Patent number: 8655641Abstract: A technical term dictionary stores terms of a first language and each translated term of a second language. A translation memory stores source sentences of the first language and each target sentence of the second language. A translation unit translates a text of the first language into an output text of the second language by the technical term dictionary and the translation memory. A corresponding translation pair extraction unit extracts, from a source sentence matched with a sentence of the text and a target sentence corresponding to the source sentence stored in the translation memory, a corresponding translation pair comprising a word in the source sentence and a translated word corresponding to the word in the target sentence. An unmatch check unit checks whether the translated word does not match with a translated term corresponding to the word in the output text.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2011Date of Patent: February 18, 2014Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventor: Akira Kumano

Patent number: 5808827Abstract: A tape loading mechanism can reduce a load imposed upon a tape by removing conventional inclined guides and reduce the number of assemblies necessary for forming a tape transport system. The tape transport system of the tape loading mechanism is composed of four guide members of a tension regulator guide (9) for supporting a tape unreeled from a supply reel (1), a guide post (12) having a shuttle for guiding the tape into the entrance side of a rotary drum (14), a guide post (13) having a shuttle for guiding the tape into the exit side of the rotary drum (14), and an exit guide (21) for guiding the tape into a take-up reel (3). The tension regulator guide (9) and the exit guide (21) are formed as inclined guides having flanges in order to twist the tape supported by the respective guides so that a tape transport direction and a tape height direction can be varied. Thus, the inclined guide member with the shuttle can be removed.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 1995Date of Patent: September 15, 1998Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Akira Kumano, Tsukasa Sasabe
