In the last years, mobile phones have evolved to devices with highresolution cameras and Internet connection. In this context, the idea of applying OCR techniques to the pictures taken with these devices rises. As result of this idea, we have built mOCRa, the application presented in this work.

The expansion device is the critical component of micro-to-small scale organic Rankine cycle (ORC) systems, substantially affecting system efficiency and cost. Low isentropic lubrication requirements are main issues associated with using volumetric expanders in ORC systems. Despite contributing to reducing internal leakages an expander, it may compromise performance by adversely evaporator’s th...

In this paper, we propose a new method for the best ranking of OCR word hypotheses in order to increase the chances that the correct hypothesis will be ranked in the first position. This method is based on the images construction of the OCR word hypotheses and the calculation of the dissimilarity scores between these last constructed images and the image to recognize. To evaluate the new propos...

This paper presents the use of CFD as a design tool in the development of rotary compressor for the purpose of reduction in Oil Circulation Rate (OCR). In the present work, CFD analysis is done using a commercial CFD package to simulate the discharge gas flow within the rotary compressor. Discharge gas flow path in the compressor is redefined by providing features that support OCR reduction. On...

Online consumer reviews (OCR) have helped consumers to know about the strengths and weaknesses of different products and find the ones that best suit their needs. This research investigates the predictors of readership and helpfulness of OCR using a sentiment mining approach. Our findings show that reviews with higher levels of positive sentiment in the title receive more readerships. Sentiment...

The SESAME team submitted four MED-11 runs which combined video content extraction results consisting of visual features, video OCR results, and motion features. The primary run and one of the secondary runs used two different methods of fusing visual features and OCR results; a third run combined visual features and motion features; and a fourth run combined visual features, OCR results, and m...

A new method for the detection and recording of the oculocardiac reflex (OCR) is described and applied to 49 healthy infants and children (six months to nine years old) undergoing strabismus surgery under halothane anaesthesia with spontaneous ventilation. Eighty-one extraocular muscles were studied. Square wave stimuli (abrupt and sustained tractions) were definitely more reflexogenic than slo...

Traditional OCR systems are designed for planar (dewarped) images and the accuracy is reduced when applied on warped images. Therefore, developing new OCR techniques for warped images or developing dewarping techniques are the possible solutions for improving OCR accuracy camera-captured documents. Among different types of dewarping techniques, curled textlines information based dewarping techn...

Abstract—Cyber exercises used to assess the preparedness of a community against cyber crises, technology failures and Critical Information Infrastructure (CII) incidents. The cyber exercises also called cyber crisis exercise or cyber drill, involved partnerships or collaboration of public and private agencies from several sectors. This study investigates Organisation Cyber Resilience (OCR) of p...

The ocr protein, the product of gene 0.3 of bacteriophage T7, is a structural mimic of the phosphate backbone of B-form DNA. In total it mimics 22 phosphate groups over ~24 bp of DNA. This mimicry allows it to block DNA binding by type I DNA restriction enzymes and to inhibit these enzymes. We have determined that multiple ocr dimers can bind stoichiometrically to the archetypal type I enzyme, ...
