    Abstract: An optical scanning unit particularly adapted for use in remote optical character recognition systems or the like and including a document feed drum together with a rotating mirror arranged to sweep a narrow beam of light on a scan path across the drum while the latter is stationary between indexing steps, there being provided adjacent the scan path an elongate strip of semiconducting material of the PIN type arranged to produce electrical output signals in response to incident light reflected from the scanning sweep across the document, thereby to develop scan signals indicating the presence or absence of character elements along the scan path.

    Abstract: An optical character recognition system including a laser scanner unit adapted to scan a document having preprinted markings to indicate where the characters are to be placed. Variations in light intensity reflected from the document and characters produce scan signals which are processed to determine the characters. The color of the markings on the document is related to the laser frequency such that the light reflected from the markings has the same intensity as the light reflected from the document background, so that the presence of the markings does not interfere with the reading of the characters.

    Abstract: A system comprising a central station having data processing apparatus with a common data buss arrangement interconnecting a data processor with its peripheral devices including a number of incoming data buffers. A plurality of remote desk-top scanner units are connected to the central station, each being arranged to receive a document bearing graphic characters and to scan the characters on the document with an optical light beam so as to sweep the character area in a series of adjacent paths. Each remote scanner has means to develop scan signals representing the light reflected from the scanned document and to produce binary code groups indicating the scan distances between certain selected events such as white-to-black transitions. The code groups from each remote scanner are transmitted to a respective data buffer at the central station and subsequently are decoded to reconstruct the original video scan data in a form suitable for deciphering by character recognition means so as to identify the individual characters of the document. The central data processing apparatus, including decoding and character recognition means, operates on a time-sharing basis to service all of the remote units.

    Abstract: Test equipment for verifying trunk routing in a telephone system by developing, in response to a verification request, a series of spoken words identifying the area code and the telephone exchange to which the trunk under test is connected. The equipment includes a plurality of input channels each coupled to the verification line for a corresponding telephone exchange. A ringing signal on any channel is detected and a binary flag is set in an associated latch. All of the latches are scanned in rotational sequence by a multiplexer which, when a flag is detected, stops scanning and initiates a read-out operation from a speech-generating unit having a number of selectable speech signals stored in digital format in a read-only memory. Special logic circuitry is provided to identify the required telephone exchange digits, and to produce a read-out of the area code and exchange digits in sequence. The digits which are developed in response to a verification request are controlled by manuallyinsertable encoding keys, permitting customer modification of the predetermined voice response.
