Abstract:
A computer system includes a security subsystem which is able to trustfully track which files or storage areas of a storage device have been altered since a last virus scan. The trusted information can then be used to accelerate scans for undesirable code or data such as viruses and invalid or corrupt registry entries. In the case of viruses, files or storage areas which have been altered are scanned against a super-set of virus definitions. Unaltered files or storage areas are scanned against a subset of virus definitions.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce a necessary desktop space by connecting one of both end parts of a multi-conductor cable to a media console with the other end part connected to a system unit respectively. SOLUTION: A computer 10 includes a media console 16 which is connected to a system unit/processor 18 via a multi-conductor flexible cable 20. The console 16 includes a floppy disk drive 22, a CD-ROM drive 24, a power ON/OFF switch 26, a status indicator 28 and an input device port and can be set on a desk placed near a monitor 12. The system unit 18 contains all bulky component elements which produce the sounds with high power and has no need to have a dialog with its user and can be set under the desk. Then a drive bay housing 30 containing both drives 22 and 24 moves between its opened and closed positions.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and system for adaptive endurance coding of non-volatile memories. SOLUTION: Adaptive endurance coding includes a method for storing data that includes receiving write data and a write address. A compression algorithm is applied to the write data to generate compressed data. An endurance code is applied to the compressed data to generate a codeword. The endurance code is selected and applied according to the amount of space saved by applying the compression to the write data. The codeword is written to the write address.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide technology for realizing sharing of the insufficiently used resources of a workstation of a computer network by using the known grid computation standard while maintaining the integrity parameters and performance parameters of individual workstations regarding their interactive workloads. SOLUTION: In a network of the workstations which realizes a grid for sharing workstation resources while maintaining the workloads of local workstations, grid workloads are allocated to the workstations according to the degrees of use in the local workloads. The CPU use rate is monitored by each workstation and the grid workloads are accepted only when they do not affect the interactive performance of the workstations and they can be processed conforming to the user setting of the workstations. In addition, the grid workloads are classified by the degrees of coupling of workstation resources and this classification is used as further input in a grid workload allocation process.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a portable computer device of which the height and the angle of a display part can be adjusted even the rear space of an installation place is restricted. SOLUTION: With respect to a note type PC 10, a hinge 36 which makes an LCD unit 24 turnable around an axial line of turning which is orthogonal to the vertical direction of the LCD unit 24 is provided approximately in the middle position in the vertical direction of the LCD unit 24 arranged on a cover body 16. The hinge 36 is attached to a slide plate 30 and can be moved in the vertical direction relative to a frame 18 of the cover body 16 and is arranged in a position higher than the frame 18. Thus the height and angle of the LCD unit 24 can be adjusted though restrictions are placed on the rear space of the place where the note type PC 10 is installed, and it is so set that the display picture can be easily seen.
Abstract:
A transfer device especially suitable for transferring a minute electronic component part from a first location and position to a second location and position, the component part having critical facet sides of high integrity and at least one non-critical side, is disclosed. The transfer device comprises an non- destructive engaging means, a control means, and a decoupling means, whereby the integrity of the essential facet sides of the component part is maintained.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a personal communicator equipped with both an audio function and a display function. SOLUTION: The personal communicator includes: a wireless handset phone; a virtual image display coupled to the wireless handset phone; and a pointing device for pointing on the virtual image display. The communicator may also include a limited-function computer. The virtual image display uses optics to create a virtual image. The pointing device may include a virtual selector; that is, an array of sensors or switches to accommodate different user's hands. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a notebook computer with an extended keyboard base and a widened display. SOLUTION: An extended keyboard base region 108 adjacent to a keyboard 101 has a recessed area 105 which contains a universal input and output connector 104. The recessed area is designed to fit a set of input and output devices 106 designed electrically connect to the universal input and output connector. When the input and output device is plugged into the universal input and output connector, it may be automatically sensed by a circuity internal to the notebook computer, and software drivers for making the specific input and output device available are loaded. The widened display gives additional display capability wherein a plurality of pages of a document may be placed side by side for editing or viewing. Also, a numeric keypad and a track pad/digitizer are included in the input and output device.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a flexible interface function and portability of a portable computer device. SOLUTION: The portable computer device capable of flexibly interfacing includes a display device 202 which is connected to a processor, which is connected or selectively connected to a keyboard 20K or/and a recording unit; and the display device 202 and keyboard 204 provide a 1st user interface for the processor. A recording unit is put over a detachable markable surface, so a user gives a mark on the markable surface with a stylus 152. The stylus 152 provides a stroke signal and a stroke mark. The recording unit, markable surface, and stylus 152 provides a 2nd user interface for the processor and the display device optionally contributes to the provision of the 2nd user interface for the processor.
