A positioning system in an optical card reading apparatus, for accurately positioning the optical card (801) relative to the probe array (102) used to read the data stored on the card. The card (801) is provided with a pattern of servo bands (800) and the sensor (103) used to read out data stored on the optical card (801) has a windowing function which is used to narrow its field of view (802) to define a region of interest (900) corresponding to one or the servo bands (800), and the output is fed to an analogue-to-digital converter. Thus, the “windowing” function of the sensor (103) is used to increase the readout speed and, therefore, the speed of detection of servo marks (800) to enable more rapid positioning of the probe array (102) relative to the optical card (801).

An automatically dimming mirror includes a dimming element having variable reflectivity, the degree of reflectivity based on a control signal. An ambient light sensor is positioned to receive light from a region generally in front of the vehicle. The ambient light sensor outputs a discrete ambient light signal based on the amount of light incident on the ambient light sensor over an integration period. A glare sensor is positioned to view the scene generally behind the vehicle operator. The glare sensor outputs a discrete glare signal based on the amount of light incident on the glare sensor over an integration period. A dimming logic determines an ambient light level based on the ambient light signal. The glare integration period is determined based on the ambient light level. The glare signal resulting from the glare integration period determines a mirror glare level used to set the dimming element control signal.

A system and a method are disclosed for calibrating an image acquisition system of a farming machine. The farming machine captures images of objects in an environment as the farming machine moves through an environment.

A translation memory system enabling the user to not only narrow down the view range of search result, but also view a surrounding context of a retrieved text. Stored parallel texts include sentence-class and segment-class parallel texts. Parallel texts relevant to a given input text are retrieved and subjected to calculation of match rates with respect to the input text. A downward link is then added to each retrieved sentence-class parallel text, while an upward link is added to each retrieved segment-class parallel text. A search result screen shows a best matching parallel text with an expand button and / or a shrink button. The expand button causes the current parallel text to be replaced with an upper-class parallel text pointed at by a corresponding upward link. The shrink button causes the current parallel text to be replaced with a lower-class parallel text pointed at by a corresponding downward link.
