The invention provides a method for quickly identifying and counting votes on the basis of layout analysis. The format of vote can be self-defined by electoral units; images of votes are collected by a high-speed scanner; furthermore, a semantic database is established for key symbols such as tick, fork, ring or filling-typed small diamonds; comprehension capability of computer on the vote images is enhanced by the mapping between the symbol data and the semanteme. The method comprises the steps (1) the votes are scanned as vote images; (2) the vote images are pre-processed and pre-defined semantic database of the vote symbols is proposed; (3) inclination correction of the vote images are corrected; (4) table line is detected and extracted; (5) symbols are detected and extracted; (6) symbols are recognized; (7) the recognized structure is memorized in the database. The invention also provides a system for quickly identifying and counting votes on the basis of layout analysis. The method and the system have strong adaptability, high exactness and improve the working efficiency.

An adaptive automobile meter detection method based on character segmentation cascade classifier which processes threshold segmentation, morphology and connected components analysis on the original image; extracts the pointer based on the contour analysis method, establishes a pointer information list; constructs a character segmentation cascade classifier by combining a HOG/SVM character segmentation classifier, a character filter and a CNN digit classifier. The character segmentation cascade classifiers is used to identify the digit character area of the automobile meter. Region analysis is performed to extract tick marks based on the center of the digit character area. The angular position corresponding to the tick mark is determined. The response value corresponding to the pointer is determined by establishing the Newton interpolation linear description relationship between the pointer angle and the response value and then the meter is classified as pass or fail. The invention is suitable for the field of visual inspection of automobile meter pointers.

Roughly described, assertion expressions are evaluated against the binary signal values of a circuit simulation in such a way as to be able to report status information at intermediate levels of assertion subexpressions. In one embodiment, the status information reported for an intermediate subexpressions contains the final status of that subexpression in response to a given assertion attempt, at least to the extent it has been determined by the end of the evaluation period (e.g. pass, fail or indeterminate). In another embodiment, the status information reported for an intermediate subexpression contains a tick-by-tick analysis of the activity within that subexpression. In another embodiment, the status information for a subexpression can also contain a tick-by-tick analysis of the activity of an operator of the subexpression. Other kinds and levels of detail at the subexpression level can be provided in various other embodiments.

A semi-flexible insecticide strip is removably attached to the belt of a pelt collar to regenerate a pest-killing medicament and increase its efficacy. The strip is secured to the belt surface that faces the animal skin or fur by attachment loops or edged retainers that are generally perpendicular to the length direction of the belt. Due to the geometry and elasticity of the semi-flexible insecticide strip, and its attachment method, the strip contacts the skin or fur of the animal despite movement of the pet collar when the animal is being exercised with a pet leash attached thereto. The contact effectively transfers the insecticide and kills ticks and fleas or retards development of mature flea adults. The insecticide is contained within a plurality of plastic pores of the insecticide strip or in a sponge affixed thereto.

A power management controller is used to control power management states of a processing device. A register stores a timer tick value accessible to the power management controller. The timer tick value indicates when an interrupt is to occur in the processing device. The power management controller may use the exposed timer tick value to decide whether to transition between power management states such as an active state, an idle state, and a power-gated state. The timer tick value stored in the register may be modified by an operating system, an application, or software implemented on the processing device.
