Patent GB-1403917-A (GB)
Title: Method and a circuit for centring a character supplied to the evaluation device of character recognition apparatus
IPC: G06V30/146
Filed: 1972-11-30
Abstract: 1403917 Character recognition systems LICENTIA PATENT - VERWALTUNGS GmbH 30 Nov 1972 [30 Nov 1971] 55465/72 Heading G4R A centring arrangement centres in a matrix store an array of signals representing the scanned character. Centring data is derived by determining the position in the scanned field of stroke elements of the character, or of tangents to the character, that lie perpendicular to the direction of centring. This system overcomes incorrect centring consequent upon the character being poorly printed. Signals representing the scanned field are fed in to a matrix store (1, Fig. 1, not shown) comprising serially connected shift registers, shift pulses "rolling" the field through the store. The outputs of one cell A of the store and of a number of cells about that cell A are passed to a circuit (5) which, in the case of vertical centring determines whether or not the signal in cell A currently represents an elementary area of the field that lies within the character outline and on the horizontal centre line of a horizontal stroke element or horizontal portion of the character. If it does a 1-bit is placed in a shift register (7) stepped at the same rate as the matrix store (1). In the case of characters having horizontal stroke elements of substantial length, as in OCR-A, a 1-bit is placed in a second shift register (8) if, as the character rolls through the matrix, two or more columns of the matrix contain 1-bits on the same stroke element centre line row, i.e. a centre line is detected and is indicated by the bit in the second shift register irrespective of any gaps in the stroke element. In the case of other characters, e.g. OCR-B, a 1-bit is placed in the second register only if two adjacent columns of the matrix contain 1- bits on the same tangent to the centre line of a horizontal portion of the character. The second register thus contains 1-bits at positions indicating the horizontal of the character in the field. A third register (9) fed by an OR gate (2) connected to the columns of the matrix store (1) contains a sequence of 1-bits equivalent to the height, or vertical shadow, of the character. The shift registers are all stepped at the same rate. The second and third registers feed a logic circuit (10) which develops centring values. For any one character several successive centring values may be developed, the values being of different centring accuracy depending upon the number and position of the stroke element portions defined by the bits in the second register (8) in each cycle of this register. The value having the greatest accuracy is used to read the character from the matrix store 1 to another store 18 so that it appears vertically centred in it. Horizontal centring may be performed analogously.

Title: Microwave transmission line and devices using multiple coplanar conductors
IPC: H01P5/10
Filed: 1973-12-07
Abstract: 1455155 Microwave strip-line circuits RCA CORPORATION 7 Dec 1973 [14 Dec 1972] 56791/73 Heading H1W [Also in Division H3] Devices are constructed which utilize the ability of a so-called "co-planar" transmission line to propagate wave energy in both even and odd modes. Such a line consists of a dielectric substrate carrying on one surface a ribbon conductor spaced on either side from two similar, parallel conductors usually of greater width than the central conductor. The even mode is associated with symmetrical electric fields extending from the central conductor to the two outer conductors, and the odd mode with an electric field extending between the outer conductors and asymmetric about the centre of the line. These modes will propagate within a chosen frequency band provided the relative widths of the central conductor and its spacing from the outer conductor lie within a certain range (fully discussed in the Specification. In particular, if the characteristic impedances associated with the various modes are to be independent of the thickness t of the substrate, then t must be greater than 4b where b is the distance between the centre-line of the central strip and the nearer edges of the outer strips. In the directional coupler of Fig. 5, the coplanar line 51, 55, 57 has a length at the centre of the band of operation. Input/ output terminals are provided by co-axial sockets 66, 67, 68, 69 having outer conductors connected to the outer line conductors 55, 57 and inner conductors connected by wires 70, 71, 72, 73 to the central line conductor 51. The coupler is designed in accordance with known procedures in terms of the odd and even mode impedances of the line. The balun shown in Fig. 6 comprises a co-planar line 81, 88, 89 of length #/4. Central conductor 81 and outer conductors 88, 89 in common provide input terminals for an unbalanced transmission line. One of the outer conductors (89) and a common connection 79 to the other outer conductor 88 and the central conductor 81 provide output terminals to a balanced transmission line. At the unbalanced end, a wire 76 connects the outer conductors. The necessary impedance conditions for effective operation over a band of frequencies are discussed in the Specification.
