Abstract: Ultrasonic flaw detection uses a phased-array ultrasonic-flaw-detection probe. The flaw detection probe is placed such that the center of curvature of the flaw detection probe coincides with a reference center of curvature of a subject. The flaw detection probe is translated along a scan direction. The flaw detection probe emits an ultrasonic beam such that the position upon which the ultrasonic beam converges coincides with the center of curvature of the curve of the outline of the cross section of the subject at the scan position, receives the resulting reflected beam, and estimates the length of a flaw in the circumferential direction of the subject. In addition, the estimated length of the flaw is corrected using a correction coefficient corresponding to the distance between the center of curvature of the reference scan position and the center of curvature of the scan position in the thickness direction of the subject.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a method of generating reference genome data includes: determining, based on a plurality of base sequence data of different subjects, base information relating to at least one position in a base sequence according to a frequency of appearance of each of a plurality of base information at the position. The method further includes generating reference genome data to associate the determined base information with the position.

Abstract: In this invention, data elements to be used for analysis can easily be changed. A recording medium of this invention includes a program code that records in a database dictionary information which is used for processing of determining whether a predetermined data element is contained in data to be analyzed and links a data element and category information representing at least one category to which the data element belongs, a program code that receives a designation of the category, and a program code that extracts a data element linked to category information representing the designated category by referring to the database and sets the extracted data element as the predetermined data element to be used for determination in the processing.

Abstract: With the present invention, a computer system that deals with a large amount of document data can easily grasp significant information. A computer program product of the present invention refers to term definition dictionary data including summary elements defined as elements to be extracted in order to be included in a summary, extracts the summary elements included in a document data to be analyzed, combines the extracted summary elements in accordance with a predetermined rule and generates summary information of the document data to be analyzed, and links the document data to be analyzed with the summary information.

Abstract: Of data for analysis of phenomena such as POS analysis data and data of analysis of causes such as question & answer survey result associated with a state in which the data for analysis of phenomena has been acquired, data specified by an initial output specification is output. Then, when a user inputs an associated data output specification, data associated with output data, of the data for analysis of phenomena and data for analysis of causes, is output.

Abstract: The worker enters information regarding allocation objects, necessary to build a client-server system, from the problem input means 10. The worker also specifies in advance, through the characteristic input means 11, the characteristic the allocation result should have. The worker enters information necessary to get an effective allocation from the supplementary information input means 12. When the allocation means 13 receives information from the problem input means 10, characteristic input means 11, and supplementary information input means 12, it searches for an effective allocation result. The allocation means 13 then outputs the result to the allocation result output means 16, and the worker judges the result using the judgment result input means 15. The final allocation result output means 16 outputs the allocation result which is judged as the final allocation.
