Abstract: The amplitude or frequency of a sinusoidal signal represented as sample values S₁, S₂, S₃, S₄ is estimated by computing a triplet of differences x₁, x₂, x₃, where x₁ is a difference between S₂ and S₁, x₂ is a difference between S₃ and S₂, and x₃ is a difference between S₄ and S₃. An indication of the estimate of the amplitude or frequency is computed as a ratio of algebraic functions of the differences x₁, x₂, x₃. The amplitude is computed as the square root of a first ratio of algebraic functions, and the frequency is computed as an arc-cosine function of a second ratio of algebraic functions. Preferably the ratio is evaluated by a division operation computed as a polynomial approximation, and the square root function and the arc-cosine function are also computed as a polynomial approximation. Preferably ratios computed from a plurality of triplets are averaged together to give more accurate estimates. Preferably any ratio having a denominator value that has a magnitude less than a threshold value is excluded from the average of the ratios, so that the average will not be corrupted by any inaccurate result that could be obtained when dividing by a relatively small number. The method can be used for compensating a parasitic capacitance, or for monitoring the health of a plurality of signals in an electronic circuit.

Abstract: A service station (500) for use with an inkjet printer (100) is described. The service station (500) includes a sled (503) that is mounted to the printer's chassis (501). Caps (702a) and wipers (703a) can be mounted on the sled (503) for each of the printer's movable carriage-mounted printheads. The sled (503) and the chassis (501), and the sled (503) and carriage (102), are each cam-coupled so that movement of the carriage (102) produces slight vertical and lateral movement of the sled (503) out of a nominal position to automatically place the sled (503) in one of three primary positions relative to the carriage (102): an elevated position for capping the printheads, an intermediate position for wiping the printheads and a lowered position for free reciprocal movement of the carriage without interference between the printheads and either the caps (702a) or the wipers (703a). In one embodiment of the invention, prior to wiping the printhead of a print cartridge (1301a), the print cartridge (1301a) is spitted to wet the printhead. Such spitting is particularly beneficial for a print cartridge (1301d) that dispenses a pigmented ink (frequently a black ink), since the pigmented ink tends to crust on the printhead more than inks that are dyes. Preferably, a plurality of drops of ink are spit from the print cartridge (1301a) at each of a plurality of frequencies. The method according to the invention is applicable to printers (100) including one or more print cartridges (1301a, 1301b, 1301c or 1301d).

Abstract: A latent image bar code reader located in relation to a filmstrip transport path for reading bar code data imprinted on the edge of a filmstrip. The LIBC reader comprises at least one illumination source and linear array of CCD elements extending transversely from one side wall of the film transport path that provides an output signal at each CCD element dependent on the intensity of the illumination in the image pixel impinging thereon. The side wall is configured with respect to the illumination source and CCD linear array to block a first segment of the CCD elements from receiving any light at all to thereby provide a "black level" or zero output reference signal level and to expose a second segment of the CCD elements to full intensity light in at least a minimum gap between the closest edge of the filmstrip and the side wall to provide a "white level" or 100% output reference signal level for calibration and comparison to signal levels to signals from the remaining CCD elements referencing black and white bar codes. The output signals are processed to detect the first edge of the filmstrip by the contrast in signal amplitude due to attenuation of the transmitted light intensity by the filmstrip substrate at the junction of the filmstrip with the gap. Once the edge of the filmstrip is identified, the output signals of segments of the CCD array aligned to the clock and data tracks are sampled, digitized and compared to reference signals to discern the bar code pattern in the clock and data tracks. The bounds of the segments of CCD elements sampled are preferably set as sample time boundary functions triggered on edge detection.

Abstract: In the present invention, an input handwritten character pattern is subjected to character recognition processing, and a recognition reliability of the character as a standard characteristic feature pattern is determined from the recognition result. If the recognition reliability is low, a warning is issued. In response to the warning, a user or operator can decide whether the character pattern should be registered in the user dictionary (106). If it is decided that the character pattern should be registered in the user dictionary, the character pattern is stored in the user dictionary with the information representing that the character pattern has low recognition reliability. When character patterns registered in the user dictionary are displayed on a screen, these characters are displayed in such a manner that it is possible to distinguish characters having low recognition reliability from characters having high recognition reliability. There is also provided a user name index file (5309) for storing information regarding characteristic features of a handwritten character pattern peculiar to a specific user. Furthermore, there is also provided a password input-and-decision part (5103) for making a decision of whether or not allow to access to the user dictionary based on the information of the handwritten character pattern input by a specific user.

Abstract: A method and system are disclosed for searching and matching gesture-based data such as handwriting without performing a recognition process on the handwritten gesture data to convert it to a standard computer-coded form. Target data (16) collected as sample data points (20,22) of spatial coordinates over time are concatenated into a single target gesture sequence of sample data points. The sample data points comprising the gesture-based data structure to be searched (the corpus) are grouped into corpus gesture sequences for matching against the target gesture sequence. Matching may be done by any suitable method, and a novel signal comparison technique based on dynamic time warping concepts is illustrated. The result of the matching is a list of the locations of the matching corpus gesture sequences in the corpus, which in turn may be used for further processing, such as the display of an image of the matching corpus gestures for a system user. The ability to determine the existence and location of a gesture in the corpus that matches a target gesture (10) is the basis for performing a variety of additional functions, such as a "find and replace" function and the ability to use gestures as keywords to index a gesture-based data structure without performing recognition on either the keyword gestures or the gesture-based data structure. The technique is suitable for inclusion in any system that accepts gesture-based data, such as a personal digital assistant (PDA) or other pen-based computing device.
