Abstract: A radiographic image processing apparatus comprises: an input means for inputting a corresponding point and a corresponding direction with respect to each of plural radiographic images respectively having mutually overlapping areas; a parallel shift means for parallel shifting at least any one of the plural radiographic images so that the corresponding points of these images coincide with others; a rotational shift means for rotationally shifting at least any one of the plural radiographic images so that the corresponding directions of these images coincide with others; and an image synthesis means for synthesizing the plural radiographic images by using the radiographic image shifted by the parallel shift means and the rotational shift means. Thus, it is possible to easily and surely connect plural radiographic images with others by appropriately performing parallel and rotational shifts of these images.

Abstract: Information identifying an operator remotely controlling a camera can be obtained. By using voice as means for reporting the information, it is possible to achieve reporting that is ideal for a user interface. Specifically, a client (116) is connected to a camera server (101) via a network and is receiving a video service obtained from a camera unit (102). When an individual on the side of the camera server (101) issues a request for the purpose of identifying the client, e.g., an inquiry as to who is controlling the camera, by voice, the voice is recognized. In response, information (the user name) identifying a connected client or the client controlling the camera is obtained by voice from a speaker (112).

Abstract: The magnification of an image is set. The distance between the positions of two designated points on the image is measured. On the basis of the set magnification set and a measurement value, an actual measurement value on the object corresponding to the measurement value of the distance between the positions of the two designated points on the image is calculated. The set magnification, the measurement value, and the calculated actual measurement value are simultaneously displayed.

Abstract: Modality information indicating various functions of a multimodal document reception processing apparatus is transmitted to a multimodal document transmission apparatus, and a multimodal document, which is generated by the multimodal document transmission apparatus based on the modality information is received. A speech synthesis unit synthesizes speech of text data to be output as speech in the multimodal document, and a speech output unit outputs the synthesized output speech. A GUT display unit displays text data to be displayed in the multimodal document.

Abstract: Input form information associated with an input form is stored in a form name holding unit. Input speech is recognized by a speech recognition unit, and input form information corresponding to that speech recognition result is selected. The display pattern of an input form corresponding to the selected input form information is controlled by a GUI display unit.

Abstract: An image management system, image management method and program are provided that can favorably manage images for displaying images that underwent optimization processing or images for creating and displaying difference images in which the generation of artifacts is suppressed. An image from image generator 100 is input to server 109 and stored in storage device 105. The system then determines whether an image including attendant information that is the same as that of the input image is already registered in the system. When such an image is not already registered, attendant information included in the input image is read out and newly registered in association with the input image. In contrast, when an image including attendant information that is the same as that of the input image is registered in the system and the attendant information is registered, information indicating the fact that the image was input is registered.

Abstract: An image processing device by which a user can operate a window level value without being conscious of a photometric interpretation of an image is provided. In the image processing device, the operation direction for increasing or decreasing the window level value is reversed according to the photometric interpretation of the input image, according to whether the window level operation direction is the right-and-left direction or the up-and-down direction, and according to whether or not to execute the grayscale inversion.

Abstract: A GUI display module displays a contents image based on contents data within a display area, and a display portion switching input module instructs to change the display portion of the contents image within the display area. Based on this instruction input, a display portion switching module changes the display portion of the contents image within the display area. A synthesis text determination module determines data which is to undergo speech synthesis in the contents data on the basis of display portion information which is held by a display portion holding module and indicates the display portion. A speech synthesis module synthesizes speech of the data which is to undergo speech synthesis, and a speech output module outputs the synthesized synthetic speech.

Abstract: Data including a description for displaying input columns and a description concerning speech recognition grammars for the input columns is read. By using speech recognition grammars corresponding to a plurality of input columns displayed on the basis of the data, speech recognition on the input speech is conducted. On the basis of the speech recognition grammars, input columns of input destinations of the speech recognition result are determined from a plurality of input columns and the input columns of input destinations are displayed in corresponding input columns.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a filler metal for an aluminum brazing sheet for heat exchangers capable of preventing or controlling occurrence of a melting hole during heating for brazing, and a method of manufacturing the same. In an Al—Si alloy filler metal which is clad on the aluminum brazing sheet and melted during heating for brazing, the maximum particle diameter of a coarse Si particle crystallized in the eutectic structure of the filler metal is 20 ?m or less. Provided that an average value and a standard deviation in a normal distribution of the particle diameter of the coarse Si particle in the filler metal are respectively ? and ?, (?+3?) is preferably 10 ?m or less. This brazing sheet is obtained by a method of adding a specific amount of Na, Sr, or Sb to the filler metal, a method of limiting the amount of impurities in the filler metal within a specific range, a method of specifying a cooling rate during the casting of the filler metal, or the like.

Abstract: A data communication unit (304) receives the resource information of an apparatus (101) from the apparatus (101). A voice synthesis execution determination unit (306) determines using the resource information of the apparatus (101) and the resource information of an apparatus (102) whether voice synthesis processing should be executed by the apparatus (101) or apparatus (102). When the voice synthesis execution determination unit (306) determines that the apparatus (102) should execute voice synthesis processing, a voice synthesizing unit (309) generates output voice data to read aloud a designated portion of a multimodal document. When the voice synthesis execution determination unit (306) determines that the apparatus (102) should execute voice synthesis processing, the data communication unit (304) transmits a voice synthesis result by the voice synthesizing unit (309) to the apparatus (101).
