the cylinder 30 to retain the piston 31 in its advanced position and to cylinder 51 to cause a slow advance of piston 50. The feed mechanism is thereby free of fluctuations in pressure from pump #1 during operation of motor 10 which is then operated under the control of the valves 60, 61 upon actuation of a handle 70.
