with respect to the longitudinal axis of the recording medium 35 (see the process direction arrow 36), while the sync code pattern 33 is shown as being composed of glyphs 37 that are tilted at +45.degree.
Thus, the first key test for disambiguating sync glyphs from data glyphs focuses on determining whether a given spatially ordered sequence of glyphs encodes values of the known sync code in valid logical order.
An alternate approach to disambiguation would be to use an asymmetric spatial patterns for the sync code.

To disambiguate the admissible possibilities, the standard approach is to rely on the context in which the entity appears to provide additional clues to the intended meaning [16].
In [14] the one-sense-per-discourse [20] hypothesis was applied to disambiguation, exploiting the fact that the sense of a term is highly consistent within a given document.

 Entry of words with thumbwheel by disambiguation
The arrows indicate movement from one item to another as the thumbwheel is moved clockwise, including the character group inputs 604 and word inputs 605.
The arrangement of lettering is a compromise that distributes the letters sufficiently to allow good performance for disambiguation, while insuring that the highest frequency letters are assigned to keys in such a way as to minimize total movement of the thumbwheel when entering a particular word.
In this case, it is better to disambiguate an existing letter rather than enter a new letter more than half the time--particularly given that the system requests a disambiguation of only that character group that has the greatest effect.
