Abstract: In an inserting machine for collating inserts and placing a collation of said inserts into an envelope, a method is disclosed of determining the amount of postage to be applied to said envelope into which said collation of inserts have been inserted. The inserting machine includes a feed deck and a plurality of feed station adapted to selectively feed said inserts onto said feed deck. The method includes (A) feeding along said feed deck a control document having code thereon, (B) reading said code on said control document, (C) storing in data processing memory means a set of predetermined threshold values of a measurable cumulative attribute of said inserts, said threshold values corresponding to the amounts of postage for different postage categories, (D) repeatedly calculating a current attribute value difference (CAVD) between a first threshold value and the attribute values of the inserts being fed onto said feed deck pursuant to said code or other means governing the feeding of inserts onto said feed deck as long as the CAVD remains non-negative until the last desired insert is fed onto said feed deck, and (E) if the CAVD becomes negative, superseding said negative CAVD with a replacement CAVD which is equal to the next higher threshold value less the absolute value of said negative CAVD and repeating step (D), whereby the last desired insert is fed onto said feed deck without exceeding the amount of postage for one of said different postage categories, said amount of postage being the postage required for said envelope and said collation.

Abstract: A completely automated method for classifying electronic images of commercial documents such as invoices, bills of lading, explanations of benefits, etc. is based on the layout of the documents. A document is classified as belonging to a class of similarly laid out images if its distance, determined by a set of pre-defined metrics, to any of the template layouts from the same class of template layouts does not exceed a certain user-defined threshold. Alternatively, if the sum of distances from a given image to several template layouts from the same class does not exceed a user-selected threshold, the image is deemed to belong to a class of images with a specific layout.

Abstract: A hand-held mobile communication device, such as smart telephone, incorporating sensors and signal conditioning modules for measuring signals from external sources of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) in the low, radio, ultraviolet, and infrared spectral ranges. These include the detector for receiving and monitoring electromagnetic fields originating from various external sources of radiation that pose potential health hazards or may interfere with various electronic devices. The mobile phone equipped with such sensors could alternate between communication and monitoring functions. Other integrated EMR sensors are a photodiode for the ultraviolet detection to monitor the user's sun exposure and a thermopile for non-contact measurement of temperature of humans or inanimate objects. This infrared sensor in combination with a photographic digital camera and a pattern recognition signal processing allows measuring temperatures at specific locations and from optimal distances to the surface of the object to enhance accuracy of non-contact temperature measurements.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for hierarchical character recognition processing of ambiguous and noisy characters which produces highly reliable results at high levels of hierarchical processing. The invention first applies a universal classifier system (which may comprise one or more universal classifiers) to input image data, and identifies "suspicious" characters. The image data for suspicious characters is then applied to a "specialist" classifier that is designed to handle only a narrow and well-defined set of recognition cases. This hierarchical processing architecture and method results in increased accuracy of recognition. The method is particularly applicable to handwritten characters and to distorted and noisy machine-printed characters.
