The text is analyzed to identify characters or digits and this analysis is then translated into a character code system such as ASCII. ICR is often used as a synonym for handwriting recognition.

Intra-City Relay. Fixed service used to transmit signal between a TX and an RX. ICRs and STLs can be licensed at 2 GHz, 7GHz, 13GHz, 18 GHZ or 23 GHz. As higher frequencies are used for fixed links, the path length will necessarily be shorter and shorter wavelengths dissipate their power more rapidly over a long distance.

Incremental Cancer Risk. The ICR estimates the likelihood of an individual developing cancer over a lifetime as a result of exposure to a potential carcinogen.

Individual Cancer Risk. The probability, expressed as chances in a million, that a person experiencing 70 years of continuous area-wide outdoor exposure to a toxic air contaminant will develop cancer.
