Abstract: A machine translation system including an input unit, a first text memory, a translation dictionary, a translation processor, a second text memory, and a control editor. The first and second text memories respectively store an original text and a translated text. The translation dictionary includes a word/idiom dictionary. The translation processor executes translation processing of the original text using the content of the translation dictionary to obtain the translated text. The control editor controls the respective units, and performs edit processing of at least the translated text. The control editor includes a changing section for changing a translated word in the translated text corresponding to a designated word in the original text to another translated word, and a replacing section for, when the translated word in the translated text corresponding to the designated word in the original text is changed to another translated word by the changing section, providing priority to a translated word in which a translated word portion corresponding to the designated word in the original text is replaced with the other translated word as a translated word corresponding to an entry word including the designated word in the original text in the word/idiom dictionary.

Abstract: This invention provides an image processing apparatus provided with an outline extracting section for extracting an outline of an input image and a color converting section for converting the color of the outline extracted into a predetermined color. This apparatus is therefore capable of extracting the outline of an input image, applying color conversion to the outline extracted, and emphasizing a pattern such as a character, a graphic pattern or the like. The apparatus is further provided with a converting-color designating section for designating a converting color to be applied to the outline, a color detecting section for detecting a portion having a predetermined color in the input image, and a region designating section for designating a predetermined region in the input image. Accordingly, the outline alone can be independently processed so that an outlined character, a shaded character or the like can be formed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing computer processed animation. A work station (4) which comprises a computer and peripheral equipment is operative in producing a graphic movement sequence for a cartoon figure (10), by compiling a recording of measuring data from strategic parts of an actor, and storing in a memory (7) information concerning the figure to be animated. The figure is divided into a plurality of sections which are movable in relation to one another. Prior to figure compilation for producing an image of the figure, the measuring data recording for each section is obtained in the form of a space angle. Prior to compiling each section, a grouping of a pre-determined number of perspective drawings is stored, in digitalized form in a respective area of the memory (7), each grouping in a plurality of mutually different space angle positions. A memory area of interest representing a perspective drawing of one of the sections can be addressed with the aid of information relating to said space angle obtained from the measuring data recording for the section concerned. The figure is compiled in the compilation image in accordance with a pre-determined sequential compilation schedule, section after section, wherein each subsequent section is added to nearest proceeding section at a joint location (e.g. M2, M3, etc.) common to both sections.

Abstract: In this year marking the Bicentennial of the Judiciary Act of 1789, and in a symposium designed to commemorate that Act, it might seem perverse, if not downright gauche, to begin by reminding the reader that § 13 of this Act was the only congressional provision held unconstitutional by the Supreme Court for the first third of our Constitution's history. (The case, of course, was Marbury v Madison. 1 ) I nevertheless begin this way because I believe that a careful re-examination of the narrow constitutional issues raised by § 13 will yield important insights into larger and much debated issues of constitutional law. And the icing on the (200th birthday) cake is that such a re-examination will acquit § 13 of the Marbury Court's charge of unconstitutionality-surely a fitting message to deliver on this celebratory occasion (even though it raises some problems for me about what I shall be able to write without perversity or gaucherie fourteen years hence, on the Bicentennial of Marbury itself).2 A brief summary of the questions that I shall pose, and the answers that I shall offer, is in order at the outset. After a broad

Abstract: PURPOSE: To realize smooth document circulation by referencing the sequence of circulation when a document is understood and delivering the circulation document sequentially to succeeding circulated persons. CONSTITUTION: When a person making a circulation document sends the document, a circulation destination list edit registration section 8-2 registers a circulation destination list to the circulation document. On the other hand, when the circulation person sends the document or an approval person approves the document, a document approval/acknowledge section 8-1 applies the acknowledge processing or the approval processing of the circulation document, a circulation destination list analysis section 9 analyzes the circulation destination list to obtain the succeeding circulation person, and a document transmission/reception section 10 delivers the circulation document to the succeeding circulation party. Since the document is circulated automatically to the succeeding circulation and approval person after the acknowledge and approval of the circulation and approval person only, the transmission procedure of the document is simplified.

Abstract: A reduced-layout display apparatus includes a clear section, a boundary pattern developing section, a print data developing section, a buffer section, and a display section. The clear section clears pattern data in a display buffer in response to setting of a print image display mode. The boundary pattern developing section develops boundary pattern data corresponding to a boundary pattern indicating a paper size capable of printing in the buffer section at a predetermined reduction ratio. A print image pattern corresponding print data is reduced at the reduction ratio by the print data developing section, and the reduced print image pattern data is also developed in the buffer section. The reduced-layout display apparatus can comprise a clipping range detecting section for detecting a range of print data to be developed. Even when a screen of the display section has a limited size, the print image can be displayed using a plurality of frames.

Abstract: The main purpose of the study was to determine if the online catalog can function both as a dictionary and classified catalog without requiring additional time or intellectual effort on the part of the cataloger. A total of 1842 MARC bibliographic records listed in the 370-379 classified section of American Book Publishing Record were studied. These records displayed 2735 subject headings. Of these, 1491 (55%) had a Library of Congress classification number linked to them. An alphabetical and classified index was created using primary subjects and their related classification numbers. While such an index could be a useful browsing device if integrated into an online catalog, creating a bona fide classified catalog would require assigning classification numbers to the secondary subject headings.

Abstract: PURPOSE: To allow the operation guide of same content to be recognized simultaneously in voice and in character by providing a data transmission/reception control section, a parallel operation control section, a data readout control section and a data storage section having a voice guiding area and a character guiding area. CONSTITUTION: Upon the receipt of a connection request from a user telephone set through a telephone circuit 201, a data transmission/reception control section 100 drives a data readout control section 102 via a parallel operation control section 101. The control section 102 reads a voice operation guiding data from the voice guiding area in a data storage section 103 to send the data as an operation guide converted into voice to a line 201 via the control sections 101, 100 and the user according to the guide requests the connection to the control section 100 via the line 201 from a character display terminal equipment. Then the connection is informed from the control section 100 to the control section 101 and the control section 101 reads the voice operation guide from an area 300 via the control section 102 and the character operation guide from a character guide area 301 and sends them to the circuit 201. Thus, the operation guide of the same content is recognized in voice and in character simultaneously. COPYRIGHT: (C)1991,JPO&Japio

Abstract: PURPOSE:To attain inexpensive transmission of communication information not requiring real time by mounting a communication information storage means, a destination identification means and a position detection means to a circulating satellite, controlling them by a program and applying transmission/ reception. CONSTITUTION:n-Set of zones are set on ground and when a satellite 10 comes on the zone, an earth station 20 sends a facsimile signal. Upon the receipt of a signal, the satellite 10 stores the signal in a communication information storage section 14 mounted in the inside. A destination code is added to the facsimile equipment and a destination detection section 17 identifies the destination corresponding to the information of the stored signal by the destination corresponding to the information. Then the position detection section 15 makes the read timing correspondent to the position on grown by the information stored in the storage section 14 according to the identified destination and a program control section 16 reads the information and sends the result from a transmission/reception section 13. Thus, the communication information not requiring the real time is sent inexpensively.
