Abstract: A data processing system for processing the voting of partial stock interests via equity components comprising computer means for calculating and storing component factors for equity component interests and vote component factors corresponding to each of said component factors, wherein each said vote component factor is indicative of the right to receive a partial vote attributed to each of said equity component factors, wherein said equity component factors are at least two of: (i) a component interest indicative of the right to receive a partial share of stock equal in value to a stipulated price or a fall share of stock of the company on a predetermined future date, whichever is the lesser value; (ii) a component interest indicative of the right to receive a partial share of stock equal in value to the appreciation, if any, of the share of stock above the stipulated price on the predetermined date; and (iii) a component interest indicative of the right to receive substitute payments equal in amount to divi

Abstract: In a machine translation system, a default translation flag for indicating a default equivalent word is set in a dictionary in a memory. A normal equivalent-word selector of a translation module executes semantic analysis on a case structure tree determined by a dictionary-lookup morpheme analyzing part, a syntax analyzer, and a tree structure transforming unit. If the case structure tree has failed in the semantic analysis, a special equivalent-word selector executes a default translation processing to adopt the default equivalent word indicated by the default translation as an optimum equivalent word such that the case structure tree is passed. Thus, even if the case structure tree has failed in the semantic analysis due to strict semantic restrictions, a translation can be securely generated. Further, if the case structure tree has not failed in the semantic analysis, a high-accuracy translation can be generated.
