Patent
Character recognition apparatus
TL;DR: In this paper, a magnetic character recognition system is disclosed for reading magnetized characters printed on a document such as a check, which system determines the magnitude and position of each of the peaks of an analog waveform representing each character read by a single gap magnetic read head.
Patent
Character recognition system
TL;DR: In this article, a character recognition system was employed for determining characters formed with magnetically impregnated ink on a check where a plurality of sequential pulses are generated for each of a plurality for each successive regions along a said character responsive to the movement through the system of the check, and there is included means synchronous with clock pulses at a rate equal to the timing pulse rate divided by the quantity of said plurality for determining the discrete signal areas to be observed and decoded.
