Abstract:
Systems and methods of processing scanned pages are described. In one aspect, the invention features a method of processing a sequence of scanned pages of a document in accordance with which, page number indicators are extracted from scanned pages of the document. A histogram of extracted page number indicators is computed. Scanned page sequence information is determined based at least in part on the computed histogram. A computer program and a system for implementing the scanned page processing method also are described.
Abstract:
Vacuum packaging methods and materials are claimed. The materials are fusible and can form a part of a heat seal closure for non-rigid and semi-rigid packages. The methods are suitable for packages containing materials generally, and are well suited for those containing granular materials.
Abstract:
A self-contained device for heating/dispensing or cooling/dispensing material is described. The device includes at least one heat- or cold-generating element and at least one container for containing material to be heated or cooled. The device can further be equipped with gussets or similar features to allow free-standing.
Abstract:
There is provided a lighting device 100 comprising a light source, a driver arranged for powering the light source, which is separated in space from the light source. The lighting device has two separate heat sinks, a light source heat sink 112 to which the light source is thermally coupled, and a driver heat sink 115 to which the driver is thermally coupled. The light source heat sink and the driver heat sink are separated by an air gap 114 to provide thermal decoupling of the light source heat sink and the driver heat sink.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a method and system for transferring TDM services in GPON, the method includes the steps of: in the case of performing the GPON ranging process, buffering the uplink TDM service data received by an optical signal transceiver in an Input Buffer, reading out and transferring the uplink TDM service data buffered in an Output Buffer. The present invention eliminates the possible interruption of TDM services during the GPON ranging process by buffering the uplink services at the OLT and ONU/ONT side and relevant processes, and therefore realizes the TDM service transmission without any loss during the GPON system ranging process.

Abstract:
Various methods and systems for determining a defect criticality index (DCI) for defects on wafers are provided. One computer-implemented method includes determining critical area information for a portion of a design for a wafer surrounding a defect detected on the wafer by an inspection system based on a location of the defect reported by the inspection system and a size of the defect reported by the inspection system. The method also includes determining a DCI for the defect based on the critical area information, a location of the defect with respect to the critical area information, and the reported size of the defect.
Abstract:
The invention provides an illumination apparatus (10) and a method of assembling the illumination apparatus. The illumination apparatus comprises a light source (101) having a plurality of LED arrays, wherein at least two of the plurality of LED arrays have different lumen degradations as a function of junction temperature of the respective LED arrays; and a heat dissipation unit (102) configured to be capable of dissipating heat generated by the light source, wherein the heat dissipation unit is mounted on a first surface of the light source in such a way that there is a gap between the first surface and the heat dissipation unit when the light source is not in operation, and the gap is narrowed or can be deemed to disappear when the light source reaches a preset temperature, so that the heat dissipation efficiency of the heat dissipation unit is improved.
Abstract:
