Abstract: A classification system automatically generates an indication that a training feature vector case is a pollutant based on a mis-labelled reference image. It excludes the case from the set, builds a k-nearest neighbour confidence classifier, and then classifies the case using this classifier. The case may be marked as suspect if its classification does not match what is determined, or if they do match, if the confidence level is below a threshold. The system can automatically remove or re-label all suspect cases.

Abstract translation: 分类系统基于错误标记的参考图像自动生成训练特征向量情况是污染物的指示。 它从集合中排除案例，构建k最近邻信任分类器，然后使用此分类器对案例进行分类。 如果其分类与置信水平低于阈值，则其分类与所确定的分类不匹配，或者如果它们匹配，则该情况可被标记为可疑。 系统可以自动删除或重新标记所有可疑案件。

Abstract: A machine vision system (1) has two laser sources (2, 3) to illuminate a solder deposit from both sides for comprehensive coverage without occlusion. The camera (4) has an FGPA (32) programmed to define a subset of the sensor array (20) as a region of interest to be processed for each laser source (2, 3). This reduces the amount of data transfer and processing required. The image line (31) is dynamically maintained in the region of interest by adjustement of camara Z position according to warp of the substrate (S).

Abstract translation: 机器视觉系统（1）具有两个激光源（2,3），用于照亮来自两侧的焊料沉积物以进行全面覆盖而不堵塞。 相机（4）具有被编程为将传感器阵列（20）的子集定义为要为每个激光源（2,3）处理的感兴趣区域的FGPA（32）。 这减少了所需的数据传输和处理量。 通过根据基板（S）的翘曲调节卡马拉Z位置，将图像线（31）动态地保持在感兴趣的区域中。

Abstract: A solder paste inspection machine carries out the steps of automatically generating inspection data for solder paste deposits, automatically determining a squeegee direction of travel for said paste deposits. It associates the squeegee direction with the inspection data, and feeds the inspection data back to a solder paste printer with an indication of squeegee direction. The direction is determined from three-dimensional range maps, the direction of squeegee travel being in the direction of upward slope.

Abstract: Images are captured of linear illumination with improved identification of lines and elimination of noise. A most probable line of multiple lines is identified as the one which is widest, and two parallel lines in proximity are regarded as one if their separation is two or one dark pixels. There is an upper line width limit, to eliminate blooming.

Abstract translation: 通过改进线路识别和消除噪声，捕获图像线性照明。 多行最可能的行被标识为最宽的一行，如果它们的分隔是两个或一个暗像素，则两个接近的平行线被视为一个。 有一个上限线宽度，以消除开花。

Abstract: Electronic circuits such as IC packages, circuit boards, of flex circuits are singulated by laser cutting of adjoining laminated material. The laser beam has a wavelength of less than 400 nm, and either a minimum energy density of 100 J/cm2 or a minimum power density of 1GW/cm2. The method avoids the need for cleaning and intermediate handling, and there is a greatly improved throughput.

Abstract: A humane whip for use in horse racing comprises an elongate self-supporting spine of glass fibre, carbon fibre or the like, surrounded by an outer flexible sleeve of rubber or soft plastics material. Shock-absorbing members are disposed between the inner spine and the surrounding sleeve, and may comprise internal ribs on the sleeve and the air trapped between the spine and sleeve. The soft flexible sleeve has a reinforcing layer which inhibits stretching of the sleeve at least in the longitudinal direction. The tips of both the inner spine and the outer sleeve are each formed with an enlarged bulb.
