International Classification:

G06F 17/00

US Classification:

707102, 715268

Abstract:

The techniques in the present invention allow both text and handwritten queries, and the queries can be single-word or multiword. Generally, each handwritten word in a handwritten document is converted to a document stack of words, where each document stack contains a list of text words and a word score of some type for each text word in the list. The query is also converted to one or more stacks of words. A measure is determined from each query and document stack. Documents that meet search criteria in the query are then selected based on the query and the values of the measures. The present invention also performs multiple recognitions, with multiple recognizers, on a handwritten document to create multiple recognized transcriptions of the document. The multiple transcriptions are used for document retrieval. In another embodiment, a single transcription is created from the multiple transcriptions, and the single transcription is used for document retrieval.

International Classification:

G06F015/16

US Classification:

709/228000

Abstract:

A modular computer system includes a core unit comprising a processor and a memory; a removable modular accessory; a docking connector for connecting the accessory to the core unit; and one or more subsystems contained within the accessory. The system is partitioned such that any of the cooling, power or input/output subsystems can be disposed within the modular accessory such that these subsystems can be removed from the system by removing the accessory. The core unit by itself is not useful to a user because it lacks power, cooling, or a user interface. The core unit can be connected into any of a variety of accessories and it adapts its functions to the system resources provided by each type of accessory.
