Abstract: An apparatus for sorting mail is disclosed. In the apparatus, a readout section reads out destination data on mail. A discriminating section discriminates the destination data on the basis of the result of readout by the readout section. A plurality of coding desks each include a display section for displaying the readout result by the readout section when the discriminating section fails to discriminate the destination data, and a keyboard for enabling the destination data corresponding to the contents of display by the display section to be input. The plurality of coding desks are assigned to regions or cities. A distributing section distributes the readout result by the readout section to coding desks corresponding to regions or cities as recognized from part of the address data when the discriminating section fails to discriminate the destination data. A sorting data assigning section assigns to the mail the sorting data according to the result of discriminating operation by the discriminating section or the destination data by the keyboards of the coding desks. A sorting/collecting section sorts and collects the mail into predetermined sorting sections according to the sorting data applied by the sorting data assigning section.

Abstract: While the metrical arrangement of the Catullan corpus has seemed to many scholars too artificial and inartistic to have been the poet's own choice, this opinion is now being challenged, in part because recent studies have shown that the collections could have been included in one roll, or Liber, and thus may be read as a single structure. Critics increasingly have sought the principles of organization in thematic correspondences or in the formation of ‘cycles’ within the three metrical groupings. Current studies have focused on the resonances in and among the groups, and on the function (and identification) of the first and last poems of each section and of the corpus as a whole.Several scholars have suggested (although without unanimity in specifics, and for different reasons) that the three sections consist of poems 1-51, 61-64, and 65-116. Others (see Most, n. 3 below) argue that the long poems are arranged as a group, so that the corpus consists of the polymetrics, the long poems (61-68), and the short elegiacs (69-116). Any attempt to explain the arrangement of Catullus' poetry must address this controversy. One way to approach the problem is to examine c. 65, the first poem in elegiac meter. While some studies note that c. 65 hints at a ‘new poetic consciousness in Catullus’ this richly textured piece is still dismissed as ‘merely a covering letter.’ The following discussion seeks to discover whether c. 65 does simply accompany c. 66, or whether, reflecting the themes and motifs of the preceding poetry, it implies an alteration in the poet's sensibility.

Abstract: Sending and receiving of information between a coinmech control section performing controls relating to receiving and paying out of coins and a vendor control section performing controls relating to selection and vending of an article are made under the leadership of the vendor control section. Multiple kinds of information to be sent and received are previously classified into a plurality of modes and a mode including necessary information to be sent and received is designated on the side of the vendor control section by a mode selection code. Responsive to contents of the mode selection code, one of the coinmech control section and the vendor control section is brought into an information sending state and the other into an information receiving state whereby a group of information for this mode is sent and received.

Abstract: In Swift v. Tyson, the Supreme Court held that section 34 of the Judiciary Act of 1789 did not require a federal court in a commercial case to apply the rule followed by the courts of the state in which it sat. Instead, a federal court was free in such a case to follow the general law merchant. Legal historians have judged this holding a radical departure from earlier understandings of section 34. In this Article, Professor Fletcher demonstrates that the holding in Swift was largely a restatement of settled law. In the early nineteenth century, section 34 was regarded as the partial embodiment of the general principle of lex loci, which required courts to follow local law in cases where it applied. Section 34 and the lex loci principle were never thought to prevent a federal court from following the general common law in cases where it applied. Professor Fletcher uses as his example the law of marine insurance from about r8oo to 182o. During those years, state and federal courts succeeded in creating a stable, uniform system of common law that the federal courts applied without any hint that section 34 might require otherwise. The analysis of marine insurance cases suggests that we revise our historical judgment of Swift: these cases show that, long before Swift, there was a broad consensus that it was proper for federal courts sitting in diversity to apply the general common law in adjudicating commercial disputes. IN 1842, the Supreme Court held in Swift v. Tyson1 that it was not bound by section 34 of the Judiciary Act of 17892 to follow state court decisions on matters of general commercial law. The conventional wisdom of modern legal scholarship is that this decision marked a sudden and dramatic change from prior practice. 3 Yet for all the

Abstract: An instruction manual as a plurality of chapters, each chapter having a plurality of sections, the pages of the chapters being arranged in a first binder of a different size. At least one of the sections of the chapters comprises a personal reference section made up of pages of different size than the pages of the other sections of the chapters, and containing practical operational information concerning a feature of the equipment to which the instruction manual is directed. The pages of the different size personal reference section of the chapters are selectively removably received in the first binder. A second binder, a personal reference binder, is provided, which is of a size to accept the selectively removed personal reference section pages, and being of a size different from the size of the first binder. A common Table of Contents and a common Index are provided for both of the first and second binders, and refer to the pages in both the first and second binders. By selectively removing personal reference section pages from the first binder, and placing them in the second binder, the user can build up a personalized reference binder (second binder) personal to the user and describing only those features of the equipment which are of interest to the user at that particular time.

Abstract: PURPOSE:To improve the processing speed and efficiency and to simplify the constitution of a processing section by only preparing a table, by using a syntax check table to check each word subject to word separation with the table. CONSTITUTION:A source program written on each card 1... is read with a card reader and the content is separated into words 3 in the unit of syllables being the basic building block of the program at a word separating processing section 2. Further, a syntax check table 5 is formed by assuming all words to be analyzed for syntax. A syntax analysis processing section 6 reads the syntax check table 5, and each word 3 is compared with the syntax check table for being checked with the coincidence, and performing the analysis of syntax. An intermediate text (i.e., object programs 81, 82) is obtained at an EXIT routine processing section 7 at the final stage.
