Abstract: In a system and method for merging a plurality of sorted lists using a multi-processing machine, the sorted lists are divided into a number of tasks equal to the number of processors. Pre-ordered lists which need no merging are removed initially in step 306. Search bounds are then determined in step 316 and an appropriate task size based upon the number of processors and the number of records is determined in step 308. The sorted lists are partitioned into the number of tasks equal to the number of processors in step 310. The tasks are then separately sorted in step 312 and concatenated to form a single sorted list in step 314. Advantage is taken of the multi-processing machine during the creation of the tasks, as well as the actual sorting.

Abstract: With an image processor of the present invention, when a reduction mode is selected, image data of a document is stored, and whether the image data includes a character or not is detected. If no character is recognized, copying is performed. On the other hand, if a character is recognized, the character is reduced. Subsequently, the reduced character is re-recognized, and an unrecognized character rate is calculated. If the unrecognized character rate is smaller than a reference rate, copying is performed and the reduction mode comes to an end. On the other hand, if the unrecognized character rate is higher than or equal to the reference rate, a warning massage is displayed to show that reduction processing is unavailable so as to terminate the copying operation, or correct the reduced character while comparing the previously recognized character with the reduced character and start copying. With this structure, since the reduced image contains easily readable characters, the handling of the image processor is improved and its value is increased. Moreover, since only a practically usable reduced image is output, the waste of sheets is prevented.

Abstract: A printing apparatus has an operating state detection and transmission means for detecting at least one operating state of the printing apparatus and transmitting status information representing said at least one operating state to a host computer (61) to which the printing apparatus is connected. The operating state detection and transmission means comprises state detection means (47, 54, 68, 71, 72) for detecting said operating state; state change detection means (74, 76) for detecting a change in the output of the state detection means; and status transmission means (77) for transmitting said status information corresponding to the output of the state detection means. The status information is automatically transmitted in response to each change in the output of the state detection means. Such status information may be enabled or disabled, for instance by a corresponding control command from the host computer. Since the status information is automatically sent if and only if a detected operating state of the printing apparatus has changed, a high reliability is achieved with the smallest possible amount of status information to be sent and processed by the host computer.

Abstract: A method for finding a result function which is an approximation or an equivalent of a target function. The method derives a hypothesis function from a set of examples which are consistent with the target function. An equivalence oracle is then used to test the hypothesis function. If the equivalence oracle indicates that the hypothesis function is equivalent, the method terminates; if the function is not equivalent, the equivalence oracle returns a counterexample with which the target function but not the hypothesis function is consistent. The counterexample is used to modify the set of examples and a new hypothesis function is derived from the modified set of examples and tested as described above. The modification of the set of examples is done using a membership oracle, which takes a value from the target function's range and returns the value of the target function on that value. Efficiency is increased by use of a greedy technique involving the meet operation to add examples to the set of examples. The method is applied to functions expressed as polynomials on Boolean variables, but may be applied to functions expressed generally as multilinear polynomials.

Abstract: An IDC connector comprises an insulative housing (4), a prismatic cavity (12), insulating displacing contacts (6) projecting thereinto and an actuator (14) having a wire receiving hole (16) and a screwdriver slot (34). Connection of an insulated conducting wire to a contact (6) is effectuated by inserting the wire into the hole (16) and then applying torque to the actuator (14) by means of a screwdriver. Cooperation of the outer profile (30) of the actuator (14) with camming surfaces (20, 22 and 24) of the cavity (12) causes simultaneous rotation and translation of the actuator (14), whereby the wire is translated in a linear manner into an insulation displacing slot (10) of the contact (6) for connection thereto. Disconnection is effectuated by simply reversing the torque on the actuator (14). The advantages of the connector are the accessibility of the wire and the screwdriver from the same direction, providing for a compact design; the quick and reliable visual inspection of the connections and additionally the cost-effectiveness due to the small number of parts and the simplicity thereof, such as the planar edge-stamped contact (6).

Abstract: It is an abject to stably and surely perform protection operation of devices. Since the gate threshold voltage V GE (th)S 
     in a sense IGBT cell constituting a sensing circuit is set to have a higher value than the gate threshold voltage V GE(th)M  in a main IGBT cell constituting a main circuit, a finite time At is required from when the gate voltage V GE  reaches the gate threshold voltage V GE(th)M  until when it reaches the gate threshold voltage V GE(th)S  in the turn-on period. Accordingly, the rise of the main current Is of the sensing circuit is delayed from the main current 1m of the main circuit. As a result, surge current does not appear in the current Is. As the surge current does not appear in the main current of the sensing circuit, a protection circuit of the device operates stably, and breakdown of the device is surely prevented.
