    Abstract: Analog voltage levels derived from optically scanning a document or from magnetically scanning a magnetic record, depend upon the variable amplitude of a background signal. The analog voltage levels are processed by a bucket brigade circuit to set a threshold from which a binary decision may be made as to the presence of a black or white indicium in optical recognition or a one (1) or zero (0) bit in magnetic reading.

    Abstract: An array of optically sensitive devices senses printed matter with each device in the array producing an output signal representing a single black or white element in a multi-element picture being sensed by the whole array. These output signals are fed into an analog charge transfer shift register and passed serially in a fixed sequence through an output stage of the shift register. As the signal from each device passes through this output stage the device becomes what is hereafter referred to as the device of interest and the signal produced by it is analyzed to determine whether it is a black or white element. Other output stages simultaneously sense data from devices located around the device of interest to define a subarray within the original detected array while the last of these output stages is fed to a peak comparator to sense the brightest and darkest matter detected in the recent past by any element of the array. The results of these sensings are processed in accordance with a preselected algorithm to generate a digital signal wich is an indication of whether the device of interest has detected black or white.
