Abstract: Computer-implemented systems and methods are provided for determining an overall mood score of a document. For example, the document is received from a computer-readable medium. A text segment in a document is identified to be indicative of a mood of the document. The text segment is mapped to a mood scale among a predetermined set of mood scales. A mood weight associated with the mood scale for the text segment is generated. An overall mood score of the document is determined based at least in part on the mood weight.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus facilitate scanning an Add-On code portion of a bar code label to determine the bar code data printed thereon by sweeping a scanning beam in a scan path across the Add-On code portion of the label. The bar code label includes bar codes of the type which have a primary code portion and which may also have an Add-On code portion.

Abstract: The scanner and scanning method of the present invention effect bar code scanning to determine the bar code data printed thereon by repeatedly sweeping a scanning beam in scan paths across the labels. The bar code labels bear bar codes of the type which include a primary code portion and which may also include an Add-On code portion. The method of the present invention includes the steps of sweeping a scanning beam across the label until the beam sweeps the entire primary code portion in a first scanning pass along a first scan path; immediately sweeping the scanning beam across the label in additional scanning passes along additional scan paths adjacent and parallel to the first scan path; and, if the beam sweeps the entire primary code portion in the additional scanning passes, and, if an Add-On code portion is not scanned in part during either the first or additional scanning passes, then the data scanned during the first and additional scanning passes is accepted as valid scan data.

Abstract: A scanning method and scanning system according to the present invention determines the bar code data printed on a pair of concatenated, two-segment bar code labels, which labels have been scanned by repeatedly sweeping a beam in a succession of scanning passes to determine the left segment data and the right segment data of each of the pair of labels. The labels are of the type in which the left segment data and the right segment data are combinable to form a valid checksum. During scanning, it is noted if a left segment and a right segment were scanned during a single scanning pass across either or both of the pair of labels. Left segment data from a first left segment is combined with right segment data from a first right segment. If a valid first checksum results, the same left data is combined with right segment data from a second right segment. If a valid second checksum results, then left segment data from the second left segment is combined with right segment data from the first right segment.

Abstract: A method of decoding a binary scan signal consisting of a bit sequence produced by an electro-optical scanning device as the device scans bar code symbols on a label is disclosed. The bits in the sequence correspond to light and dark spaces making up the bar code symbols. The method includes the steps of: a. supplying the binary scan signal to a storage buffer such that the buffer contains a plurality of bits most recently produced by the scanning device, b. selecting a portion of the bit sequence which defines a large light space, c. subjecting the bits in the sequence following those defining the large light space to a series of tests to determine whether such bits were produced by scanning a bar code symbol which is valid in one or more of several bar codes, d. decoding the bar code symbol in the codes in which it is valid, e.
