Abstract: A computer-implemented method for optical character recognition and corresponding data processing apparatus, computer program and computer-readable medium. The method includes the following: receiving image data of an input image having one or more characters and applying one or more data processing operations to the received image data, wherein at least one of the data processing operations is configured to return the one or more characters of the input image, wherein each data processing operation is selected from a predefined set of available data processing functions according to a processing configuration, wherein the available data processing functions are precompiled functions, and wherein the processing configuration can be changed at runtime.

Abstract: To connect a high-pressure line to a cylindrical accumulator tank, a fastener is fastened to one end of the high-pressure line, a connector has a first inside wall surface which defines a first hole for accommodating and fastening a portion of the cylindrical accumulator tank, a joining device effects a connection between the fastener and the connector, at the connection a contact surface of the high-pressure line is brought to engage with a contact surface of the accumulator tank. The first inside wall surface has in an axial direction relative to the cylindrical accumulator tank and a curved shape such that relative pivoting movements between the connector and the accumulator tank are enabled when the connection is effected and the contact surfaces are brought towards one another.

Abstract: A pattern of horizontal and vertical perforation lines are cut into a sheet to define a pair of combination mailers with a disposable sheet margin around them and a sheet margin between them. Other formats aside from this “two-up” format can be used if desired. Each of the mailers includes a postcard connected to and adjacent either a business card or a rotary card. The user then designs on his computer the desired indicia to be printed on the postcard and the business card or rotary card of each of the mailers on the sheet. The sheet is then passed through a printer and the selected indicia printed on the mailers. The sheet can have a calendered infeed end to improve printer pickup and feed. The printed mailers are then separated from the sheet along the perforation lines, stamped and mailed to the intended recipients. The recipients then separate the custom printed business or rotary card from the postcard and retain the separated card for future reference.

Abstract: A cylinder head for an international combustion engine comprises at least two separate intake ports with each incorporate one intake valve and at least one exhaust port, which in turn incorporates one exhaust valve, where the intake ports and the exhaust port have their openings on opposite lateral faces of the cylinder head. The cylinder head also comprises a centrally arranged fuel injector which is driven by a top rocker arm, a push rod passing through the cylinder head, and a bottom camshaft. The cylinder head is also designed with a common vertical shaft or through hole which incorporates push rods for transferring the drive from the camshaft to the valves and to the fuel injector. The shaft is arranged between the two intake ports.

Abstract: A respective fuel injector is provided for each cylinder in a multiple cylinder internal combustion engine. Each fuel injector is located in a respective cylinder head. There are a plurality of fuel passages for each cylinder head. Each fuel passage into the cylinder head is in two sections. One section extends from the space for receiving the fuel injector diagonally with respect to the longitudinal direction of the engine and opens on the transverse surface of the cylinder head and is sealed there. Another passage section extends at an angle to the first passage section and then intersects the lateral side surface of the cylinder head. The two passage sections each comprise a bore in the cylinder head. A wall inside the cylinder head extends between and separates two spaces for receiving inlet valves to the injector and two spaces for receiving exhaust valves from the injector. That wall extends on one side along an air intake port into the cylinder head.

Abstract: A respective fuel injector for each cylinder in a multiple cylinder internal combustion engine. The fuel injectors being supplied with fuel via passages in the cylinder heads of the engine. The passages all open on one side of the engine. On the one side of the engine there is a longitudinal fuel molding with longitudinal channels passing through the molding and ports from each channel communicating with the respective passages in the cylinder heads. The molding is secured to the cylinder heads of the engine. The fuel molding allows simple pipe laying and a protected position for the pipes, and it also reduces the risk of leakage.

Abstract: An internal combustion engine assembly of the compound type for vehicles comprises an internal combustion engine, a turbine and a transmission arranged between the turbine and a crankshaft forming part of the engine. The turbine is designed to be driven by exhaust gases from the engine. On the rear end of the crankshaft a gear wheel is mounted. On this gear wheel there is formed a flange which functions as an extension of the crankshaft and attachment for a flywheel. With the present invention, it is possible to transmit the power from the turbine to the crankshaft without modifying the ring gear of the flywheel. The invention also affords advantages in terms of manufacturing, assembly and maintenance technology.
