Title: Disk medium managing method
Inventor: IWANO YURI
IPC: G11B27/32
Filed: 2000-06-09
Granted: 2008-07-29
Abstract: Areas are hierarchically ensured as directories for data to be recorded in advance. Therefore directories and files are continuously arranged as much as possible on a disk, and the number of seeks during data read, which is conventionally large because other data is mixed in the same area, is decreased as few as possible. When the files and directories belonging to directory 1 (DIR1) and directory 2 (DIR2) are recorded on a disk and when the files and directories belonging to directory 1 (DIR1) are recorded in an area- ensuring mode, an area on a disk for the files and directories belonging to the directory 1 (DIR1) is ensured previously. The positions where lower-order Files 1, 2 and directories of the directory 1 (DIR1) are recorded in an area concerning the directory 1 (DIR1) as in the case of File 1-1, File 1-2, and File 12. File 3 of the directory 2 (DIR2) is not recorded in continuous areas for the directory 1 (DIR2).

Abstract: A method and system for generating a user interface for controlling software components through a user control point device. The user interface system provides multiple software components that each can provide a user interface component. Each user interface component provides a user interface for the corresponding software component. A user control point component requests each software component to provide its user interface component. The user control point component then displays an indication of each software component. In response to the selection of a software component, the user control point component requests the user interface component for that software component to display its user interface through the control point device. When a user interacts with that user interface, the user interface component notifies the corresponding software component of the interaction.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for processing mail in an automated address recognition system in which a multi-level grey image containing the address information is formed from the surface of each mail and the multi-level grey image is transformed into a first binary image. However, in existing binarization algorithms, recognition problems are encountered due to binarization. The objective of the invention is an improved recognition rate. For this purpose, in this process, the multi-level grey image is transformed again into a second binary image using a binarization algorithm, taking into account a signature extracted from the multi-level grey image, the binary image and the result of the first automated evaluation of the address information. The second binary image undergoes a second automated evaluation and the results of the automated evaluation are combined to obtain the address information.
