	Computer vision - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As a technological discipline, computer vision seeks to apply the theories and models of computer vision to the construction of computer vision systems.
		As a consequence, computer vision is sometimes seen as a part of the artificial intelligence field or the computer science field in general.
		A significant part of computer vision deals with methods which require a thorough understanding of the process in which electromagnetic radiation, typically in the visible or the infra-red range, is reflected by the surfaces of objects and finally is measured by the image sensor to produce the image data.

	Source code - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In modern programming languages, the source code which constitutes a program is usually in several text files, but the same source code may be printed in a book or recorded on tape (usually without a filesystem).
		The source code is either converted into an executable file by a compiler for a particular computer architecture, or executed on the fly from the human readable form with the aid of an interpreter.
		Many source code programming style guides, which stress readability and some language-specific conventions are aimed at the maintenance of the software source code, which involves debugging and updating.

	FCLR: Discovery in Computer Software Patent Litigation -- © 1998 FMJA
		The maintenance phase of a computer program can cost more than ten times the original development cost, as the next generation of programmers struggles to understand what was going on the in the minds of their programming forebears.
		Although computer diskettes and tapes are readily organized in desk drawers or storage cabinets, and hard disks are tidily hidden inside personal computers, the evidence they contain is rarely organized coherently.
		Before the computer revolution, a business' records were in view, in filing cabinets or desk drawers, and a physical search was all that was required to comply with a document request.

	Journal of Computer & Information Law
		The theory was that by adding the computer or carrier, claims covering a software implemented process could be transformed into a "machine" (consisting of the software loaded in the computer) or an "article of manufacture" (the software loaded on the computer readable carrier).
		This position rests on the premise that because computer readable media is sufficient, or at least necessary, to permit the computer program's functionality to be realized (thereby demonstrating the useful arts nature of the claim), the absence of computer readable media should reliably identify claims which do not.
		Once one accepts the special purpose computer system analysis, it is a short and unavoidable step to finding that claims to the software itself, when limited to its "instruction" role as a part of the special purpose computer system, constitute both technology and apparatus (machine or articles of manufacture).

	CONTU: Computer Data Bases
		The introduction of a work into a computer memory would, consistent with the new law, be a reproduction of the work, one of the exclusive rights of the copyright proprietor.
		Exemplifying such fair uses could be the creation of a copy in a computer memory to prepare a concordance of a work or to perform a syntactical analysis of a work, which but for the use of a computer would require a prohibitive amount of human time and effort.
		Computer data bases seem well suited for this exemption, for the deposit of an identifying form would achieve the statutory’ purpose of “providing a satisfactory archival record of a work without imposing practical or financial hardships on the depositor.

		A mere discrepancy between the paper copy and the computer readable form may not, in and of itself, be sufficient to justify a proposed correction.
		In this regard, the Office will assume that the computer readable form has been incorporated by reference into the application when the paper and computer readable forms were submitted at the time of filing of the application.
		However, once use of the computer readable form by the Office for processing has ended, i.e., once the Office has entered the data contained on the computer readable form into the appropriate database, the Office does not intend to further preserve the computer readable form submitted by the applicant.

	Request for Comments on Proposed Examination Guidelines for Computer-Implemented Inventions
		Computer program-related elements of a computer-implemented [6] invention may serve as the specific structure, material or acts that correspond to an element of an invention defined using a means plus function limitation.
		For example, a series of operations performed by a computer under the direction of a computer program may serve as "specific acts" that correspond to a means element.
		Similarly, a computer-readable memory encoded with data representing a computer program that can cause a computer to function in a particular fashion, or a component of a computer that has been reconfigured with a computer program to operate in a particular fashion, can serve as the "specific structure" corresponding to a means element.

	Journal of Computer & Information Law
		Computer hardware, software, and networking equipment together have fueled the onset of the Information Age, an age where a seemingly endless stream of ones and zeroes often is an extremely valuable commodity.
		It demonstrates that the patenting of computer instruction embodied in a computer readable medium, as permitted by the Guidelines, is a clear extension beyond the precedent of the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ("Federal Circuit") and the United States Supreme Court.
		The fact that a computer readable medium is no less a physical structure with functional characteristics than other computer components, is illustrated by understanding the role computer programs played in the development of general purpose computers.

	PTO Issues Proposed Guidelines for Examination of Computer Implemented Inventions (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		In its Proposed Guidelines, the PTO has explicitly stated that any software in combination with a computer readable medium, memory, or computer is a statutory (patentable subject matter) machine or article of manufacture and any steps performed in a computer is a statutory process.
		Any computer or other programmable apparatus whose actions are directed by a computer program or other form of software will be considered a statutory "machine".
		Any computer-readable memory (such as a floppy disk) that can be used to direct a computer to function in a particular manner when used by the computer will be considered a statutory "article of manufacture".

	Examination Guidelines for Computer-Related Inventions
		Since a computer program is merely a set of instructions capable of being executed by a computer, the computer program itself is not a process and Office personnel should treat a claim for a computer program, without the computer-readable medium needed to realize the computer program's functionality, as non-statutory functional descriptive material.
		When a computer program is claimed in a process where the computer is executing the computer program's instructions, Office personnel should treat the claim as a process claim.
		There is always some form of physical transformation within a computer because a computer acts on signals and transforms them during its operation and changes the state of its components during the execution of a process.

		A patent claim for a computer-readable medium encoded with a data structure or computer program defines structural and functional interrelationships between the data structure and the medium which permit the data structure's functionality to be realized.
		The examiner must (a) determine what the programmed computer does, i.e., the functionality of the programmed computer; (b) how the computer is configured, i.e., what elements constitute the programmed computer and how those elements are configured and interrelated; and (c) the relationship of the programmed computer to other devices, materials or processes outside the computer.
		Although the new examination guidelines propose a better analytical framework for determining whether a computer program for a mathematical formula, for example, is patentable, in view of the disclaiming language in the introductory portion of the guidelines, it is uncertain whether every examiner in the Patent and Trademark Office will adhere to the guidelines.

	Editorial Review of Computer Software Documentation - Appendix I
		In the review of computer software documentation, it is important to address the degree to which the purpose of the documentation is accomplished and the effectiveness of the complete package of software together with the documentation.
		Sometimes it may be desirable and appropriate to list a computer program as an appendix to an interagency/ internal report (NISTIR) that is written as a record of progress on a technical program or system.
		Such reports are not intended for outside distribution and use, and the status of the computer program development and testing must be clearly stated; persons, if other than the author, who can be contacted for additional information must be identified.

	Device driver, control method for device drivers, and computer-readable medium for storing control program for device ...
		As an operating instruction is given specifying the hardware unit to be controlled, the control information memory determines the plug section with which to transfer the operating instruction with reference to this table, and transfers the operating instruction to this plug section.
		Therefore, a problem associated with the first cited prior art method is that, where a plurality of peripheral units controllable by different methods are to be connected to a single computer system, as many device drivers as the control methods are required.
		A problem associated with second cited method is that, every time the device driver needs to support a new type of hardware, a subroutine for that particular hardware unit should be added, resulting in an expansion of the device driver and a consequent increase in the memory capacity it occupies.
