Abstract: A modular mounting system which allows a circuit board to be removed, inserted or replaced through the front of the mounting frame without deactivating power to the equipment, and in the preferred embodiment without detaching any external cables. Connections for external equipment are disposed along the rear edge of the circuit board, and a row of contacts for the internal connections is provided along the bottom edge of the circuit board. The system of the invention provides a releasable connector which retracts the connector pins into a housing when a circuit board is inserted or removed, thus eliminating the possibility of a contact on the circuit board touching a live connector pin. In the preferred embodiment the external connections are made through adaptors that plug into external cable connectors provided on a connector plate detachably affixed to the rear of the mounting frame.

Abstract: This specification discloses a process and system for processing a digitally stored image on a digital computer. The system scans and digitizes an image, separate text from non-text components, enhances and deskews the image, compresses the resulting image file, and stores the enhanced, deskewed, and compressed file for later transmission, optical character recognition, or high quality printing or viewing of the image.
