  • Publication number: 20040199875
    Abstract: This invention claims a unique method for storing and hosting analog content (e.g. print book, film, etc.) in a digital library over a network (e.g. Internet). This method dramatically reduces the cost of hosting these analog materials when machine readable text does not yet exist. This method simultaneously provides the important benefits offered by the more expensive traditional digitization methods including full content searchability and high viewable accuracy. The method achieves these goals at a substantially lower cost by eliminating the need for the most expensive phase of digitization, the manual correction of OCR errors. By hosting pixel-based images alongside the OCR-generated text, researchers gain 100% readable accuracy in addition to full content searchability at an affordable price. The value of this method is further enhanced through the use of textual channels that offer accuracy improvements over uncorrected OCR without the expense of manual OCR error correction.

  • Patent number: 6352419
    Abstract: An improved internal gear pump design is provided whereby the head plate includes a groove located vertically above the crescent for providing improved axial feed to the roots or innermost spaces between the idler teeth. The design of the pump also includes a stepped shaft design whereby the radius of the shaft immediately adjacent to the rotor is greater than an adjacent outboard section of the shaft. As a result, a chamber for housing the seal assembly is defined as the space between the stepped shaft portion, the annular seal plate, the outboard section of the shaft that has a lesser or reduced diameter, and the casing. The casing may also include a recess for providing sufficient space for the seal assembly. The larger section of the shaft is accommodated in a bushing mounted to the inside surface of the casing. The inside diameter of the bushing is large enough to accommodate the larger stepped portion of the shaft as well as the outside diameter of the seal assembly.
