To generate commands to delete an ID and all references to it, use RACF's IRRRID00 utility. You simply enter the ID in the SYSIN DD Temporary Access with statement of the IRRRID00 job like so: CONNECT REVOKE(date) //SYSIN DD * USERX You may occasionally need to permit a user temporary access to a resource. One way to do If USERX is the owner of a profile or connect, so is to grant a group access to the resource IRRRID00 generates commands like: and connect the user to that group with a revoke date. The command to set the connect revoke CONNECT RDSADM GROUP(RACFSTC) OWNER(?USERX) date would look something like this: In these cases, you need to change ?USERX to CONNECT USERA GROUP(TEMPACC) REVOKE(1/20/09) a valid replacement ID. This can be done manually or with ISPF EDIT CHANGE. On the date specified with the revoke, RACF will no longer allow the user to have the access Alternatively, you can tell IRRRID00 which permitted to the group. If you want to remove the replacement ID to use when it builds the revoke date but leave the connect intact, enter: commands. If, for instance, you want to replace every occurrence of USERX with USERJ, enter CONNECT USERA GROUP(TEMPACC) NOREVOKE the following in the SYSIN DD: A banking client of ours used this capability to //SYSIN DD * govern access to APF-authorized libraries.

We introduce the basic concepts needed to understand how writing systems and character encodings function, and how they work together. The intersection of the Unicode Standard and the International Phonetic Al- phabet is often not met without frustration by users. Nevertheless, thetwo standards have provided language researchers with a consistent computational architecture needed to process, publish and analyze data from many different languages. We bring to light common, but not always transparent, pitfalls that researchers face when working with Unicode and IPA. Our research uses quantitative methods to compare languages and uncover and clarify their phylogenetic relations. However, the majority of lexical data available from the world’s languages is in author- or document-specific orthogra- phies.

  • Optical Character Recognition - a Combined ANN/HMM Approach

    Optical Character Recognition - a Combined ANN/HMM Approach

    Optical Character Recognition - A Combined ANN/HMM Approach Dissertation submitted to the Department of Computer Science Technical University of Kaiserslautern for the fulfillment of the requirements for the doctoral degree Doctor of Engineering (Dr.-Ing.) by Sheikh Faisal Rashid Dean: Prof. Dr. Klaus Schneider Thesis supervisors: Prof. Dr. Thomas Breuel, TU Kaiserslautern Prof. Dr. Andreas Dengel, TU Kaiserslautern Chair of supervisory committee: Prof. Dr. Karsten Berns, TU Kaiserslautern Kaiserslautern, 11 July, 2014 D 386 Abstract Optical character recognition (OCR) of machine printed text is ubiquitously considered as a solved problem. However, error free OCR of degraded (broken and merged) and noisy text is still challenging for modern OCR systems. OCR of degraded text with high accuracy is very important due to many applications in business, industry and large scale document digitization projects. This thesis presents a new OCR method for degraded text recognition by introducing a combined ANN/HMM OCR approach. The approach provides significantly better performance in comparison with state-of-the-art HMM based OCR methods and existing open source OCR systems. In addition, the thesis introduces novel applications of ANNs and HMMs for document image preprocessing and recognition of low resolution text. Furthermore, the thesis provides psychophysical experiments to determine the effect of letter permutation in visual word recognition of Latin and Cursive script languages. HMMs and ANNs are widely employed pattern recognition paradigms and have been used in numerous pattern classification problems. This work presents a simple and novel method for combining the HMMs and ANNs in application to segmentation free OCR of degraded text. HMMs and ANNs are powerful pattern recognition strategies and their combination is interesting to improve current state-of-the-art research in OCR.
  • The GNOME Desktop Environment

    The GNOME Desktop Environment

    The GNOME desktop environment Miguel de Icaza ([email protected]) Instituto de Ciencias Nucleares, UNAM Elliot Lee ([email protected]) Federico Mena ([email protected]) Instituto de Ciencias Nucleares, UNAM Tom Tromey ([email protected]) April 27, 1998 Abstract We present an overview of the free GNU Network Object Model Environment (GNOME). GNOME is a suite of X11 GUI applications that provides joy to users and hackers alike. It has been designed for extensibility and automation by using CORBA and scripting languages throughout the code. GNOME is licensed under the terms of the GNU GPL and the GNU LGPL and has been developed on the Internet by a loosely-coupled team of programmers. 1 Motivation Free operating systems1 are excellent at providing server-class services, and so are often the ideal choice for a server machine. However, the lack of a consistent user interface and of consumer-targeted applications has prevented free operating systems from reaching the vast majority of users — the desktop users. As such, the benefits of free software have only been enjoyed by the technically savvy computer user community. Most users are still locked into proprietary solutions for their desktop environments. By using GNOME, free operating systems will have a complete, user-friendly desktop which will provide users with powerful and easy-to-use graphical applications. Many people have suggested that the cause for the lack of free user-oriented appli- cations is that these do not provide enough excitement to hackers, as opposed to system- level programming. Since most of the GNOME code had to be written by hackers, we kept them happy: the magic recipe here is to design GNOME around an adrenaline response by trying to use exciting models and ideas in the applications.
