PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To achieve reduced office power consumption by, when the number of active user computers in the vicinity of the network printer is large, setting the network printer in a standby state and, when that number is small, powering off the network printer. SOLUTION: A method for managing a first unit and one or more other units connected to the first unit over a network is provided. The method includes (i) detecting, by a management unit, the operating state of the other units positioned within a specific range from the first unit on the basis of the location of each of the first and other units over the network, the operating state including at least an operating state at which a service request is capable of being transmitted to the first unit. The method further includes (ii) transmitting, by the management unit, to the first unit, an instruction to change an operating state of the first unit depending on a number of the other units being in the detected operating state at which the service request is capable of being transmitted.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide insertion of content into media streams. SOLUTION: A media stream is monitored by a media server computer, the monitored media stream having at least one marker designating an associated insertion position within the media stream. A marker is selected to insert personalized social-awareness based content into the media stream. Social awareness information associated with a target of the monitored media stream is identified. The social awareness information is utilized to select personalized social-awareness based content. The personalized social-awareness based content is inserted into the monitored media stream at the corresponding insertion position associated with the selected marker to transform the media stream.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method, a program and a system for supporting input of an execution parameter of prescribed software to an input field. SOLUTION: The method includes steps of: receiving input of a text character string including one or more execution parameters to the input field displayed on a display device; displaying one or more execution options of the prescribed software on the display device such that a user can perform selection according to that part of the text character string is selected by the user; and converting the text character string such that it is indicated that at least one of the selected one or more execution options is included, and displaying it on the display device. The displayed one or more execution options can vary according to a type of the selection of the part of the text character string. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve the performance of an execution code by applying delay evaluation to imperative language having side effects such as Java (R) or PHP. SOLUTION: The compilation method includes: generating a dependence graph for data and side effects in the analysis of a source code; identifying a portion of the program able to be delayed based on a postdominator tree; generating a code for performing delay; profiling a location where the delay has been forced by a profiler during execution; in-lining a delay closure code determined to be forced with high frequency based on the profile into a location where the delay has been forced; generating a code by applying partial evaluation; and eliminating an intermediate data structure by the partial evaluation in the generated code.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a memory device used particularly for an associative memory, a method for operating the associative memory, and a system including the associative memory. SOLUTION: The memory device for storing one or a plurality of addresses includes a coincidence line and first and second memory cells forming a two-bit memory cell. Each memory cell includes two memory elements connected to the coincidence line, and a selection line connected there. The selection line provides a signal expression of logical combinations of at least two different inputs. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of assembling a bent circuit chip package, and a circuit chip package having a bent structure. SOLUTION: The circuit chip package includes: a substrate having a first coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE); a circuit chip having a second CTE and mounted onto the substrate; a metal foil disposed on the circuit chip in thermal contact with the chip; a metal lid having (i) a third CTE that is different from the first CTE and (ii) a bottom edge region, where the metal lid is disposed on the metal foil in thermal contact with the metal foil; and an adhesive layer along the bottom edge of the metal lid, cured at a first temperature, bonding the lid to the substrate, and producing an assembly which, at a second temperature, is transformed to a bent circuit chip package.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technology for visualizing the reading order of content. SOLUTION: A device for visualizing the reading order of the content includes an oriented segment creating unit which creates an oriented segment indicating, for each of a plurality of elements having character strings to be read, as a display position an element region for displaying the character strings on a screen, based on the character writing direction of the character strings; a storage means which stores the oriented segment of each created element in the reading order; and an overlay drawing unit which couples the created oriented segments for each element and displays, overlapping with a structured document displayed on the screen.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and apparatus for directing a packet sent from an arbitrary apparatus connected to a network to a predetermined authentication server without changing the configuration of a computer network. SOLUTION: A packet transmitted from a personal computer newly connected to the network is guided to an authentication server via communication control apparatus. The communication control apparatus replaces a MAC address of the destination addresses of another server, which is included in the ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) cache of the personal computer, with the MAC address of the communication control apparatus to guide the packet from the personal computer to the communication control apparatus. The communication control apparatus further transmits the received packet to a predetermined authentication server. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a positive type photoresist with improved robustness. SOLUTION: Photoresist composition includes a blend of at least one fully protected calix [4]resorcinarene and at least one unprotected calix [4]resorcinarene, wherein the fully protected calix [4]resorcinarene has a phenol group protected with an acid labile protective group, a photoacid generator, and a solvent. The blend and the photoacid generator are soluble in the solvent. Also disclosed are processes for generating a resist image on a substrate using the photoresist composition.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for estimating degrees of similarity between pages from the viewpoint of creating and verifying metadata, based on similarity in each of structure/style (appearance)/accessibility errors between pages, and to recommend an appropriate representative page for efficiently adding metadata, based on the estimation result or to recommend an appropriate target page for efficiently verifying metadata. SOLUTION: The method is executed by a computer system, including an input/output means, an operation control means, and a storage means and supports correction of a plurality of defects included in a structured text. The method includes a step for computing the degree of defect for each of the plurality of defects; a step for computing similarity in each of the plurality of defects; a step for computing the degree of contribution indicating a degree where correction of each defect affects correction of the remaining defects, based on the degree of defect and the similarity; and a step for selecting a defect having higher degree of contribution as a defect that has higher priority.
