Abstract: Online support is given for operation of a device. First, a client
system equipped with the device is connected to a user support server
that gives online support for operation of the device. Next, the client
system transmits device information for which the device model can be
specified and use environment information indicative of an operation
environment of the device to the user support server system. Finally,
using the information transmitted to the user support server system, the
device support information for supporting operation of the device that the
client system has is generated, and the device support information is
transmitted to the client system.

Abstract: A display system uses so called rapid sequential visual presentation
(RSVP) in which words are presented one after another in time, in a window
for reading by a user. To provide context information, a thumbnail view of the
document page or the section of text is also generated, and is used to indicate
the location in the section of text of the word currently displayed in the RSVP
window. In one example, an indicator is generated within the thumbnail view
to show the position, and the indicator is moved automatically as the RSVP
sequence advances. In another example, the thumbnail view is positioned in
a background display pane behind the RSVP window, and the thumbnail view
is moved relative to the RSVP window to indicate the current position in the
text.

Title: Image processing apparatus
Inventor: IWASAKI OSAMU
IPC: G03G21/04
Filed: 2001-01-29
Abstract: A computer generates a print ID based on input
image data on which a forgery preventing process is
performed, and transfers the print ID to a printer. 
The printer generates a common key corresponding to the
print ID, and transfers it to the computer. The
computer encrypts the image data using a common key,
represents it as a print control command, and transfers
the data with the print ID to the printer. The printer
analyzes the command of the print control data,
extracts the encrypted print image data, decrypts the
data using the common key, and stores the decrypted
print image data in a storage medium, thereby
preventing the data from being printed on a number of
unspecified printers.

Abstract: A manufacturing method for rhomboid assemblies cuts stacks of glass plates that are
glued together with coatings between the glass plates. The cuts are at an angle such as 45°
and surfaces resulting from the cuts are finished to optical tolerances. These optical surfaces
permit attachment of rhomboid assemblies directly to optical elements such as a polarizing
beam-splitter (PBS) in a multi-axis interferometer. Further, elements such as quarter-wave
plates, cube comer reflectors, and rhomboid elements that extend the separation of
measurement beams can be attached to the PBS to provide integrated beam optics that are
compact and thermally stable. Placing a reflective coating or other reference reflector on a
quarter-wave plate for the reference beam can keep the entire beam path for the reference
beam within the integrated structure. When rhomboid elements extend the separation
between measurement beams, an extension to the PBS can match the optical path lengths of
reference and measurement beams.

to a similar processing to a conventional case in a signal
processing portion which is used in a conventional CRT display.
A light source chromaticity conversion processing portion
carries out a γ correction to the signal inputted from the signal
processing portion in a γ operation portion by using γ1 = γcrt
of the same nonlinear characteristics as the CRT, and further
carries out an operation of a chromaticity conversion matrix
in a matrix operation portion.AnLCD inverse γ correction portion
uses γ2 establishing γ_1cd = γ1cd/γ2 = 1 to carry out an inverse
γ correction to the inputted signal. An LCD γ characteristic
operation portion carries out a γ correction using γ
characteristics of an LCD to the signal inputted from the LCD
inverse γ correction portion, outputs a picture signal of a
luminance level (X, Y, Z), and causes an image to be displayed
on the not-shown LCD.
