Abstract: A method and apparatus for processing documents is provided. The documents may be conveyed to a feeder for feeding documents to a scanner. The scanner scans each document to obtain image data and then discharges the document to one or more output or sort locations. The system may include a skew reduction assembly for reducing skew in the documents as the documents are fed to the scanner. The system may also include elements for improving image quality and reducing document damage while the document is scanned. The system may further include features for improving the stacking of the discharged documents.

Abstract: A system is provided for processing documents. In particular, the system incorporates a feeder for feeding documents to a device for further processing of the documents. For instance, the system finds particular application in the field of document imaging in which a variety of documents of varying sizes and orientation are to be fed to an imaging system, such as a document scanner. The system may provide a sorting station that receives documents from a workstation and sorts the documents to a plurality of sort locations. The system may export the image data for the documents to a fileserver so that a remote operator can provide instructions for the processing of the documents so that the documents can be subsequently processed according to the instructions provided by the operator.

Abstract: A pizza cutter is provided. The pizza cutter includes a first member that has a first handle. A rotary knife is pivotally attached to the first member such that the first member extends beyond the radius of the rotary knife. A second member, that also has a handle, is affixed to the first member such that the second member also extends beyond the radius of the rotary knife. The second member also extends in a direction relative to the first member such that an obtuse angle is formed between the first member and the second member.

Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement for communication with a subscriber. The arrangement includes a spectral analysis unit for producing short-time spectral values (Y(i)) of received signals (E) which signals are at times subscriber's speech signals superimposed by echoes of transmission signals (S) transmitted to the subscriber, a echo cancelling unit for estimating short-time spectral values of the echoes (X.sub.w (i)) and for producing difference values (D(i)) between the short-time spectral values (Y(i)) of the received signals (E) and the estimated short-time spectral values (X.sub.w (i)) of the echoes, and speech recognition unit for evaluating the difference values (D(i)).
