Abstract: In a projection means black pixel histograms of a binary stationary
image are generated in both the vertical and the horizontal direction. In a
text type judgment means, in accordance with these histograms, a determination
is made of whether the image is vertical text or horizontal text. Based on the
result of this determination, a pattern block extraction means extracts either
a column or a row from the image. The block is further projected and divided
into smaller blocks. Then projection is again applied to these divided blocks
and patterns are extracted by a pattern extraction means. A judgment is made as
to whether or not joining of the extracted patterns is to be performed and, if
joining is required, they are joined by a pattern joining means and finally the
offsets of all the extracted patterns are calculated, whereupon data (of
extracted patterns) are sent to a pattern matching process.

Abstract: The luer adapter of this invention includes a barbed portion having a generally cylindrical distal portion, a generally conical portion, a generally cylindrical portion and a generally outwardly tapered proximal portion. The shape of the barb is substantially the same as the shape of the lumen at the proximal end of a catheter but is slightly larger radially and slightly shorter axially than the proximal portion of the lumen. This ensures that when the barb is inserted into the proximal portion of the lumen the luer adapter is positively locked to the catheter.

Abstract: A wedge shaped platen scanner (4) sequentially records opposing pages of a bound (6) document positioned thereon using a single imaging station (32). A mirror (14) is positioned between the sides (10, 12) of the platen (8). A controller (38) positions the mirror (14) in one of two operational positions. In the first operational position (Fig. 1), the mirror (14) is positioned so that light from side (12) of platen (8) reflects off of the mirror (14) and onto the single imaging station (32). In the second operational position (Fig 2), the mirror (14) is moved out of the imaging station's optical path. In each operational position, the lamp (23) can sequentially illuminate the opposing pages (20, 22) of the bound document (6) with each of the three primary colors: red green, and blue, and the images thereof are focused with optics (30) onto the imaging station (32).

Abstract: A clothes treating apparatus and method for subjecting clothes items to moisture,
pressure and heat for refreshing and dewrinkling the clothes items. A cabinet defines an
interior region for receiving clothes, the interior region having opposed inner side surfaces. A
door is hingedly connected to the cabinet for closing the interior region. An inflatable hanger
for supporting shirt-like clothes items is disposed within the interior region. A blower
selectively inflates the inflatable hanger for pressing the shirt-like clothes item against the
cabinet inner side surfaces. A steam generation means is provided for introducing moist air
into the cabinet for humidifying the clothes item disposed therein. A heater and fan supply
heated air into the interior region for drying the shirt-like clothes items disposed therein.
During the dewrinkling cycle, steam is introduced into the interior region while the inflatable
hanger assembly is periodically inflated. Following the steaming period, the inflatable hanger
is inflated while the clothes are subject to warm air such that the clothes wrinkles are pressed
out and the clothes are partially dried, setting the clothes in a smooth appearance. Heated air
is then delivered into the interior region to completely dry the clothes item.

Abstract: In an ATM network, a data base is provided in a
network controller for holding data pertaining to network
topology and remaining network resource. The controller
has a supervisory circuit that constantly monitors
communication links between ATM switches. Route decision
and resource reservation logic circutry is provided for
updating the data base if a faulty condition is detected
by the supervisory circuit. The logic circuitry
receives, from a source terminal, a reservation request
indicating a reservation of an end-to-end network
resource between a scheduled start time and a scheduled
end time, and makes a search through the data base to
reserve the network resource in the data base if the
network resource is available. The logic circuit causes
the ATM switches to establish an end-to-end connection
using the reserved network resource at the scheduled
start time, informs the source terminal of a VCI/VPI of
the established connection for the subsequent
transmission of messages, releases the established
connection when the request in the registration memory
indicates the scheduled end time, and removes the request
from the registration memory.

Abstract: A method of maintaining mutual consistency between copies of
data stored at nodes in a network, the nodes comprising a server node,
and a number of client nodes at remote locations, such as laptop
computers linked by cellular telephone connections, the nodes being
connected intermittently. 
     Following a reconnection between the remote client node and
another of the nodes, timestamp information on objects cached at the
other node, is sent to the remote client node. At the remote client node,
the timestamp information is compared with corresponding information
relating to the local copy, to determine if each of the cached objects is
more up to date than the local copy. The cached objects are updated
based on the local copy, according to the result of the comparison. This
peer to peer resynchronisation means that the server need not monitor
and control the process, so the system is more easily scaled up to handle
more clients.
