A system and method of compression indexing and efficient proximity search of text data permits high speed search featuring ranking the relevance of search results according to closeness of desired terms within each portion of text found. The system includes (a) preparing target text, (b) creating a “compression index ebook”, (c) browsing in a compression index ebook, and (d) searching in a compression index ebook. To create the compression index, the method includes the steps of selecting target text, identifying tokens, such as words and punctuation strings, wherein each of the tokens has a frequency. The frequencies of each token are counted. Tokens are ranked from highest frequency to lowest frequency. The frequencies are compressed. The next step is assigning positions to each token frequency and compressing the positions to form a compression index ebook, which is stored in random access memory to eliminate disk seeks during browsing and searching.

A cryptographic apparatus reads, from a portable storage medium, content data and cryptographic information specifying a certain part of the content data on which cryptographic processing is to be performed, specifies the certain part in the read content data based on the read cryptographic information, and performs one of encryption and decryption on the certain part. When, for example, the content data is formed from alternating headers and variable-length data sections, the cryptographic information is a program formed from an instruction sequence. The instruction sequence has the cryptographic apparatus detect a header in the content data, read the length of the variable-length data, and perform cryptographic processing on a part of the content data between a start point and an end point, the start point being a position relative to the header position, and the end point being a value resulting from adding the length to the start point.

An method for providing an objective manifest refraction of a patient's eye includes obtaining at least fourth-order Zernike wavefront aberration information, fitting a second-order only polynomial to the at least fourth-order data, and using this information to predict the patient's manifest refraction with an accuracy approaching the patient's subjective manifest refraction. A method is also described for prescribing an accurate vision correction based upon the objective manifest refraction. A display according to the invention includes higher-order wavefront aberrations, lower order wavefront aberrations, numerical indicia of predicted manifest refraction, and images of qualitative assessments of a patient's vision quality. A device for obtaining an objective manifest refraction is described.

A system and method for platform and language-independent delivery of page-based content. Content defined in a relatively abstract format is rendered into multiple platform formats in client-side applications' user interfaces in multiple human languages. The relatively abstract format is a subset of XML and is used to define user interface elements to be displayed on a page. A Model-View-Controller architecture is implemented comprising a plurality of servlet filters, a servlet pipeline and a plurality of rendering processors for client detection, client tracking, relatively abstract format preprocessing, relatively abstract format processing and validating, and transforming and rendering of the relatively abstract format into multiple platform formats in client-side applications' user interfaces in multiple human languages. A creation, modification and management tool is also disclosed for creating, modifying and managing platform and language-independent page-based content.

A display identification system includes: a plurality of display devices, each of the display devices having a light source; and an identification device configured to identify the plurality of display devices. Each of the plurality of display devices includes a configured to perform luminance modulation to luminance-modulate an output light of the corresponding light source in a predetermined range, by combining a specific signal, which is different for each of the display devices, with a driving signal of the corresponding light source. The identification device includes: a receiver configured to receive an optical signal obtained by performing the luminance modulation; and an identification device configured to identify the plurality of display devices based on the optical signal received by the receiver.

A abnormality diagnosing apparatus used in a machine equipment including a rotating or sliding part relative to a stationary member includes a detecting portion 31 fixed to the rotating or sliding part or the stationary member and including a vibration sensor 32 and a temperature sensor 33, and a signal processing portion 81 for determining a state of the part from a detecting signal outputted by the detecting portion 31. The signal processing portion 81 determines presence or absence of a abnormality, or presence or absence of the abnormality and a degree of a damage of the part based on a combination of a measured result by the vibration sensor 32 and a measured result by the temperature sensor 33.

An automated banking apparatus is operative to carry out banking transactions commonly required by merchants. The apparatus includes an item accepting depository for accepting deposit items, such as deposit bags, currency, and checks. The apparatus further includes an input device that is operative to interrogate an RFID tag to obtain merchant deposit information therefrom. The information can include data representative of the deposit, such as an account number and the deposit amount. The RFID tag may be located on an item being deposited.
