  • Method and system for extracting features from handwritten text
    Patent number: 5757960
    Abstract: A handwriting recognition system achieves a higher recognition rate by using a feature extraction method which computes features based on multiple data frames. A plurality of data frames is generated from handwritten text received by the system. Each data frame includes samples taken from the handwritten text. Individual-frame features are extracted from individual data frames, and in turn, multi-frame features are extracted from individual-frame features which correspond to different data frames.
    Type: Grant

  • Processor system and method for appliances
    Patent number: 5710712
    Abstract: A processor system provides electrical power and processing to a plurality of appliances. A data bus receives a control input signal from each of the plurality of appliances and transfers electrical power and output command signals to each of the plurality of appliances. A processor, coupled to the data bus, generates an output command signal for each of the plurality of appliances in response to the input control signals.

  • Computer processor utilizing logarithmic conversion and method of use thereof
    Patent number: 5696986
    Abstract: A computer processor for performing mathematical operations includes a logarithm converter which generates log values on a data bus, a plurality of processing elements connected to the data bus, an inverse-logarithm converter which receives values from the processing elements, an accumulator which sums converted values from the inverse-logarithm converter, and a control unit for configuring the accumulator to perform various summing operations. The computer processor also includes a switch for providing processor outputs as feedback. An instruction, selected from a set of instructions, is decoded by the control unit to configure the computer processor to perform operations on a data stream.
