Title: Pattern recognition
Inventor: YAGASAKI TOSHIAKI
IPC: G06T7/00
Filed: 1993-01-29
Abstract: Pattern recognition apparatus and method which provides an indication of the confidence with which a candidate is selected for an unknown pattern. The pattern recognition apparatus includes an image data input device, a host for segmenting the image data into unknown patterns, and a character recognition device for providing a candidate for an unknown pattern provided by the host. The character recognition device includes a confidence level indicator for providing a confidence level indication. In one aspect, the confidence level indication is determined based on the proximity of an unknown pattern to a known pattern. In another aspect, the confidence level indication is determined based on the consistency with which the unknown pattern is recognized using different recognition functions. In yet another aspect, the confidence level indication is determined by ensuring that a candidate is not provided unless the candidate is closer than a predetermined distance from a known pattern. The pattern recognition apparatus may be provided in a stand-alone device including the image data input device, the host and the character recognition device in one integrated device, and this device may interface to a network bus. Alternatively, the pattern recognition apparatus may be distributed such that the image data input device and the character recognition device are provided with individual servers on a network bus for interface with stand-alone computers. In the case where the computers perform character-processing or word-processing, a preview function may be provided so that the results of character recognition at a remote location may be previewed before transmitting image information to the remote location.

Abstract: A child resistant box, more particularly a matchbox, comprising an outer sleeve (2) and an inner tray (3), the tray (3) being slidable relative to the sleeve (2) to open or close the box. The sleeve (2) has a section (5) secured to the tray (3) by a hot melt adhesive. The section (5) may be separated from the remainder of the sleeve (2) by folding two side portions (B) of the section (5) along fold lines (8) by gripping cut-outs (7) to break serrations (6) joining the section (5) to the remainder of the sleeve (2). To slide the sleeve relative to the tray the section (5) is deformed inwardly to release it from the aperture in the sleeve formed by separation of the section (5). 
     The section (5) may be completely removed from the box by ripping it from the underside of the tray.

Abstract: A pulse counting apparatus which has a simple structure and makes few count errors. When the number of pulses at a wrist or the neck of the user counted by means of palpation amounts to 10 and the user stops by using an S1 key the measurement of the pulse counting time period in a timer (T), it is determined whether the pulse counting time period is 3 seconds or less (FIG. 4, step S41). If the time period is 3 seconds or less, it is determined that the pulse is miscounted, the value of the timer (T) is cleared (step S42) and "1" is set in a flag (G). As a result, the apparatus is switched to a measurement mode. If the time period exceeds 3 seconds (step S41), pulse per minute is calculated from the time period and the number of the pulses (step S44) 10. An exercise intensity corresponding to the pulse is calculated from the pulse and the set age of the user (step S45). The pulse and the exercise intensity is displayed in a display (8).

Abstract: A CDMA communications method capable of multiplex transmission of data over a wide range from a low rate to high rate such as image data without a considerable increase in a circuit scale. A fundamental transmission rate is determined, for example, at 32 kbps, a rate higher than 8 kbps conventionally used. The data whose transmission rate is equal to the fundamental transmission rate is transmitted in frames including no vacant portion. Data whose transmission rate is lower than the fundamental transmission rate (16 kbps, for example) are transmitted in frames including vacant portions. The vacant portions are not transmitted. This makes it possible to receive data through other channels during a time period associated with the vacant portions. Data of a higher transmission rate, 128 kbps, for example, can be multiplexed and transmitted through four channels using different spreading codes.

Abstract: A communication apparatus (e.g., a fax apparatus) (Figure 1) provides secure message transmission by sending messages having an unrestricted portion (e.g., a header) and a restricted portion (e.g., the body of the message). The unrestricted portion is always outputted at the receiving apparatus; however, access to the restricted portion is provided only in response to receiving predetermined information from a user (e.g., a message recipient). This information may include either the use of a password or the use of a PIN code following the insertion of a user's smart card into the receiving apparatus. If the restricted portion is encrypted, the user must either provide the decryption key to enable the receiving apparatus to decrypt the restricted message or his/her smart card must perform the actual decryption of the restricted message.

Abstract: A system for mapping absolute acoustic noise intensity in a three-dimensional acoustic noise field, and using three-dimensional absolute noise intensities to infer operational or performance characteristics of components or structures within the monitored field. Localized noise sources are extracted using a distant array of transducers, and the absolute intensity can be measured even when totally masked by background noise at the transducer locations. The system includes an integrated sensor installation; a neural network detection system algorithm; a zoom system to precisely examine a small region in the steam generator vessel; a fuzzy logic system detection algorithm; and an expert detection system. The signal processing subsystem operates at three different levels of detection. At the top level of detection a trained neural network system monitors the vessel length for any indication of a leak. The proposed approach uses discriminators which do not require any beamforming of the sensor signals. The presence of a leak and the general location in the vessel is determined using a fuzzy logic expert system. The leak indications are passed to a second level of detection: a beamformed system which will monitor the indicated portion of the vessel. A third level of detection systematically monitors the tagged locations to determine if a leak is really present, remaining on the specific locations to detect a leak above the defined threshold to a high degree of accuracy. The actions to be taken will be controlled by a second fuzzy logic expert interface controller.

Abstract: The emission control system of the present invention removes the small amounts of polluting gases released from various parts of the automobile. These polluting gases are released from, for example, fuel oozing out from connections of the pipes in the fuel system, lubricating oil oozing out from engine body, and solvents and adhesives remaining in the interior and exterior parts of the automobile. In the emission control system of the present invention, collectors and suction pipes are provided. The collectors are disposed at the parts of the automobile from where the polluting gases are released in such a manner that the collectors enclose these parts. The suction pipes connect the respective collectors to an intake nose of an air cleaner disposed in an intake air passage of the engine. Therefore, the polluting gases released from various parts of the automobile are drawn into the engine through the respective suction pipes before they diffuse into the atmosphere, and are burned in the engine. Thus, according to the present invention, the polluting gases released from various parts of the automobile are prevented from diffusing into the atmosphere.
