Abstract: A magnetic ink character reader/sorter having improved means for processing the character signals, storing the pocket selection control signals derived therefrom, and checking the overall operation of the machine. The documents are read by an improved single-gap recognition system, and the sorting information derived therefrom is supplied to a plurality of buffers in accordance with control signals derived from the motion of a document transport.

Abstract: An improved character recognition system for bar coded characters particularly of the form designated as ''''CMC7,'''' comprising characters formed with seven vertical bars known as strokes, which are separated by intervals of varying widths, the narrow and wide spacings in the intervals or spaces between the strokes comprising the code for the character. The electrical waveform obtained by scanning the characters with a suitable scanning head is differentiated and the signal and the derivative thereof are used in circuits which measure the inter-stroke intervals. Use of the derivative signal from the scanning or read head enhances reading by using it to locate the edges of the printed strokes.

Abstract: CHARACTER RECOGNITION SYSTEM A character recognition system including a timing subsystem, comprising a base oscillator or clock, and timing circuits driven by the base clock to provide a plurality of timing pulses for timing the operation of the entire system. The timing circuits are governed in part by delay circuits which are in turn controlled by the amplitude and location of peak signals derived from scanning earlier pulses. EN978027

Abstract: UNIT RECORD READER A power driven belt provides back-up pressure for a check or similar document bearing magnetic information as the document moves past a reading transducer. The belt is resiliently urged against cylindrical bearing surfaces adjacent the transducer to provide a noncritical geometry.

Abstract: An optical scanning station is disclosed which utilizes light bending apparatus such as mirrors or optical wedges to gather and redirect some of the illumination radiating from the object. The gathering of the light occurs off-axis from the lens and the redirection of the light to the lens causes an off-axis angle between the light beam and the lens axis, thereby resulting in multiple images which are spaced apart from each other when focused on an image plane. The multiple images may be split apart and directed to separate image planes by use of front surface mirrors making the images then available for individual capture by charge couple devices or other similar image capture apparatus. Alternatively, the outboard images may be redirected, again by mirrors, to be focused coincident to the on-axis image, thereby increasing the illumination level at the image plane well in excess of that obtainable with only a single image of the object being focused at the image plane. The primary advantage of these devices is either to permit separate images to be presented on separate image planes without the subtractive losses occasioned by use of subtractive beam splitters or to combine the multiple images to raise the illumination level of a single image at the image plane, thereby permitting the use of slower lenses or reduced illumination level at the object.

Abstract: DOCUMENT IMAGE PROCESSING SYSTEM Documents, such as bank checks, are processed at a high rate of speed on an image processing system which optically scans the documents and converts optically perceptible data on the documents into video image data. The video image data from the scanner is compressed by data compression techniques and the compressed data is sent over a high speed data channel to a high speed mass storage device which receives and temporarily stores the data. A lower speed mass data storage device, such as an optical disk, is connected for receiving at a lower data transfer rate the compressed video image data and for storing the video image data for subsequent retrieval. The system also includes real-time quality control systems for monitoring the quality of the image data to detect the existence of unacceptable image quality data and for generating a signal which can be used for immediately stopping the generation of unacceptable quality image data.
