Title: Identifying and resolving erroneous characters output by an optical character recognition system
Inventor: MURDOCK MICHAEL C
IPC: G06K9/62
Filed: 1993-08-10
Abstract: The outputs of different OCR engines (16) are combined to identify and resolve characters and attributes of the characters that are erroneously recognized by the optical character recognition engines (16). The characters can originate from many different types of character environments. OCR engine outputs are synchronized in order to detect matches and mismatches between the OCR engine outputs by using synchronization heuristics (22). The mismatches are resolved using resolution heuristics (24) and neural networks (26). The resolution heuristics (24) and neural networks (26) are based on observing many different conventional OCR engines in different character environments to find what specific OCR engine correctly identifies a certain character having particular attributes. The results are encoded into the resolution heuristics (24) and neural networks (26) to create an optimal OCR post-processing solution. <IMAGE>
Patent GB-2283617-A (GB)
Title: Blocking through-holes in laminar substrates
Inventor: COCKETT MICHAEL ANTHONY
IPC: H05K3/34
Filed: 1993-11-02
Abstract: In order to block through-holes in laminar substrates, such as printed circuit boards, to prevent accumulation of contaminants in the through-holes, through-holes are blocked by applying a photocurable blocking material to one face of the substrate, and exposing the opposite face of the substrate to radiation to which parts of the substrate which are to be kept clean are opaque, to cure blocking material in the through-holes only. Excess uncured material may then be easily removed eg. by washing with a suitable aqueous solution.

Title: A fuel tank venting arrangement for a motor vehicle
Inventor: PARDY RONALD PETER
IPC: B60K15/04
Filed: 1994-01-27
Abstract: A fuel tank (1) having filler pipe 2 extending into the tank below the maximum desired fuel level (6), and at least one high flow vapour valve 8 attached to the tank for venting vapour from the space above the fuel, at least with the tank horizontal, includes a pressure transducer 22 for monitoring the fuel system integrity and a sensor means to sense tank filling and prevent trickle overfilling. A vent pipe 9 connects the valve 8 to an absorption canister 10, and a breather tube extends from the filler pipe 2 above the tank 1 down into the tank 1 to the level 6 (23, Figure 2), the canister (10) being connectable via ducting 13 and a solenoid operated valve 14 to the induction manifold of the engine and via ducting 15 and a solenoid operated valve 16 to the free atmosphere. The pressure transducer 22 may be in the tank, filler pipe or filler cap and it is calibrated to sense a predetermined negative tank pressure. The valves 14, 16 are operable whereby the tank 1 and the canister 10 may be connected to the manifold and the negative pressure thereafter isolated and its decay monitored in a test of the integrity of the tank 1 and connections thereto. The sensor means, such as an electrical circuit which is broken by the removal of the filler cap, produces a signal employed to cause both of the valves 14, 16 to be closed during tank filling to prevent trickle over-filling. <IMAGE>

Title: Conductive filter
Inventor: HUNTER ALEX GEORGE
IPC: B01D46/24
Filed: 1995-05-04
Abstract: A gas and vapour permeable outer layer 17 is provided that has a conductive surface coating, and is used in a filter 1 to reduce the risk of fire and/or explosion. The filter 1 may be used to separate hydrocarbons from a gas stream entering the separator 1 through inlet 11. As the gas/hydrocarbon mixture passes through the matrix layer 9, the hydrocarbons coalesce to form hydrocarbon droplets that are transported in the outer layer 17 to the base of the filter 1, where they can fall under gravity into a sump (not shown). Static electricity is prevented from building up on the outer surface 18 of the filter 1 due to the conductive coating that has been applied thereto and therefore, the risk of fire and/or explosion is reduced.
