Abstract: Disclosed is a method of assembling a connecting device (3) on a stripped end section (6) of an electric cable (4), the method including a first step of crimping a first zone (40) of a tubular portion (13) of the device with a first portion (43) of the section that is configured so that the first portion has a first predetermined degree of compression; a second step of crimping a second zone (41) of the tubular portion with a second portion (44) of the section that is configured so that the second portion has a second predetermined degree of compression lower than the first degree; a step of punching a third zone (42) of the tubular portion with a third portion (56) of the section which is configured so that the third portion has a third predetermined degree of compression higher than the first degree.

Abstract: An automated recognition device for printed music which converts information of the printed music to two-dimensional image data and recognizes notes and signs from this data. Auto-correlation values along a vertical axis are obtained from pixels in a horizontal direction and a first peak is judged to be a line interval of staffs of the printed music. In a second aspect of the invention the number of hooks is determined on the basis of pixel number data existing in the horizontal direction in a region having a predetermined width on both sides of a note. In the third aspect of the invention, image data is removed from a start point by raster scan on the basis of consecutive data. In the fourth aspect of the invention, a shape of a sign in image data is projected on vertical and horizontal axes and the shape of the sign is assumed to exist in rectangular coordinates. The same processing is repeated and the shape of the sign is judged to exist in rectangular coordinates which can not be divided any further.
