A method of, and system for, creating a document on a real time basis and providing a view of adjoining portions of the document. A data object is specified for creating a window on a display screen and data is input into the window. When the window has been filled with data, input of additional data will result in scrolling of the data, and the data will become larger than the window. Upon completion of the data object, the input data is stored, but a windows' worth of data continues to be disp...

A multiplanular image creating device includes a housing having a viewing port and primary and secondary image generation chambers therein. The primary chamber is divided into a plurality of cells, each of which contains an image source such as a portion of a video display tube surface or an actual physical object. A plurality of light transmissive two-way mirrors are disposed between the cells and the viewing port. The mirrors may be arranged to increase the perceived depth of field beyond the ...

Templates are used in methods of improving the perceived intonation of musical notes by modifying each note to provide certain frequencies between adjacent pairs of notes. The template modifications provide, in a sequence of twelve notes per octave, or extended octave, that each note is separated from an adjacent note according to one of frequency ratios of 25/24 (h), 16/15 (m) and 27/25 (s). The templates can be used with keyboards and virtual keyboards and applied to recorded music, musical in...

An apparatus arranged to create an original chart which is disposed on a platen of a multi-color electrophotographic printing machine for producing color copies thereof. The foregoing abstract is neither intended to define the invention disclosed in the specification, nor is it intended to be limiting as to the scope of the invention in any way.

In order to verify the authenticity of the signature of an individual, first a sample signature is written with a pen which can generate electrical signals representative of the forces exerted in the plane of the paper in the process of writing. These signals are sampled and then scaled so that the signature when displayed, can be fitted within a predetermined display area. The scaled signals generated from the sample signature are then stored. When it is desired to compare the sample signature ...

The present invention relates to apparatus for creating summaries of a database. The apparatus includes a processor which is adapted to monitor the usage of the database and, determine one or more summaries in accordance with the usage.

Process and apparatus for creating a magnetic latent image capable of being rendered visible with magnetic toner without image deletion. An area of interest on a magnetizable member is recorded with a first substantially uniform spatial pattern of magnetic transitions having a transition wavelength .lambda..sub.1 capable of retaining magnetic toner on the magnetizable member and effective to substantially completely cover the area of interest upon development with magnetic toner. A second spatia...

Production of F.sub.2.sup.+ color centers in alkali halide crystals with densities high enough for efficient use in lasers is achieved by a two-step, highly selective photoionization mechanism. This mechanism is coupled with the use of suitable divalent metal ions as efficient and stable electron traps to allow nearly 100 percent conversion of F.sub.2 color centers to F.sub.2.sup.+ color centers. The two-step photoionization mechanism comprises photo-exciting the F.sub.2 color center to the firs...

A sentence generating method and apparatus for generating a joke sentence set having a dual meaning. A predetermined word in a selected first idiom is stored in a W list. A word of analogous sound having the pronunciation same as or analogous with the word in the W list and also being of the same word class as the word in the W list is stored in a RW list. It is then checked whether or not the subject word stored in the P list has a semantic relationship with the word of the analogous sound in t...
