Abstract: A translation assistance system according to one embodiment includes an acquisition unit and a determination unit. The acquisition unit acquires a target translated text obtained by translating a target source text into a target language, and acquires, as a correct word set, a set containing a reference word n-gram forming a reference text written in the target language and independent of the target source text. The determination unit calculates a degree of matching between one or more translated word n-grams forming the target translated text and the correct word set, and determines adequacy of the target translated text based on the degree of matching.

Abstract: A data transfer device having a data transmission side to receive an error detection signal transmitted thereto when an error is detected within data transmitted therefrom. It is decided whether to receive an error detection signal relating to the data transmitted therefrom and retransmission of the data is controlled depending upon the result of this determination. A data receiving side to detect an error in data transmitted thereto, to detect whether there is an error in the data received and, if there is an error in the data received, the data receiving side is capable of receiving data which generates an error detection signal depending upon the degree of the error. Therefore, when an error is detected from transfer data received, it will be possible to re-transfer the data using the address data for the transmission source.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for evaluating the security of authentication information that is extracted from a user. The disclosed authentication information security analysis techniques determine whether extracted authentication information can be obtained by an attacker. The extracted authentication information might be, for example, personal identification numbers (PINs), passwords and query based passwords (questions and answers). A disclosed authentication information security analysis process employs information extraction techniques to verify that the authentication information provided by a user is not easily obtained through an online search. The authentication information security analysis process measures the security of authentication information, such as query based passwords, provided by a user. Information extraction techniques are employed to find and report relations between the proposed password and certain user information that might make the proposed password vulnerable to attack.

Abstract: The present invention provides a system in which adjoining modules are connected with a bus so that unidirectional data transfer through modules each having a CPU and a shared memory can be realized, and in this system controls are provided so that data from adjoining modules and data form a CPU or a shared memory in the module is simultaneously transferred by a switch in the module according to a destination for transfer.

Abstract: There is provided an information processing device having information processing units between which data can be transferred via a bus provided therebetween. A data requested unit which is one of the information processing units sends an answering signal to a data requesting unit which is another one thereof. The information processing device includes an error detecting part for detecting an error in received data, an answering signal generating part for generating an error answering signal with respect to received data having an error and a normality answering signal with respect to received data having no error, and an information sending part for sending the error answering signal to the bus with priority over the normality answering signal.

Abstract: The main valve slides in the direction for its opening when the plunger is pushed in. This causes the nozzle hole and the main valve's operating bore to be communicated, which then causes the compressed gas in a pressure vessel to open the follower valve's check valve thus discharging the gas to the outside of the pressure vessel through the follower valve's communicating bore. When the pressure at the discharge side exceeds the pressure of the pressure vessel during such discharge, a back-flow pressure causes the follower valve to slide, thus closing the follower valve's operating bore and the communicating bore with the check valve. This closes the gas's passage and prevents its back-flow into the pressure vessel. When charging a high-pressure gas, any moisture which has penetrated into the nozzle hole and/or the main valve's operating bore can be blown off by discharging residual pressure in the pressure vessel.

Abstract: In an access processing system in an information processor, the information processor includes: an access device (10, 11) for generating an access request signal; an accessed device (13) provided with a memory means (30) that is accessed by the access device (10, 11); and an address bus (14) that has the access device and accessed device connected with the information processor at least by the address bus (14).The access processing system is processed such that, if an access request is produced, when the access request signal does not require all bits in the address bus (14), an unused bit in the address bus (14) is loaded with write data to deliver it to the accessed device (13).

Abstract: In a clock control circuit for suppressing a clock pulse in a plurality of devices which operate in synchronization with each other, the clock control circuit detects first and second clock suppress conditions, generates a first clock suppress signal in all the devices based on the detection of the first clock suppress condition, generates a second clock suppress signal in a particular device based on the detection of the first or second clock suppress conditions, transmits the clock suppress signals to all the devices, and suppresses the clock pulse in all the devices based on the first and second clock suppress signals. The second clock suppress signal suppresses the clock pulse after it is suppressed by the first clock suppress signal, and continues to suppress the clock pulse until a suppression release signal is received.

Abstract: A soft synthetic resin, such as polyurethane, body is molded onto a metallic steering wheel frame except for a part thereof intended for installation of the steering wheel onto a column shaft and a soft burr formed on the resultant covered steering wheel along the parting line of the mold is removed by refrigerating the steering wheel to make the burr hard and fragile and then removing the burr by shot blast treatment, whereafter the steering wheel is heat dried to eliminate water from the atmosphere condensing on the exposed metallic installation part of the steering wheel and prevent resulting corrosion of that part.
