  • Patent number: 7774700
    Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided for partial evaluation of XML queries for program analysis. An executable version of a first body of instructions that conforms to an XML computer language, such as XSLT, is generated. The executable version may include trace instructions for collecting information about executing the executable version against representative data, such as an XML schema document. This execution causes the generation of an execution graph, which may be optimized by the collected information. Based on the execution graph, a second body of instructions is generated that conforms to a different computer language, such as XQuery. Subsequently, the second body of instructions may be applied against XML documents that conform to the same schema as the representative data. By generating the second body of instructions before source XML documents are received, several optimizations may be made that greatly decrease the time for querying and/or transforming XML documents.

  • Patent number: 7707488
    Abstract: Various technologies and techniques detect tables in vector graphics based documents and use them in meaningful ways. The system detects at least one table in a vector graphics based document using a set of rules. The rules include analyzing a set of content representing horizontal and vertical lines to find intersections and identifying table cells based on the intersections. Once identified, the table content is translated into a modified format. The content can be output to a destination application in the modified format that is more suitable for output or use by the destination application.

  • Patent number: 7681115
    Abstract: A text editing and reproduction apparatus capable of maintaining the continuity of text data display and performing high-quality content reproduction. An ornament time information addition section adds ornament elapsed time which indicates elapsed time for ornament display of a text sample and which is display start time for a first text sample to the first text sample, and adds ornament elapsed time which indicates elapsed time for ornament display of the text sample and which is display start time for a second text sample to the second text sample. A text data reproduction process section performs a reproduction process while maintaining continuity between the first text sample and the second text sample by reproducing and displaying the first text sample from the ornament elapsed time to time when the text sample is separated and by reproducing and displaying the second text sample from the ornament elapsed time.
