Patent number: 5573442Abstract: An apparatus for measuring the width of a cutting blade in a linear motor is activated when the cutting blade is raised. A working pin is advanced and one end of a detecting pin is abutted against an edge of the cutting blade. Thereafter, the working pin is returned. The blade width is derived by deducting the number of inputted driving pulses in returning from the advanced position of the detecting pin. The cutting blade is polished each polishing cycle for predetermined times by polishing rollers. The width of the cutting blade is measured by blade width detecting means during each predetermined polishing cycle. The measurement value of the blade width is fed back into a control device so that the subsequent polishing time of the cutting blade with the polishing rollers is adjusted until it becomes appropriate. The expiration of the useful life of the polishing rollers is determined when a long polishing time is required.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 1994Date of Patent: November 12, 1996Assignee: Shima Seiki Manufacturing LimitedInventors: Toshiaki Morita, Toshiro Ochi

Patent number: 5369966Abstract: In order to process yarn preliminarily, and to change over yarn precisely at a desired knitting position, the yarn fed to a flat knitting machine is processed by a yarn processing device. To change over the yarn at a changeover position of knitted fabric, it is necessary to actuate the yarn processing device preliminarily at an actuating position C. A controller calculates the actuating position from a set value in a setting circuit and pattern information from a memory. When an encoder detects that a position of feeding the yarn to a knitting needle has reached the actuating position, the yarn processing device is actuated. The length of the yarn from a yarn processing position to the actuating position is nearly equal to the sum of a knitting loop length from the actuating position to the changeover position.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 1993Date of Patent: December 6, 1994Assignee: Shima Seiki Manufacturing LimitedInventors: Toshiaki Morita, Hirokazu Nishitani

Patent number: 5369715Abstract: A histogram is prepared using the heights of characters in an input alphanumeric character image data set. Based on this histogram, reference line characters are detected from the character row. The upper and lower extracting ordinates of each character in the character row are obtained. Then, the average of each of the upper and lower extracting ordinates in the character row is determined as the ordinate of a reference line for the character row. Thus obtained reference line is used for character recognition.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 1991Date of Patent: November 29, 1994Assignee: Sharp Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Hideaki Tanaka, Toshiaki Morita, Yoshihiro Kitamura

Patent number: 5093868Abstract: A method for determining lines of character images in a recognition area for use in an optical character reader. In the line determining method, the character images in the recognition area are read by an image scanner so as to obtain image data of the character images in the recognition area. A circumscribed rectangular frame for enclosing each character is then determined based on the obtained image data so as to obtain coordinates of the circumscribed rectangular frame. Thereafter, circumscribed rectangular frames adjacent in a direction of the lines to each circumscribed rectangular frame are determined so as to obtain a connection relationship between the circumscribed rectangular frames as seen from each circumscribed rectangular frame, and then, the lines are determined based on the obtained connection relationship between the circumscribed rectangular frames.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 1990Date of Patent: March 3, 1992Assignee: Sharp Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Hideaki Tanaka, Toshiaki Morita, Yoshihiro Kitamura, Yasuhisa Nakamura

Patent number: 5062047Abstract: A translation apparatus includes a translating device connected to an optical character reader for input. The optical character reader includes a reference dictionary stored in a first memory which stores a plurality of reference character strings of morphemes in a first language, each morpheme being identified by a unique address. A morpheme analysis device in the optical character reader matches an optically read character string with one of the morpheme stored in the first memory. A communication device transfers the results of the morpheme analysis, including morphemes and their associated addresses, to the translating device. At the translating device, the results from the morpheme analysis are used to translate the optically read character string to a second language by accessing a second memory. The second memory is addressed identically to that of the first memory.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 1989Date of Patent: October 29, 1991Assignee: Sharp Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Hideaki Tanaka, Toshiaki Morita, Yoshihiro Kitamura, Yasuhisa Nakamura
