A feature extracting unit extracts an input feature vector from an input character pattern. A learning unit computes orthonormal bases of a partial eigenspace of an original feature space from learning feature vectors of a plurality of learning character patterns, and stores the computation results in an orthonormal base storage unit for the partial eigenspace. The learning unit computes each of the dictionary selection feature vectors prescribed in the partial eigenspace corresponding to each of the object character patterns, and stores the computation results in a recognition dictionary unit. A feature selection unit computes an input selection feature vector obtained by projecting an input selection feature vector extracted by the feature extracting unit on the partial eigenspace using the above described orthonormal bases. A collating unit estimates a type of the input character pattern by collating the above described input selection feature vector with each of the dictionary selection feature vectors.

An apparatus recognizes road traffic lines and a car running ahead without regard to obstacles and noise signals. A video image recording unit on a car provides an image of the road ahead. Horizontal edges in the image are detected for determining the presence of a car ahead. Successive lateral sweeps in both directions from a center line that advance at predetermined sampling intervals from a proximal portion of the image toward a distal portion of the image provide data by which horizontal edges are determined for comparison against predetermined standards. A base line on the road for the car ahead is determined as the most proximal horizontal edge. Lines marking road lanes are detected by similar two directional search lines from a center line. Lane lines are identified in right and left proximal portions of the image and extrapolated to the distal portion of the image. Missing portions of lines are interpolated. In determining the presence of marked road lanes, vertical edge detection provides basic data for establishing the thickness and distance between probable lines for comparison against predetermined standards. Comparison of successive road images determines relative motion between the vehicle bearing the apparatus and detected images and aids in updating the image and eliminating noise signals.

Cleaning apparatus for an electronic game console and associated game cartridges, wherein the game console is of the type having a first edge connector adapted to engage a mating second edge connector provided in the game cartridge. The cleaning apparatus includes a cleaning cartridge having a housing portion at one end and a handle portion at the other end, the housing portion having first and second separable portions, and having a recessed forward end. A first cleaning element is mounted within the recessed forward end, the cleaning element being sized and shaped to correspond substantially to the first edge connector, so that the cleaning pad engages the second edge connector upon insertion into the game console port. A second cleaning element is carried within the housing portion of the cartridge, the second cleaning element including an elongated member having a washing pad on one end thereof and a drying pad on the other end thereof, for cleaning the edge connector of the game cartridge.

An engine cooling device comprises an oil jacket surrounding a cylinder portion of an engine, an oil gallery supplying high-pressure oil to various parts of the engine, and an oil pressure regulator disposed between the oil jacket and the oil gallery to reduce the pressure of the high-pressure oil supplied from the oil gallery and to supply the oil at a reduced pressure to the oil jacket. Thus, the required mechanical strength of the oil jacket can be decreased to decrease the weight of the engine cylinder block.

A cartridge, which is an attachment device, is mountable into an insertion slot 8 in a game apparatus. At a side surface inside the insertion slot 8, provided is a slide member 41 movable from a near side to a far side of the insertion slot 8. The attachment device includes a housing 11 and a hook 14. When the attachment device is inserted into the insertion slot 8, a predetermined portion of the housing 11 abuts against the slide member 41, and the slide member 41 is caused to move toward the far side of the insertion slot 8 when the predetermined portion is inserted further inside while abutting against the slide member 41. The hook 14 is protrusible from a side surface of the housing 11, and is inserted into a recessed portion (an air gap A1) generated at the side surface inside the insertion slot 8 when the slide member 41 moves toward the far side of the insertion slot 8, and then latches onto the inside wall.

A holographic read only memory card which can be coupled to and read by a card reader to which electronic read only memory cards can also be coupled to and read by the card reader is disclosed. The holographic read only memory card comprises: a housing having a compartment for receiving a holographic storage medium; a holographic storage medium having stored thereon holographic data; and optionally a an electronics panel member having an electronic memory component which can be read by the card reader when the holographic read only memory card is coupled to the electronic card reader. The housing comprises one or more card locating members to thereby repeatedly position the holographic read only memory card each time the holographic read only memory card is coupled to the electronic card reader so that the holographic data can be read.

A perpendicular magnetic recording head capable of effectively inducing a recording magnetic field to a main magnetic pole front end portion and suppressing an occurrence of side fringing is provided. An auxiliary magnetic pole layer, which is a first magnetic portion, and a main magnetic pole layer, which is a second magnetic portion, disposed leaving a space to the above-described auxiliary magnetic pole layer are included, and a coil layer which applies a recording magnetic field to the above-described space between the auxiliary magnetic pole layer and the main magnetic pole layer is included. A yoke layer is disposed in contact with the above-described main magnetic pole layer, and the width dimension of the yoke layer is increased stepwise or continuously toward the rear in the height direction and the width dimension is increased stepwise or continuously from an upper surface toward a lower surface.
