Abstract: In this invention, in an optical disk (1) on which data is to be recorded in units of one ECC block constructed by 16 sectors, dummy data is recorded at the manufacturing time or at the initial time such as the application starting time, then the dummy data is reproduced to determine a sector with primary defect, the address of the sector which is determined to have the primary defect is recorded on the optical disk (1), and at the time of data recording, data recording is effected in units of one ECC block while skipping over the sector with the primary defect. The determining condition for the primary defect is a case where address data of the address field cannot be reproduced, or where the number of rows in which the number of error bytes is four or more is five or more. Further, in the optical disk (1) on which data is to be recorded in units of one ECC block, data is recorded at the time of data recording other than the initial time, then the data is reproduced to determine an ECC block having a sector with secondary defect, and data of the ECC block which is determined to have the sector with secondary defect is recorded in an ECC block which is separately prepared. The determining condition for the secondary defect is a case where address data of the address field cannot be reproduced (first condition), where the number of rows in which the number of error bytes is four or more is five or more (second condition), where the number of rows in which the number of error bytes is four or more is not larger than five, the number of rows in which the number of error bytes is four or more is three or more and the number of rows in which the number of error bytes in one block area is four or more is ten or more, or where at least two sector areas in which the number of rows in which the number of error bytes is four or more is five or less and the number of rows in which the number of error bytes is four or more is three or more are present in one block area.

reception of this print completion notice, the server
instructs the client to delete the print data. In a
print system on a network configured as above, the
network traffic is not increased, a large memory
capacity is not necessary for the server so that the
server load is reduced, the job management of the
server can be performed by the client, the completion
of a print operation can be monitored, and a print

Abstract: A method of encoding images (1) including areas (11) of relevant pixels and areas (12) of irrelevant pixels (e.g. a background) is disclosed. The pixels of the irrelevant area are replaced (4) by pseudo-pixels smoothing the transition between said areas. The image thus obtained is subsequently subjected to conventional image coding (5) which now yields considerably fewer bits. At the receiver end, the pseudo-pixels are replaced (9) by predetermined background pixels to reconstruct the original boundaries (13). If the boundary between both areas is not known in advance, the boundary is detected (2), encoded (3) and transmitted to the receiver. The invention is particularly applicable to compression of medical images having circular areas of interest, but may also be used to encode other video images having irrelevant areas such as videophone images in which a head-and-shoulder area constitutes relevant information only.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of integration of
applications said applications being executed by computer
systems. In an additional focus the current invention improves
the integration of applications within workflow management
systems (WFMS). 
     The basic approach of the current invention to this problem
are the features of input container materialization programs
and output container dematerialization programs. These
materialization programs are executed for an input container
before said input container is passed to a process activity;
their purpose is to perform materialization of said input
container by retrieving its data members' contents from
arbitrary storage areas and/or by manipulating said data-member's
contents. The de-materialization programs are
executed after a process activity completed execution; their
purpose is to perform de-materialization of said output
container by manipulating its data-members' contents and/or
storing its data members' contents to arbitrary storage areas.
This technique supports a clear separation of the business
logic implemented within the activities and their operational
data. For instance reduced data replication and reduced
program changes for application integration is the result.
Moreover intelligibility of the program design is
significantly improved.
