  • Patent number: 8351412
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for blind transport format detection using Discontinuous Transmission (DTX) detection. According to one aspect of the invention, the transport format that was used to transmit information is determined by identifying a transition between a Discontinuous Transmission segment and a data segment included in the transmitted information; and determining the transport format based on a location of the transition of the Discontinuous Transmission segment. A cyclic redundancy check can optionally be performed for a plurality of possible transport formats, and then the step of identifying a transition can be limited to those transport formats having a valid cyclic redundancy check.

  • Patent number: 8170165
    Abstract: In one embodiment, an improvement is described for synchronization between devices in, e.g., a wireless network, wherein at least one device includes both a slow clock and a fast clock for different modes of operation. The fast clock for an active mode of operation is calibrated after a sleep mode of operation during which the slow clock is employed for device timing. Calibration employs a filter-based technique. Counts for the slow clock and for the fast clock are measured over a first interval, and the number of slow-clock counts is measured over a second interval. An estimate for the number of fast counts over the second interval is generated, filtered to reduce noise and error effects, and then employed to update the fast clock in the active mode of operation.

  • Patent number: 6512849
    Abstract: A method for finding a predefined object in an image includes selecting a line belonging to the object, the line having a known stroke width and defining a maximum width and a minimum width that together define a range of widths therebetween that contains the stroke width. A feature in the image is found having a feature width within the range, and the feature is processed to determine whether it is a part of the object.

  • Patent number: 5813771
    Abstract: A method is described for calibrating a printer and/or a scanner so that information can be printed at a desired location with respect to a sheet, the method comprising: storing a first set of markings as a first image in digital form; printing, using a printer to be calibrated, the first image on a sheet to form a printed sheet; scanning the printed sheet to generate a second image stored in digital form; comparing the first image and the second image, or an image derived from the second image, to determine a first transformation which maps the first set of markings in the second image, or the image derived from the second image, onto the first set of markings on the first image; storing parameters of the first transformation for subsequent use by applying the first transformation to information to be printed at the desired location. Using this method the bias transformations associated with a printer and/or a scanner can be accurately measured and stored for future use in printing.

  • Patent number: 5787194
    Abstract: Image processing apparatus for segmenting an input image into image portions each containing a single character, the apparatus comprising identification logic for identifying connected components in the input image; classification logic, including a neural network, for determining into which of a number of predefined classes a connected component falls, at least one of said classes indicating that the connected component is most likely to be a single character; merging logic and splitting logic for merging and splitting the connected components. The merging and splitting logic and the classification logic are arranged to operate so that the connected components are iteratively merged and/or split and the resulting split and/or merged connected components reclassified by the classification logic until an image segmentation is achieved which meets a predefined criterion.
