Patent EP-0586210-A2 (EP)
Inventor: TAKAHASHI HIROYASU
IPC: G06V30/10
Filed: 1993-08-27
Abstract: A neural network architecture is provided for optical character recognition from an input image in which the target character may be rotated in the image plane. The architecture includes hidden units (18, 20) whose inputs receive image information from portions of the image which are rotationally distributed. That is, the local link between input units (16) and the hidden units is adequate for rotation of the character in the image. Therefore, regardless of the orientation of the image, it is right side up, or approximately so, with respect to one of the hidden units. The hidden units have corresponding inputs with corresponding weight factors, i.e., symmetric weight sharing. Thus, regardless of the orientation of the image, one of the hidden units will produce a high output value indicative of an upright character. Alternatively, a single hidden unit has groups of inputs, each group having a corresponding set of weight factors. The groups are coupled to input units for rotationally distributed portions of the image. Therefore, for any orientation of the image corresponding with one of the groups of inputs of the hidden unit, the hidden unit produces the same output value. In an preferred embodiment, feature information such as local contour direction information is provided to the input units. The feature information is provided with respect to slices of the image taken in different directions.

Abstract: A sequence controller (30) controls gradient pulse amplifiers (20) and a digital transmitter (24) to apply a conventional magnetic resonance imaging or spectroscopy sequence. One or more of the resonance excitation pulses includes a series of very small tip angle RF pulses (52,70) applied in rapid succession substantially within the time interval of a normal RF excitation pulse (e.g. 10 msec.). A series of gradient pulses (58x, 58y, 72y, 72z) with linearly diminishing amplitudes and a repetition cycle that is an integer multiple of the duration of the very small tip angle RF pulses are applied such that an excitation trajectory in k-space follows a piecewise linear square spiral (FIGURE 3) when gradients are applied along two axes or an octahedral spiral (FIGURE 6) when a series of gradient pulses are applied along three axes. The subregion of resonance excitation is selectively shifted along one of the axes by applying a series of frequency offset pulses (66, 76) along one or more of the axes. In this manner, the position of the subregion of resonance excitation is shifted without changing the phase component of the RF pulses.

Abstract: A character-detecting section detects characters from an image that has been read from a document. In order to allow a character-recognizing section to make a judgement as to whether or not the character is identical to any character of specific documents, such as paper money and securities, stored in a RAM, a discrimination-level setting section generates discrimination patterns corresponding to the discrimination level, and supplies them to the character-recognizing section. As a result of the judgement based on the discrimination at a low level, if the document is judged as one of the specific documents, a specific-document judging section controls the discrimination-level setting section in order to allow the character-recognizing section to make a re-judgement for identification. Thus, the discrimination-level setting section supplies discrimination patterns at a higher level to the character-recognizing section. This arrangement makes it possible to shorten the processing time that is required for discrimination as to whether or not the document in question is any of the specific documents, as well as making it possible to ensure the reliability of discrimination.

Abstract: A process for forming an integral flange (8) on a tube (1) made from cross-linked, partially crystalline thermoplastics, esp. polyolefin involves (a) clamping the tube (1) so that an unsupported length projects from the clamped length; (b) heating the inside and outside of the projecting length and inside the tube (1) at the boundary (3) between clamped and free sections; (c) axially compressing the projecting tube end to form a bulge which folds to form two annular discs (6, 7); (d) cooling the radially outer edges of the discs (6, 7) to produce progressive partial crystallisation and stabilise the flange created by both discs (6, 7). Claimed process equipment includes a shell-like tool (10) in two parts, with a smaller dia. part for holding the tube (1) and a larger dia. part for forming the flange. A heater fits into the tool (10), heats both inner and outer tube walls, extends over the full length of the projecting end externally, beyond the projecting length internally and has a dia. larger than the formed flange. A forming ram (30) has a contact face (34) for the tube end (4) and is divided into cooling (33) and non-cooling (31, 32) areas. The non-cooling areas (31, 32) are at a temp. which induces no new partial crystallinity into the plastic and the cooling area (33) temp. creates partial crystallinity.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for image scaling of continuous tone images to be rasterized and output to a recording or imaging device using incremental interpolation. The method employs multiple parallel interpolators, each of which contains an accumulation sum to which an accumulation constant is added. When each accumulation sum exceeds a reference value, a transition event is signaled, to be used for selection of contone image data value for processing. By initially loading the accumulation sums with shifted data and employing interpolation logic, multiple transition events can be calculated within one output resolution processing cycle.

Abstract: An electrochemical cell (50) for deionisation utilises electrochemical ion-exchange to remove ions from a feed solution. Under the influence of an electric field, ions are adsorbed into, are stored within and pass through a permeable layer (54, 64) of particulate ion-absorbing material and binder, the sheet being several millimetres thick. Water from the feed solution also permeates through the layer (54, 64), so a concentrated solution of the ions emerges from the rear (58) of the layer. The cell does not require separate sources of feed and eluant solutions and can be operated substantially continuously. In a modified cell (70) the flow path for the feed solution passes through a highly porous ion exchanger structure (77), which may be located between two such microporous layers (54, 64). Absorption in such a cell may be effective in the absence of an electric field, elution requiring the periodic application of the electric field.

Abstract: A system and method for editing program material provide viewers with real-time editing control. Digital program material are divided into relatively short segments and each of these segments are rated to indicate a level of potentially objectionable material contained therein. Each segment is tagged to indicate this rating. Prior to viewing the program material, or during playback of the program material, the viewer determines the rating level at which he or she wishes to view the program material. This rating level is entered into the playback system. Upon playback, the system examines the tag of each segment to determine whether that segment should be played. If a segment is tagged to indicate a rating with a higher level than that requested by the viewer, the tag is edited and not displayed. Thus, the program material is edited in real time as it is displayed to the viewer.
