  • Publication number: 20230315974
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and products for auto tagging structured PDF documents that do not have accessibility tags. In one embodiment, structured PDF documents having accessibility tags are first parsed and analyzed to organize the visual components of the documents. The relationships of the identified objects to DOM elements (e.g., tags) are determined, and the objects and related DOM elements are stored in training files. The training files are used to train various classifiers. Untagged PDF documents are then parsed to identify included visual objects, and the classifiers are used to determine DOM elements that should be associated with visual objects identified in the untagged PDF documents. This information is used to construct a DOM structure corresponding to each untagged document. A new PDF is then generated corresponding to each untagged document using the generated DOM structure and visual object information.

  • Publication number: 20070083306
    Abstract: In a method and apparatus for testing vehicle emissions and engine control components using a self-service on-board diagnostics (OBD) kiosk, a stand-alone kiosk includes a computing device capable of gathering VIN information and OBD information from a vehicle using a VIN reader and OBD reader. The kiosk generates a readable display or printed report for the kiosk operator indicating any detected diagnostic trouble codes found during the OBD test. By networking a plurality of kiosks together in a secure network and accessible to the Internet, an OBD kiosk network maintains a centrally located vehicle interface database for storing and retrieving pertinent vehicle-related information during OBD testing.
