Abstract:
Sequentially displaying posts apart from each other on a computer screen, including prompting a user to input a dimension element including one or more of a character, graphic, or symbol on the computer screen; identifying posts containing one or more dimension elements; sequentially displaying the identified posts apart from each other along a first axis; displaying a moveable cursor along the first axis across one or more displayed posts and that indicates only one or more particular posts; moving the cursor according to the user's operation; identifying one or more posts at a position currently indicated by the cursor; identifying one or more additional posts containing one or more dimension elements related to the elements contained in the posts currently indicated by the cursor; and sequentially displaying posts of the one or more additionally identified posts along a second axis.
Abstract:
Confidential information included in image and voice data is filtered in an apparatus that includes an extraction unit for extracting a character string from an image frame, and a conversion unit for converting audio data to a character string. The apparatus also includes a determination unit for determining, in response to contents of a database, whether at least one of the image frame and the audio data include confidential information. The apparatus also includes a masking unit for concealing contents of the image frame by masking the image frame in response to determining that the image frame includes confidential information, and for making the audio data inaudible by masking the audio data in response to determining that the audio data includes confidential information. The playback unit included in the apparatus is for playing back the image frame and the audio data.
Abstract:
Systems for executing a number of agents in a multiagent system are presented including: an agent executing apparatus for managing a number of active agents and for controlling activities associated with the number of active agents such that the number of active agents are cooperatively processed, where the agent executing apparatus is configured to provide an intra-transaction message mechanism and an out-of-transaction message mechanism; a cache for temporarily storing the number of active agents, where the number of active agents include a first active agent in a committed transaction and a second active agent in an uncommitted transaction; a permanent storage device for storing the number of agents before the number of agents enter a running state.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a highly reliable e-mail communication device capable of monitoring validity of a certificate of the e-mail communication device itself. The e-mail communication device includes a certificate storage unit which stores a certificate of the e-mail communication device itself, a signature unit which adds a digital signature to e-mail by using the certificate, a transmission unit which transmits the e-mail, and a monitor unit which monitors validity of the certificate.
Abstract:
An entangled photon pair generating apparatus has a first definite polarization photon pair generating apparatus for generating a first definite polarization photon pair beam according to an incident pump beam, a wave plate for rotating by 90 degrees a plane of polarization of the first definite polarization photon pair beam emitted from the first definite polarization photon pair generating apparatus, and a second definite polarization photon pair generating apparatus for generating a second definite polarization photon pair beam according to the incident pump beam. They are adjacently placed in order along an optical axis of the incident pump beam.
Abstract:
In an optical pickup, light, emitted from a light-emitting element, is transmitted through a first beam splitter film with polarization selectivity, and a zero-order diffraction beam and two (.+-.) first order diffraction beams are produced. These beams are applied in a condensed manner to an optical disk through a condensing element, and the return light beam from the optical disk is fed to a photodetector through a second beam splitter film with polarization selectivity, thereby effecting the recording and reproduction of information, the tracking and the focusing. A diffusion angle conversion hologram is provided between the light-emitting element and the first beam splitter film, and with respect to the diffusion angle conversion hologram, the relation between the diffusion angle of the incident beam and the diffusion angle of the outgoing beam is specified. With this arrangement, the light to be incident on the condensing element can have an ideal spherical wave free from a wave aberration, so that an image spot on the optical disk can be condensed into a diffraction limit, and besides by correcting the phase of the beam, a RF signal with a high C/N ratio, a stable focus error signal and a stable track signal are detected.
Abstract:
A photoreceptor that has at least a subbing layer and a light-sensitive layer formed on an electro-conductive supports is disclosed. The improvement is that said subbing layer is formed of a copolymer comprising ethylene, vinyl acetate and an unsaturated carboxylic acid and/or vinyl alcohol.
Abstract:
An image forming device prints out a data file including a data body, which is printed out, and additional data, which is not printed out. The additional data includes at least authentication data. The image forming device includes an identification entry unit, an operator authentication unit, and a print execution unit. The identification entry unit accepts an entry of the identification data of an operator. The operator authentication unit authenticates the identification data of the operator by the authentication data of the data file. The print execution unit prints out result data, according to whether the authenticated identification data is appropriate or inappropriate, along with the data body of the data file.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a surface treatment agent comprising: (A) an acrylic resin having a hydrolysable silyl group, a hydroxyl group and a polysiloxane chain; (B) an organopolysiloxane having a hydrolysable silyl group; and (C) an organopolysiloxane not having a hydrolysable silyl group.
