20090245801RECEIVER ON A PHOTONIC IC - An optical receiver includes a first substrate including a demultiplexer and a first optical waveguide array. An input of the demultiplexer is configured to receive a wavelength division multiplexed optical input signal having a plurality of channels. Each of the plurality of channels corresponds to one of a plurality of wavelengths. Each of the plurality of outputs is configured to supply a corresponding one of the plurality of channels. The first optical waveguide array has a plurality of inputs. Each of the inputs of the first optical waveguide array is configured to receive a corresponding one of the plurality of channels. A second substrate is in signal communication with the first substrate and includes an optical detector array. The optical detector array has a plurality of inputs, each of which is configured to receive a corresponding one of the plurality of channels and generate an electrical signal in response thereto.10-01-2009

20110229036METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TEXT AND ERROR PROFILING OF HISTORICAL DOCUMENTS - The present invention enables the computation of various types of information for a particular scanned and OCR recognised or retyped historical input document. It provides a global view on the “patterns” for historical language variation (text profiling) and the OCR errors most frequently found in the text (error profiling). For each of the individual tokens of the OCR output, an interpretation is given which based on the document specific information attempts to describe both, the underlying correct word of the text and the corresponding modern spelling of the word. This not only provides input for optimised OCR recognition of historical documents, but also for quality assurance and improved information retrieval.09-22-2011
