  • Patent number: 5487000
    Abstract: In a syntactic analysis apparatus, when a syntax analyzing section fails in a syntactic analysis of an input sentence due to a syntactic error included in the input sentence and thus is unable to generate a syntactic tree of the input sentence, an error analyzing section receives syntactic subtrees of the input sentence obtained by the syntax analyzing section up to such failure and applies a given error analyzing rule to the received syntactic subtrees so as to identify the included syntactic error. The input sentence is corrected based on the identification of the syntactic error so as to be sent to the syntax analyzing section. The syntax analyzing section performs the syntactic analysis of the corrected input sentence and generates a syntactic tree of the corrected input sentence.

  • Patent number: 4000264
    Abstract: This invention relates to a new and improved recovery method of chemicals from waste liquor of pulping or bleaching. More particularly, this invention relates to a method for direct recovery of sodium hydroxide from waste liquor of pulping or bleaching which is substantially free from sulfur compounds. Ferric oxide is admixed with concentrated waste liquor and thereafter the admixture is burned to form a smelt. By submerging the smelt in hot water a solution of sodium hydroxide and a ferric oxide precipitate are obtained. The precipitated ferric oxide can be reused in the mixing step.
