Abstract: There is provided an image reading apparatus which reads an image pattern of a medium placed on a detection surface of a sensor array (100). In a waiting state, electrical connection between the sensor array (100) and a drive controller (110, 120) is cut off, and whether a medium is placed on the detection surface or not is detected. When a medium is placed on the detection surface, the sensor array (100) and the drive controller (110, 120) are electrically connected and an image reading operation is started. In a case where the medium is separated from the detection surface during the image reading operation, the image reading operation is suspended and the image reading apparatus is set to the waiting state.

Title: Masked image projection system and method
Inventor: SISODIA ASHOK
IPC: G09B9/32
Filed: 2005-02-10
Abstract: A display apparatus displays projected images to a user. A viewing station comprising a dummy cockpit structure receives the user such that the eye of the user at a point in time is at an eyepoint in a viewing volume of possible eyepoints defined by the range of movement of the user at the viewing station. First and second projection screen portions face the eyepoint. A first projector directs light to shine through an aperture in the first projection screen portion so as to project an image on the second projection screen portion. A mask is adjustably supported between the aperture and the viewing station, and is configured so that it covers the part of a last lens surface of the projector viewable through the aperture when viewed from any eyepoint in a viewing volume of possible eyepoints of the user, and prevents the user seeing light scattered from the last optical surface of the projector. The second projector projects light on the first screen portion and an inside surface of the mask so as to form thereon a second image visible to the user.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and device for correcting the thickness of a metallic strip (1) during rolling with a roll stand (2) equipped with setting elements for regulating the thickness of the metallic strip and with at least one coiler (4). The aim of the invention is to provide a method and device for correcting the thickness of a metallic strip during rolling with a roll stand, which ensures the production of rolled strips with a reduced thickness tolerance. To this end, the invention provides that an average strip thickness of a strip section is determined from at least one strip length measurement and from the measurement of the associated rotation of the coiler, and the setting elements of the roll stand are controlled at least according to the average strip thickness of the strip section. The inventive method enables the setting elements to be controlled virtually independent of the surrounding conditions of the roll stand thereby enabling the thickness tolerances of the rolled strip to be effectively reduced.

IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2003-12-11
Abstract: A system and method for identifying critical features in an ordered scale space within a multi-dimensional feature space is described. Features are extracted from a plurality of data collections. Each data collection is characterized by a collection of features semantically-related by a grammar. Each feature is normalized and frequencies of occurrence and co-occurrences for the feature for each of the data collections is determined. The occurrence frequencies and the co-occurrence frequencies for each of the features are mapped into a set of patterns of occurrence frequencies and a set of patterns of co-occurrence frequencies. The pattern for each data collection is selected and distance (similarity) measures between each occurrence frequency in the selected pattern is calculated. The occurrence frequencies are projected onto a one-dimensional document signal in order of relative decreasing similarity using the similarity measures. Wavelet and scaling coefficients are derived from the one-dimensional document signal using multiresolution analysis.
