  • Patent number: 8353992
    Abstract: Steel sheet having a composition of ingredients containing substantially, by mass %, C: 0.005 to 0.200%, Si: 2.50% or less, Mn: 0.10 to 3.00%, N: 0.0100% or less, Nb: 0.005 to 0.100%, and Ti: 0.002 to 0.150% and satisfying the relationship of Ti?48/14×N?0.0005, having a sum of the X-ray random intensity ratios of the {100}<001> orientation and the {110}<001> orientation of a ? sheet thickness part of 5 or less, having a sum of the maximum value of the X-ray random intensity ratios of the {110}<111> to {110}<112> orientation group and the X-ray random intensity ratios of the {211}<111> orientation of 5 or more, and having a high rolling direction Young's modulus measured by the static tension method and a method of production of the same are provided.

  • Patent number: 6993194
    Abstract: A method and apparatus used to detect errors in image reading simply and quickly. Information derived from image data (such as the amount of data and a compression ratio) after compression is compared with reference values previously determined in connection with errors in image reading, and the existence of errors in image reading is determined. When the data size is used, it is judged that there is an error in image reading when the data size after compression is smaller than the reference value previously determined. When the compression ratio of the image data is used, it is judged that there is an error of image reading in the case where the compression ratio is larger than the reference value previously determined.

  • Patent number: 5394484
    Abstract: Character recognition apparatus capable of automatically modifying its recognition tree is disclosed. When a character is erroneously recognized, its image is used to select a leaf node of the character recognition tree which has a high probability of recognizing the character correctly. The tree is split at that node, creating one new leaf node which is assigned to the character formerly assigned to the split node, and a second new leaf node assigned to the erroneously recognized character. The split node is then assigned to test a pel address in a character image which has a high probability of discriminating between the two characters of its new leaf nodes.
