Abstract: Symbol recognition techniques may be applied to documents comprising various forms of content. Documents including both text and mathematical expressions may be problematic, as applying a recognizer that does not match the content may produce anomalous results. Instead, a parser may evaluate the document to classify respective regions as one of a text region or a mathematics region, based on the characteristics of each type of content. The recognizer corresponding to the content of each region may be applied to produce a composite document comprising both recognized text expressions and recognized mathematical expressions. Additional functionality may be presented based on the recognized content; e.g.

Abstract: A shoe making method includes adhesion of an outsole and a midsole, and adhesion of a sole and a vamp. When the outsole and the midsole are attached, an upper adhesion surface of the outsole is processed by coating absorbent and by spraying powder adhesive, while a lower adhesion surface of the midsole is processed by spraying two-in-one primer, to achieve a one-side cementing. When the sole and the vamp are attached, an upper surface of the sole is processed by coating absorbent and by spraying powder adhesive, while a lower adhesion surface of the vamp is processed by spraying two-in-one primer, to achieve a one-side cementing. The powder adhesive is uncharged powder adhesive which is directly sprayed by a machine, without needing static attachment. The two-in-one primer is made of reinforcer and glue.

Abstract: A detachable ball inflation and deflation device is disposed in a cavity of a ball. The device includes an air inflation unit, a non-return unit, and a reinforcement sleeve. By applying a force to press the air inflation unit repeatedly, the air outside the ball passes the non-return unit to enter the inside of the ball so as to inflate the ball, and the air filled into the ball won't deflate. The device has the function to deflate the ball in a quick way. When the air inflation unit is pulled out of a portion of the ball, the air inside the ball can be deflated quickly, so that the ball can be carried and stored conveniently.

Abstract: Provided is a simplified input device, having a display module connected with a processing module. When the processing module receives a confirming command produced by an input module, the processing module loads a selected symbol. When the selected symbol is a typographical symbol, the processing module displays the selected symbol on a position of an input cursor. When the selected symbol is an input cursor moving symbol, the processing module moves the position of the input cursor corresponding to the selected symbol. Therefore, a user types letters, and moves the input cursor to a position of a wrong letter to input another letter for quickly correcting the wrong letter. Further, a connecting module receives typographical symbol setting data to update the language of the typographical symbols. The language is not limited by a manufacturer of the simplified input device and enhanced convenience in use is provided.

Abstract: A vision based tracking system in a mobile platform tracks objects using groups of detected lines. The tracking system detects lines in a captured image of the object to be tracked. Groups of lines are formed from the detected lines. The groups of lines may be formed by computing intersection points of the detected lines and using intersection points to identified connected lines, where the groups of lines are formed using connected lines. A graph of the detected lines may be constructed and intersection points identified. Interesting subgraphs are generated using the connections and the group of lines is formed with the interesting subgraphs. Once the groups of lines are formed, the groups of lines are used to track the object, e.g., by comparing the groups of lines in a current image of the object to groups of lines in a previous image of the object.
