Abstract: A minimum parallax stylus detection subsystem is disclosed for use with a graphic input grid overlay which is positioned on the viewing surface of a display device. The invention has a three phase operation wherein, during the first phase, the stylus is at a remote distance from the viewing surface of the display and therefore no representation of the stylus position is displayed. During a second phase, the stylus is brought within a first threshold distance from the viewing surface of the display, during which a cursor image is generated which is precisely positioned on the display corresponding to the detected position of the stylus. During a third phase of operation of the invention, the stylus is brought within a close proximity of the viewing surface of the display, during which the cursor image is removed from the display and an actual trace of the path of the stylus with respect to the graphic input grid overlay is shown. In this manner, the operator can focus attention on the displayed location of the cursor instead of on the physical location of the stylus, thereby minimizing the parallax error in the location of the stylus with respect to the displayed image.

Abstract: A SYSTEM FOR AUTOMATIC ADJUSTMENT AND EDITING OF HANDWRITTEN TEXT IMAGES A system of information formatting and editing using handwritten input data on an all points addressable tablet. Input words are segmented then reformatted in a consistent manner of spacing and horizontal alignments to provide a legible output while still maintaining the handwritten format. Editing functions such as delete, add and move are provided in an interactive manner.

Abstract: 843,946. Valve limiting circuits. INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION. Nov. 27, 1956 [Nov. 30, 1955], No. 36235/56. Class 40(6). [Also in Group XIX] A limiting circuit for deriving uniformamplitude pulses from an incoming pulse train wherein both the pulse amplitude and the "background" level may vary comprises a limiter valve to the control grid of which the input signal is applied, a first averaging circuit which varies the bias at the cathode of the limiting valve in accordance with the mean level of the input signal and, in order to reduce undesired variations in said bias level caused by pulses of considerable duration at the input, a second averaging circuit to which there is applied the output from the limiter valve, which is inverted with respect to the input, the output from said second averaging circuit being fed back to the cathode of the limiter valve together with the mean-level signal derived from the first averaging circuit. The invention has application in a system for reading graphic data involving scanning of the material being read and in which, as Fig. 2 indicates, the peak pulse level in one scan S3 may differ only slightly from the background level during a different scan Sl, so that the input signal to the circuit may take a form somewhat as shown in Fig. 3. The input signal is applied through grid current-limiting resistor 41 to the control grid of limiter valve 23 and also through a potential divider 9 to an averaging circuit comprising a capacitor 16 which by virtue of diodes 12 and 14 and resistors 11 and 13 has different charging and discharging time constants. The "average-level" signal developed across capacitor 16 is applied by cathode follower 18 to one end of a resistor chain 20, a tapping point on which is connected to the cathode of the limiter valve 23 to vary the bias level thereof in accordance with the incoming signal. The output from the limiter valve 23 is applied through capacitor 26 to a level-setting diode 27 which maintains the background level of the signal at earth potential. The limited signals are then applied to an averaging circuit similiar to that already described and the output therefrom is applied to the other end of the resistor chain 20 so that the bias level of the limiter valve also depends on the negativegoing excursions of its output 20 so as to compensate for its dependence upon the positive-going excursions of the incoming signal. Figs. 4, 5, and 6 (not shown) show alternative form of the averaging circuits in which only one diode is employed; so that e.g. the charging resistance comprises two resistors in parallel, one being in series with the diode, while the discharging resistance comprises only that resistor which is not in series with the diode.
