  • Publication number: 20040205505
    Abstract: A display page processing device includes at least one input device, a processor, and a memory. The memory includes a display pages storage area, a most-recently-visited pages storage area, a most-likely-to-be-visited pages storage area, and a number-of-pages-to-be-loaded variable storage area. The processor uses a most-recently-visited pages information from the most-recently-visited pages storage area, a most-likely-to-be-visited pages information from the most-likely-to-be-visited pages storage area, and a number-of-pages-to-be-loaded variable from the number-of-pages-to-be-loaded variable storage area in order to fetch and/or store two or more display pages to the display pages storage area.

  • Publication number: 20030161007
    Abstract: A system and method of removing background noise from a digital image of a scanned document is described. The system and method is a reversible background noise removal technique that allows a user to select whether background noise is removed or not. In addition, since the present invention divides the background noise removal operations into a two phase process, the overall efficiency of the system and method are significantly improved.

  • Patent number: 6117187
    Abstract: A method of automatically generating a software installation package. The method operates on an application program that has been ported to and debugged on a target computer system. A manifest is automatically generated, listing all application program files that must be installed on the target computer system. Then the method automatically determines which resources, in particular shared libraries, are needed by any of the listed files. Necessary filesets and subproducts are then automatically generated. Program files are then automatically assigned to the filesets and filesets are automatically assigned to the subproducts. The need for control scripts is automatically detected and control scripts are automatically generated. Then the installation package is generated by combining the listed files, filesets, subproducts, control scripts, the needed resources, and any related installation materials.

  • Patent number: 6094665
    Abstract: A computer program which causes a computer to correct a uniform resource identifier (URI) in a noisy source document. The program finds and corrects potential errors within a URI before turning the URI into a hyperlink. Testing the corrected URI is done by seeking the resource described by the corrected URI. Testing the URI also includes parsing the URI, identifying potential syntax errors within each portion of the URI, creating alternative URI combinations, and prioritizing the alternative URI combinations. Syntax errors corrected include incorrect protocol, incorrect or missing component separator characters, incorrect spacing, incorrect or missing dot character, and alphanumeric character replacement.
