20080241447 | Blow Molded Polyester Container With An Over-Molded Thermoplastic Layer - The invention is directed to polyester containers that are produced from polyester preforms, the preforms preferably having a thermoplastic over-mold layer on at least a part of the exterior surface of the preform. The preform is made by over-molding the thermoplastic layer onto the preform surface in one or more over-molding operations. In a single over-molding embodiment the preform has a body layer of a first color and the over-molded layer of a second color. The over-mold layer can have a thickness gradient varying in thickness from one end of the preform to adjacent another end of the preform. This will give the blow molded container a unique appearance where there the container will be substantially transparent or of a first color and the over-mold layers of differing colors. The over-mold layers can have a thickness and color gradient. A third color will result from the blending of the first color and the differing colors of the over-mold layers where the first color and the differing colors can both be perceived. There can result only a first color at one end and a second color at another end with a third color varying blend intermediate between the one end and the another end. The color of the contained liquid can also add to the color mixing when the container is substantially transparent. | 10-02-2008 |
20090294457 | Container For Products Containing Aromatic Compounds - A container is provided for substances that contain an antibacterial compound. The container is comprised of a tube body and a tube shoulder that includes a tube nozzle. The tube body may have a laminate structure. The tube shoulder may be comprised of an alkene based polymer such as a polyethylene or a polypropylene. Such alkene based polymers have a high absorptivity for antibacterial compounds such as triclosan. It has been found that the absorptivity for triclosan can be reduced through the use of at least one of polytrimethylene naphthalate, polyethylene naphthalate and acrolonitrile/methacrylate as the surface contacting the composition containing the antibacterial. This surface can be a film on the tube shoulder/nozzle, the full structure of the tube nozzle, an insert in the tube nozzle or a co-injection molded surface on a shoulder/nozzle. The absorption is less than 1.0 mg/dm | 12-03-2009 |

20080240570 | SYMBOL GRAPH GENERATION IN HANDWRITTEN MATHEMATICAL EXPRESSION RECOGNITION - A forward pass through a sequence of strokes representing a handwritten equation is performed from the first stroke to the last stroke in the sequence. At each stroke, a path score is determined for a plurality of symbol-relation pairs that each represents a symbol and its spatial relation to a predecessor symbol. A symbol graph having nodes and links is constructed by backtracking through the strokes from the last stroke to the first stroke and assigning scores to the links based on the path scores for the symbol-relation pairs. The symbol graph is used to recognize a mathematical expression based in part on the scores for the links and the mathematical expression is stored. | 10-02-2008 |
20090214117 | HANDWRITING SYMBOL RECOGNITION ACCURACY USING SPEECH INPUT - Described is a bimodal data input technology by which handwriting recognition results are combined with speech recognition results to improve overall recognition accuracy. Handwriting data and speech data corresponding to mathematical symbols are received and processed (including being recognized) into respective graphs. A fusion mechanism uses the speech graph to enhance the handwriting graph, e.g., to better distinguish between similar handwritten symbols that are often misrecognized. The graphs include nodes representing symbols, and arcs between the nodes representing probability scores. When arcs in the first and second graphs are determined to match one another, such as aligned in time and associated with corresponding symbols, the probability score in the second graph for that arc is used to adjust the matching probability score in the first graph. Normalization and smoothing may be performed to correspond the graphs to one another and to control the influence of one graph on the other. | 08-27-2009 |
20090245646 | Online Handwriting Expression Recognition - One way of recognizing online handwritten mathematical expressions is to use a one-pass dynamic programming based symbol decoding generation algorithm. This method embeds segmentation into symbol identification to form a unified framework for symbol recognition. Along with decoding, a symbol graph is produced. Besides accurately recognizing handwritten mathematical expressions, this method can produce high quality symbol graphs. This method uses six knowledge source models to help search for possible symbol hypotheses during the decoding process. Here, knowledge source exponential weights and a symbol insertion penalty are used to weigh the various knowledge source model probabilities to increase accuracy. | 10-01-2009 |
20100166314 | Segment Sequence-Based Handwritten Expression Recognition - Methods and apparatuses for generating, by a computing device configured to interpret a handwritten expression, a symbol graph to represent strokes associated with the handwritten expression, are described herein. The symbol graph may include nodes, each node corresponding to a combination of a stroke and a candidate symbol for that stroke. The computing device may also generate a segment graph based on the symbol graph by combining nodes associated with a same stroke if strokes of their preceding nodes are the same. Also the computing device may perform a structure analysis on at least a subset of segment sequences represented by the segment graph to determine hypotheses for the handwritten expression. In other embodiments, rather than generate a segment graph, the computing device may determine segment sequences by selecting a number of symbol sequences from the symbol graph and combining symbol sequences having the same segmentation. | 07-01-2010 |
