Patent EP-0738987-A2 (EP)
Title: Processing machine readable forms
Inventor: HIRSCH DAVID EDWARD
IPC: G06V30/10
Filed: 1996-04-12
Abstract: A forms creation and processing system which identifies and locates the active areas (104,105,106,109) of a form (101) using forms landmarks (102,103,107,108). The present invention eliminates the need to place predefined registration marks onto a machine readable form (101). The active areas of a form are those which may contain a user created mark, such as a checkbox (104,105,106) or a signature box (109). A form is preanalyzed at the same time that the active areas are being described. The aim of the preanalysis is to find a set of graphic shapes, i.e. landmarks, that can be found on the form independent of their location or orientation in the image. Examples of such landmarks include paragraphs of text (107,108), heavy black lines and gray scale areas. The analysis looks at the geometric distribution and regularities of the connected components to choose a set of landmarks. The landmarks and active areas on the form are stored in a forms control file. A forms interpreter uses the forms control file to locate and examine the active areas of an instance of a form to determine if a mark has been placed thereon.

Abstract: In wireless local area networks utilising frequency-hopping between different channels spaced over an allotted frequency band, two or more groups of transceivers in close proximity may be arranged to operate satisfactorily with the full bandwidth available to each by arranging that their hop sequences are kept separate. This may be achieved by arranging for the hop sequence of one group or of each group to skip at intervals from one point to another in the sequence, chosen at random.

Abstract: The invention relates to a double-acting antenna of a radio communication device, whereby the antenna can be pushed partly inside the cover (4) of the radio communication device and whereby it function as an antenna both in the extracted or active position (Fig.3a) and in the retracted or passive position (Fig.3b). In the passive position that section (2) of the antenna which is pushed inside the cover (4) of the radio communication device functions as a part of the matching circuit (19), which adapts the impedance of the section left outside so that it corresponds to the impedance of the antenna port (11) of the radio communication device. For this purpose the arrangement comprises connecting means (10) to connect one end of the retracted section (2) to the ground potential the electrical length of the retracted section (2) is substantially shorter than a quarter of the used wave-length.

Abstract: The invention relates to a directional coupler arrangement and measurement of radio frequency electric power with a directional coupler arrangement, which arrangement comprises a directional coupler, in which a terminal impedance, a detector element and a control circuit are connected between the end of the second conductor element and the earth potential. The impedance value of the terminal impedance can be altered by means of an electric control signal and said control circuit produces said control signal on the basis of the signal provided by the detector element. When the detected power level is low, the control circuit increases the impedance value of the terminal impedance, whereby the peak voltage of the signal applied to one end of the directional coupler increases and the arrangement yields a measurement result that is larger than ordinary, which improves the accuracy and reliability of the arrangement at low power levels.

Abstract: A multiplexing-resultant surround signal is decoded into
multiple-channel signals including at least a first left-channel signal,
a first right-channel signal, and a rear-channel signal. Samples of
the rear-channel signal are thinned out to generate a thinning-resultant
rear-channel signal. The thinning-resultant rear-channel
signal is subjected to a given process to convert the thinning-resultant
rear-channel signal into a left surround-related signal and
a right surround-related signal. The given process is designed to
localize sound images at rear positions with respect to a listener
when a rear loudspeaker is absent and only front loudspeakers are
used. A surround-effect-added left-channel signal is generated on
the basis of the first left-channel signal and the left surround-related
signal. A surround-effect-added right-channel signal is generated on
the basis of the first right-channel signal and the right surround-related
signal.

is correlated with a particular uniformity value. As
such, the system produces a uniformity value for a
semiconductor wafer using an in situ measurement
technique.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method in winding of a paper
web, in which method the paper web is wound by means
of a winder or equivalent and in which method the running
speed of the winder is controlled. In the method, the running
speed (S) of the winder is controlled based on the
frequency of rotation of the roll so that, when the frequency
of rotation of the roll approaches a range of oscillation
(1,2), i.e. a range of frequency of rotation of the
roll in which intensive oscillation occurs, the running
speed (S) is lowered quickly so that the speed of rotation
of the roll is reduced to a level lower than the lower frequency
of the range of oscillation (1,2), and after this the
running speed (S) of the winder is increased so that the
frequency of rotation (F) of the roll remains invariable
until the original running speed (S) of the winder is
reached.

Abstract: Disclosed is an ATM switching apparatus capable of
reducing a probability an IAM acceptance being rejected
due to a difference in bandwidth acquiring algorithm.
The ATM switching apparatus is constructed such that
when receiving an IAR due to the difference in bandwidth
calculation algorithm for the IAM indicating a use of a
certain VPC, a calculated bandwidth value is set in an
estimated free bandwidth value about the VPC within a
bandwidth management table, a value given by Calculation
Bandwidth Value/Free bandwidth Value is set in a ratio,
and the VPC is selected by using not the free bandwidth
value but the estimated free bandwidth value (= Free
Bandwidth Value × Ratio) when transmitting the IAM. It
is another contrivance that when the free bandwidth
value changes, the estimated free bandwidth value is
also changed to establish " Estimated Free Bandwidth
Value = Free Bandwidth Value × Ratio " without changing
the ratio.
