The present invention generally relates to the field of electronic document storage and management, and more particularly to systems and methods for computer based text or information from text databases. More specially, the present invention relates to taking a set of URLs provided by an Internet search engine/agent, and presenting summaries of the web sites associated with the URLs in an easily readable and understandable format.

Method and system for information retrieval from query evaluations of very large full-text databases

A system for operatively connecting a source of a quantity of digital data having an image data format associated therewith, and an output device to create a print of the original image based on the digital data. A library includes a plurality of selectable format variable sets, each format variable set corresponding to an image data format. A portion of the quantity of digital data is polled for evidence relating to the presence of one image data format. A format structure operates the output device to print an image based on the digital data according to the format variables entered therein. One of the format variable sets is entered into the format structure, based on evidence in the portion of the quantity of digital data.

System for printing image data in a versatile print server

A method of combining data sets of heterogeneous image formats, such as PDL's. in a printing system. A first image data set is translated by a coprocessor, using an interpretation code among many stored in memory. In response to 'end of job' data in the first image data set, the first image data set in a final image format is transferred to the memory, and a second image data set is transferred from the memory to the coprocessor. The image format of the second image data set is determined. An interpretation code for translating the second image data set is loaded into the coprocessor.

System for combining heterogeneous image processing jobs into a single

In a network wherein a plurality of independent computers having various page description languages (PDL's) interface with a central printer through a plurality of lines, a system allows the user or administrator of a computer on each line to elect whether the line shall have the property of persistence of a PDL for all jobs coming through the line, or whether a new PDL shall be activated as necessary depending on the particular line.

System for controlling the printing of electronic documents with various

A method of operating an imaging system server, the server being adapted to translate jobs written in a first data form to a second data form, and including a memory defining entry locations therein. Untranslated data relating to the first job is loaded at a first entry location in the memory. The untranslated data relating to the first job is translated, and untranslated data relating to the first job is removed from the memory as the untranslated data is translated. Translated data relating to the first job is loaded at a second entry location in the memory. Untranslated data relating to a second job is loaded at the first entry location in the memory while translating the untranslated data relating to the first job.

Method for translating image processing data

There is provided a printing system for producing prints from a print job written in one of a plurality of page description languages with the print job assuming the form of a print job stream. The printing system includes a plurality of page description language analyzing units for sampling the print job stream, each analyzing unit outputting an information signal which provides information regarding the print job stream. A filter, which receives the information signals, processes the information signals and outputs a filtered signal which indicates the page description language in which the print job is written.
