The present invention implements retrieval of mutually related sentences even between sentences in a wide variety of languages. A related sentence retrieval system is provided with n (n is 3 or a greater natural number) cross-lingual retrieval systems for bidirectionally retrieving related sentences between sentences written in language P and sentences written in other languages A to F, a language P sentence input unit is shared by the cross-lingual retrieval systems, and the language P sentence output unit is also shared by them to implement bidirectional retrieval of related sentences via language P between sentences in the other n languages. Thus sentences in language P are handed over back and forth between the cross-lingual retrieval systems to implement bidirectional related sentence retrieval between sentences in n different languages.

Related sentence retrieval system having a plurality of cross-lingual retrieving units that pairs similar sentences based on extracted independent words

An image forming apparatus which comprises image inputter for inputting an image, information inputter for inputting information to be added to the image, image producer for producing an output pixel corresponding to the image inputted by the image inputter using a line screen whose line width is changed depending on desired density of the output pixel, position changer for changing a position of the output pixel to be produced in accordance with the information inputted by the information inputter in a line width direction of the line screen within the width of the screen in a process of producing the output pixel corresponding to the inputted image by the image producer, and controller for controlling the image producer to produce the output pixel in the position changed by the position changer using the line screen.

Embedding information into images by varying pixel parameters

A color values processing description which represents a procedure of color values processing is analyzed by use of a partial reservation table and a total reservation table. The color values processing description is changed based on results of the analysis. For example, two consecutive operations of the same type, such as normalizing operations, gamma correcting operations or look-up table referencing operations, are unified into a single operation.

Color values processing apparatus capable of optimizing a processing

In an image edit processing system, a first image edit processing apparatus analyzes information for editing an image by means of a first information analyzer, and has a first image-editing-information generator for generating information to edit the image in accordance with the analyzed information. An image storing/editing apparatus includes an image memory for storing the image, analyzes information for editing the image by a second information analyzer, and includes a second image-editing-information generator for generating information to edit the image in accordance with the analyzed information. The apparatuses are connected together via an information transmitting path. Memory may be provided for storing for a fixed period of time the image edited by the first image edit processing apparatus.

Image edit processing system

A color space of input image information sent from an image input device is recognized, and, if it is not the standard color space, it is judged whether the input image information is associated with color correction data. If the input image information is not on the standard color space but associated with color correction data, it is converted to image information on the standard color space using the associated color correction data. If the input image information is neither on the standard color space nor associated with color correction data, it is converted to image information on the standard color space using color correction data read from a storage device. A conversion device converts the image data on the standard color space to YMCK image information, which is sent to an image output device.

Image processing system capable of attaining color coincidence between

A network system in which a plurality of information devices connected to each other through a network are provided so that a resource is released to the information devices through the network, the system comprising: a storage device for storing an access list indicating an access right for every information device of release destination; and a management device for releasing a resource within a range in accordance with a right given to every information device on the basis of the access list stored in the storage device.
