Abstract: A video data searching method and system and a
video data editing method and system suitable for
searching and editing of video data are disclosed. In
order to search video data which are contents recorded in
a video database, attendant information recorded
incidentally to the video data is utilized as information
representative of the contents, and if an attendant
information search condition is given as a given
condition, then an attendant information readout section
reads in the attendant information from the video
database, and an attendant information search section
searches the attendant information based on the search
condition to determine a pertaining attendant information.
Thus, video data which make an object can be specified
only from the attendant information without opening the
video data. Then, a video data searching section fetches
pertaining video data from the video database based on
the attendant information.

Abstract: Systems and methods for verifying relevance between terms and Web site contents are described. In one aspect, site contents from a bid URL are retrieved. Expanded term(s) semantically and/or contextually related to bid term(s) are calculated. Content similarity and expanded similarity measurements are calculated from respective combinations of the bid term(s), the site contents, and the expanded terms. Category similarity measurements between the expanded terms and the site contents are determined in view of a trained similarity classifier. The trained similarity classifier having been trained from mined web site content associated with directory data. A confidence value providing an objective measure of relevance between the bid term(s) and the site contents is determined from the content, expanded, and category similarity measurements evaluating the multiple similarity scores in view of a trained relevance classifier model.

Abstract: An electron emitting apparatus (10) includes a lower electrode (12), an emitter section (13) made of a dielectric material, a plurality of upper electrodes (14) having micro through holes, and a collector electrode (18) opposing the upper electrodes. In this electron-emitting apparatus (10), electrons are accumulated in the emitter section (13) by controlling the potential difference (drive voltage) between the lower (12) and upper (14) electrodes with respect to the potential of the lower electrode (12) to a negative predetermined voltage. At this time, the collector electrode (18) of the electron-emitting apparatus (10) is grounded. Thus, unnecessary electron-emitting is suppressed. Subsequently, the drive voltage is changed to a positive predetermined voltage. As a result, polarization reversal occurs in the emitter section (13), and accumulated electros are emitted through the micro through holes in the upper electrodes (14) by Coulomb repulsion. At this time, a positive voltage Vc is applied to the collector electrode (18) to give large energy to accelerate the electrons.

Abstract: A cellular phone (100) registers incoming call histories in which other party telephone numbers are correlated to own telephone numbers which received a call in an incoming call history accommodation section (14b). It is judged whether or not the other party telephone number to which a call is made is the other party telephone number from which a call was received previously with reference to the incoming call histories when transmitting a call. If the other party telephone number is an other party telephone number which was received previously, the own telephone number which was used at that time is extracted from the incoming call histories and a call transmission is made. Accordingly, this enables preventing the error in using different plurality of own telephone numbers.

Abstract: A vector block information indicating a plurality of line segment rows is read out from a block map. Each line segment row divides an area of a block from an area of a road in an image drawing region. Each point at which one end of a line segment row contacts with a boundary line of the image drawing region is set as a boundary point. In this case, a road crossing the boundary line of the image drawing region is indicated by a pair of line segment rows having a pair of boundary points close to each other. To determine an area of the road, the pair of boundary points are connected with each other through a connecting line segment. Therefore, a road area in the image drawing region can be automatically extracted from the block map. In addition, an end area of the road placed at the boundary line of the image drawing region is reshaped to have two right-angle corners at the end area of the road, a length of a road area at the boundary line of the image drawing region is shortened, an area of a narrow road is deleted from the road area, an area of a narrow road is widened, or a plurality of blocks placed in an administrative district is unified by deleting areas of a plurality of roads dividing the blocks.
