Abstract: A print image generating program is capable of printing information that discourages fraudulent distribution of printed documents, irrespective of the type of printer. A print image generating apparatus has an application, a printer driver, a print management unit, and a virtual driver, and is designed to add tracking information that discourages distribution of printed documents when print data is printed. The print management unit monitors print requests from the application. When detecting a print request which was output from the application to the printer driver, the print management unit acquires and interrupts the print request destined for the printer driver. When the virtual driver receives a command from the print management unit, it acquires print data and tracking information, and generates tracking print image data by adding the tracking information to the print data, and gives the generated data to the printer driver.

Abstract: An illegal-parking-management portable terminal includes a storage unit, an extracting unit, and a selecting unit. The storage unit stores therein facility information on a facility relevant to illegal parking and an illegal-parking application rule that defines illegal-parking condition for each penalty article. The extracting unit extracts, from the facility information, information on a facility within a predetermined range from a position specified as a vehicle parking position on a map displayed on a display unit. The selecting unit compares the extracted information with the illegal-parking application rule, and selects a penalty article to be applied to illegal parking of a vehicle.

Abstract: A power supply circuit for supplying power to a load includes an antenna which receives electric power, a rectifier coupled to the antenna and configured to convert an alternating voltage supplied from the antenna into a direct-current voltage, a voltage step-down circuit which steps down the direct-current voltage to generate an output voltage for provision to the load, a regulator which controls a resistance connected between the output voltage and a ground voltage in parallel with the load, thereby controlling a voltage level of the output voltage.

Abstract: This invention provides a trade system of contribution articles, which enables information gathered by many people to be efficiently used in the mass media such as a newspaper or a magazine. First, the contributor photographs an image of an accident or the like using a contributor terminal 7. Besides, position verification information of the accident locale is acquired from a position verification authentication server 3. Then, the image information of the accident or the like and the position verification information are registered into a contribution market server 13 by the contribution terminal 7. A person in charge at the mass medium operates a mass medium terminal 11 to access to the contribution market server 13, and finds out articles for which purchase priority is to be acquired.

Abstract: A function restricting program capable of effecting minute security setting is disclosed. Based a security policy containing inhibited process designating information defined as information for designating some processes of which executions are not permitted with respect to one or more caption character strings, the program makes the computer operate as a device that does not execute respective processes of which executions are not permitted by inhibited process designating information contained in security policy information with respect to a caption character string coincident with a title character string of the function restricting target window in a case where the function restricting target window of which the title character string is coincident with any one of caption character strings in the security policy information, is displayed on the display device.

Abstract: An IC card is provided with a nonvolatile data area in which data can be read and written, a nonvolatile key data area into which data can be written but cannot be read, and a nonvolatile key register into which data can be written but cannot be read. Writing predetermined data, which are not encrypted but need to be kept secret, into the data area and key data into the key data area, inhibits reading and writing data in the data area. Reading or writing in the data area is authorized only if proper key data are written into the key register, and inhibited if improper key data are written into the key register.

Abstract: A digital audio reproducing apparatus including a receiver receiving modulated data, a demodulator demodulating the modulated data received by the receiver, an audio decoder decoding, in a unit of a frame, digital audio information contained in the modulated data demodulated by the demodulator, and an audibility corrector for effecting audibility correction on failing digital audio information contained in a frame that failed to be decoded, when the audio decoder fails to decode the digital audio information.

Abstract: A conductor is represented by a line. A plane on which the conductor crosses a plurality of sides in the planes forming a cell is divided by the conductor. In the planes obtained by the division, a plane containing the position in which the magnetic field intensity is obtained is processed as one plane as is, and a plane not containing the position is added to an adjacent plane. On the side crossing the conductor, the two values of the field intensity are defined. That is, the magnetic field intensity is obtained through the integral loop containing the conductor for each of the divided plane processed as one plane, and the plane to which the divided plane not processed as one plane is added.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a data processing system in a hierarchical network configuration for executing applicable data processes in a comprehensible and executable form. An object of the present invention is to allow data processing capabilities to be established with high precision in a short time based on a fuzzy-neuro-integrated concept. A fuzzy model is generated by a data processing system in the form of membership functions and fuzzy rules as technical information relating to a control target. According to this fuzzy model, a weight value of the connection between neurons is set and a pre-wired neural network is established. Then, the data of the control target are learned by the neural network. The connection state and a weight value of the neural network after the learning enable tuning of the fuzzy model.
