Abstract: Provided is a text processing system which, when an attribute corresponding to one tabulation axis is set, is capable of generating a text group which will produce non-obvious tabulation results when cross-tabulation is performed using that attribute. At the time of input of respective attribute values of an attribute which corresponds to a tabulation axis in cross tabulation and a document associated with any one of the attribute values of the attribute, text extraction means 71 extracts portion not including the attribute value of the attribute from each text obtained by dividing the document into predetermined units. Group generation means 72 performs entailment recognition between texts on the extracted texts and groups texts having an entailment relation.

Abstract: Provided is a text processing system capable of classifying a plurality of texts into groups whose overviews are able to be grasped and classifying texts semantically having entailment relation into the same group even if the texts are not determined to have the entailment relation. Entailment recognition means 71 performs entailment recognition between texts on given texts. Group generation means 72 selects an individual text and generates a group including texts entailing the selected text as members. Group integration means 73 integrates groups in the case where groups satisfy a predetermined condition based on the degree of overlap of members between groups.

Abstract: When waiting for printing, a cam that rotates together with the rotation of a gear locks a knurl at position on the upstream side in the sheet conveyance direction, which prevents sheets from dropping down. Moreover, during printing, when the cam is rotated 180° from the locked position, the knurl is in a state capable of sliding toward the downstream side. As a result, with the force that returns the knurl to the upstream side being too small, it is possible to prevent feeding overlapping sheet due to the front end of a sheet further on the down side than a sheet being fed from dropping toward the downstream side further than the knurl.
