摘要:
Feature vectors used in discrimination of images include information on feature blocks of images in an image-document retrieving apparatus of the present invention. Text areas of a page image document are combined to form rectangular images. On the basis of information on the rectangular images that are extracted, a geometric structure of the page is analyzed, the page image document is divided into plural blocks, and then a plurality of feature blocks describing features of the page document image are selected from the plural blocks. The feature vectors are constituted of information on the feature blocks thus selected. This makes it possible to provide an image-document retrieving apparatus and a method of retrieving image documents, by which retrieval of image documents containing mainly text and a graphic is improvable in accuracy.

Methods, apparatuses and systems provide a high dynamic range mode of operation for an image sensor when operating in a skip mode where certain pixels of an array are not readout. Multiple integration periods are employed in the skip mode with selected pixels being readout through circuits associated with pixels that are not readout.

An information processing device includes: a feature extracting section for extracting, as format information, a format feature of a process-target document from image data of the process-target document, on which filling-in spaces of plural items are printed; a document recognizing section for comparing the format information of the process-target document with registered format information stored in a storage device, and specifying a registered document that corresponds to the process-target document, the registered format information regarding format features of registered documents; a data acquiring section for converting characters in the image data of the process-target document into text data; and a distributing section for grouping the image data and text data of the characters into plural groups according to a separation rule that is set for the registered document, the characters being written in the fill-in spaces of the items of the process-target document, and for transmitting the different groups to different external devices. With this, information such as personal information to be protected can be processed, preventing an operator dealing with the information from obtaining the whole information.

Apparatus, systems and methods are described to assist in reducing dark current in an active pixel sensor. A potential barrier arrangement is configured to block the flow of charge carriers generated outside a photosensitive region. In various embodiments, a potential well-potential barrier arrangement is formed to direct charge carriers away from the photosensitive region during an integration time.

A payment system may intelligently monitor text conversations on other applications or a user's email system. Users and participating merchants may enroll credit cards or other payment devices, bank accounts, etc., with the payment system. Once enrolled, a daemon/plugin of the payment system may monitor text applications, emails, or other communication means of the mobile computing device. Using Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning algorithms, the payment system may determine payment information from a text or other communication, and initiate and/or complete a payment transaction between the communicating parties. Upon confirmation, the payment system may complete the funds transfer or payment to registered users or merchants in the text communication. The payment system may also integrate with a merchant's loyalty and reward programs and use these loyalty/reward points as forms of payment.
摘要:
Functionality can be implemented for optimizing connection constraints in an integrated circuit design. A target timing path associated with a first of a plurality of sub-connections of the integrated circuit is determined. A timing probability value and a route probability value associated with the first of the plurality of sub-connections is determined based, at least in part, on the target timing path associated with the first of the plurality of sub-connections. The timing probability value indicates a probability that timing closure is satisfied on the target timing path. The route probability value indicates a probability that a physical routing track on the target timing path associated with the first of the plurality of sub-connections resolves congestion. A current connection constraint associated with the first of the plurality of sub-connections is modified in accordance with a connection constraint model to which the first of the plurality of sub-connections corresponds.

A generator includes a substrate, a first electrode layer, a dense plurality of vertically-aligned piezoelectric elongated nanostructures, an insulating layer and a second electrode layer. The substrate has a top surface and the first electrode layer is disposed on the top surface of the substrate. The dense plurality of vertically-aligned piezoelectric elongated nanostructures extends from the first electrode layer. Each of the nanostructures has a top end. The insulating layer is disposed on the top ends of the nanostructures. The second electrode layer is disposed on the non-conductive layer and is spaced apart from the nanostructures.
摘要:
A keypad assembly is described herein in which the keypad assembly includes a substrate and a plurality of domes positioned on the substrate and configured to translate operator action into a corresponding input for a machine. The keypad assembly also includes a dome overlay positioned over the domes and the substrate in which the dome overlay can create a sealed environment for the substrate and the domes. A light guide that directs light in the keypad assembly and an interlocking component coupled to the light guide can also be part of the keypad assembly. In one arrangement, the interlocking component can selectively compress the dome overlay to assist in the creation of the sealed environment. In another arrangement, the interlocking component can compress the dome overlay by bending the dome overlay at an edge of the substrate.
