Title: System and method for imaging test answer sheets having open-ended questions
Inventor: KUCINSKI BERNARD
IPC: G06K17/00
Filed: 1998-07-13
Abstract: An imaging system includes two sets of cameras: a first set for capturing optical mark or optical character recognition data and a second set for capturing visual images. Full visual images of pages containing answers to open-ended questions are retained and are retrievable by a reader such that an area of interest wherein the answer is expected is displayed, but the remaining area is also available for viewing. The system permits the alignment of a page based upon edge detection if the page contains only an open-ended answer, obviating the need for timing tracks. Hardware and software elements cooperate to store the image temporarily in a server having a response time commensurate with the scanner. The image is then processed with the use of high-performance index imaging for optical storage and retrieval, and then routed to a long-term storage device.

Patent GB-2364608-A (GB)
Title: Video motion detector which is insensitive to global change
Inventor: FISHER PAUL CONWAY
IPC: G08B13/194
Filed: 2000-04-11
Abstract: A video motion detector having immunity to global change, achieved by a method of combining video readings taken on one frame of video to produce a characteristic value (CV) being a number which represents the intrinsic nature of that video frame. This CV is then stored and subsequently compared with a CV taken at a later time. If the amount of change is outside a permitted threshold an alarm is raised. The method of combining video readings to form a CV includes a method to divide the readings into two groups, then adding one group to the CV whilst subtracting the other group from the CV. Global changes, e.g. an increase in ambient brightness which would normally cause an increase in every video reading, are negated by this method. The video motion detector also has a method of controlling a video recorder, and raising an audible alarm. The simplicity of this method of globally-immune motion detection means that the device can be constructed with much less hardware than is usual, with the obvious commercial benefits.

Title: Accessing voice mail using Java and WWW
Inventor: SIVAN ZOHAR
IPC: H04M7/00
Filed: 2000-06-01
Abstract: A Java implemented system connects a telephony Voice-response system, such as a Voice-mail box or an IVR, and a terminal over the Internet. An IP-PSTN gateway is used to bridge the telephony world and the IP network. A Java-based client 17 communicates with a standard HTTP web server 16 for sending dialing information and other instructions to the Voice-response system. The web server communicates with the IP-PSTN gateway 13 using a servlet 14 or cgi-bin script running on the HTTP web server. Instructions pass to the Voice-response system and audio data is sent in real-time from the Voice-response system to the gateway, where it is compressed and forwarded to the client which decompresses the audio data and plays the messages. The user operates the Voice-response system in conventional manner, so that standard Voice-response functionality is maintained. The client is written in Java as an applet, so any Java-enabled web browser can run the client and connect to the HTTP web server. Dialing information and instructions which are sent from the applet to the Voice-response system, can be easily configured in the client.

Title: Dispensing a beverage
Inventor: ANDERSON IAIN WALLACE
IPC: B67D1/14
Filed: 2001-07-09
Abstract: A method of dispensing a draught beverage, for example a beer, having a water content and a dissolved gas content; the beverage issuing from a mixing nozzle 24 into a drinking glass 26. The beverage is subjected to nucleation causing nucleation sites to occur in the beverage, at which sites ice is encouraged to form. Draught beverage from a beverage supply 12 is initially cooled by chiller 16 before reaching the mixing nozzle 24 in which the beverage mixes with coolant from a coolant supply 14 before going into the glass 26. This mixing and cooling by the coolant in the mixing nozzle causes nucleation and ice to form in the beverage before it is delivered into the glass. The coolant may be cold liquified gas, for example liquid nitrogen, or may be solid carbon dioxide. Nucleation may also be brought about by subjecting the beverage to audible sound or light eg from a laser.
