An embodiment of an input-buffer circuit may include an input stage with an inverter having an input operable to receive a signal to be translated. The input stage may include a limiting circuit coupled to the input stage for arresting quiescent current. Additional embodiments of an input-buffer circuit formed according to the subject matter disclosed herein may include feedback transistors suited to provide additional current to the input stage and a hysteresis circuit suited to provide hysteresis current to the input stage when an input signal has a high-frequency change rate.

A mechanism for recognizing and inputting handwritten mathematical expressions into a computer by providing part of a multi-path framework is described. The part of the multi-path framework includes a subscript/superscript analysis and character determination component that is designed to identify subscript and superscript elements. A method for analyzing a handwritten mathematical expression includes receiving a symbols corresponding to handwritten mathematical expression input strokes, identifying subscript and/or superscript structures, and determining a character for each symbol of the set. A graph of vertexes and edges may be created based upon the set of symbols and the graph may be searched to determine optimized candidates.

A composition and method for encapsulating colorant molecules in polymeric particles are described. Colorant molecules, such as dye, are doped or embedded in a particle, at least in part, composed of a halogen-containing polymeric matrix that can effectively isolate the dye molecules from reaction with photo-oxidizing or reducing agents. The isolated colorant molecule is protected from photo-bleaching and other color degradation, and show superior photo-stability. The encapsulating polymer matrix can be cross-linked and can have a variety of surface functional groups, which may be adapted to help achieve either strong ionic or covalent binding to desired substrates. Also described are methods for producing protective particles, and ink mediums for applying the particles to substrates.

A pattern recognition system, pattern recognition method, and pattern recognition program capable of increasing the accuracy in computing the false acceptance probability and capable of ensuring a stable security strength are provided. Pattern recognition systems 10 and 10a comprise a first probability computation unit 32, and a second probability computation unit 33 coupled to the first probability computation unit 32. The first probability computation unit 32 computes a first probability PFCR based on the number n of corresponding characteristic points cs1 to csn and cf1 to cfn indicating points corresponding between characteristic points s1 to sns in a first pattern and characteristic points f1 to fnf in a second pattern. The first probability PFCR indicates the probability of existence of a third pattern that has a greater number of corresponding characteristic points to the first pattern than the number n of the corresponding characteristic points. The second probability computation unit 33 refers to the first probability PFCR to compute a false acceptance probability PFAR indicating the probability of falsely determining that the first pattern and the second pattern correspond to each other.

There is provided herein cross-linked, phosphorescent micro- and nano-particles and applications of those particles. The invention uses halogen-containing polymers and co-polymers (HCPs) as an encapsulation matrix for organic and organometallic phosphorescent compounds to form micro- or nano-particles. The phosphorescence of these encapsulated phosphorescent particles is substantially unaffected by phosphorescence quenchers such as oxygen and water molecules at ambient conditions. The invention provides methods of making cross-linked phosphorescent particles. HCPs may be directly cross-linked through linking moieties that are a part of the polymer, or cross-linked through other separate bridging or cross-linking materials Cross-linked particles are more stable than the non-cross-linked counterparts and more resistant to temperature, surfactants, and organic solvents.
