Abstract: A method for normalizing the lighting changes in an
input image made up of an X and Y array of pixels having
various illuminating intensities, wherein the lighting
changes having an additive effect and a multiplicative
effect on the input image. The method comprises the
steps of estimating the additive effect from the input
image to provide a background estimate; estimating the
multiplicative effect from the input image to provide a
gain estimate; subtracting the background estimate from
the image; and normalizing the image with respect to the
gain estimate. Also described is an apparatus for
automatically determining the identity of an image. The
apparatus comprises video camera for acquiring the image
to be recognized and a light normalizer coupled to the
video camera for normalizing lighting changes in the
image and producing a normalized image which can be more
accurately recognized. Also included in the apparatus is
an image recognizer coupled to the light normalizer, for
receiving the normalized image and determining the
identity of the image.

Abstract: A magnetoresistive (magnetoresistive) head achieves maximum signal output with minimal
electromigration by use of two increased direct currents with different polarities which are
directed periodically through a magnetoresistive element (14) in opposite directions, with
minimal long term directional diffusion for minimizing electromigration and for increasing
the signal output. The magnetoresistive element (14) defines two magnetic centers MC + 
and MC -  that correspond to the polarities of the two currents, and the magnetic centers are
positioned at optimal magnetic locations.
