  • Patent number: 9098777
    Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for evaluating digital images of handwritten documents comprising handwritten symbols are disclosed. A set of symbols from the digital image is determined by applying a first predefined technique. If the set of symbols determined by applying the first predefined technique does not match with a predefined set of symbols, a second predefined technique is applied to determine the set of symbols from the digital image. Thereafter, an evaluation report is created based on the determining by applying the first predefined technique or the determining by applying the second predefined technique.

  • Publication number: 20140093858
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiment relates to methods and systems for evaluating an electronic document. The computer implemented method includes receiving the electronic document containing a first set of answers corresponding to one or more pre-stored questions. The first set of answers are compared with a pre-stored second set of answers based on an answer descriptor syntax dataset. The answer descriptor syntax dataset comprises one or more rules. One or more answer descriptors for each of the first set of answers are determined based on the comparing. The one or more answer descriptors correspond to one or more observations for each of the first set of answers. Finally, the electronic document is evaluated based on determining.

  • Publication number: 20080278527
    Abstract: There is provided a printhead for an ink jet printer, including a primary and a secondary array of nozzles in the printhead, the nozzles in the primary array of nozzles being in alignment with the nozzles in the secondary array of nozzles in a printing process direction; detection system for detecting defective nozzles in both the primary array of nozzles and in the secondary array of nozzles; a first mode operation having means for selectively activating nozzles in the secondary array of nozzles that are in alignment with defective nozzles in the primary array of nozzles; and a second mode of operation having means, responsive to the detecting means, for translating the secondary array of nozzles in relation to the primary array of nozzles along a path to a first position to realigned the nozzles in the primary array of nozzles to nozzles in the secondary array of nozzles if defective nozzles are aligned in both the primary and the secondary array of nozzles.
