Idegen nyelvű összefoglalók
Chapter VTX. Methodological questions of patent ini'ormát ion. points it out that the readers come across references to patent specification in the shortest form, i.e. in the form of footnotes or references. It is feasible to supply the patent collections at least with indexes of patent numbers, inventors, firms and patent classes. These aids will permit a retrieval from several aspects. Patent documentation most frequently appears on such information carriers as cards and card filing pockets of A/6 format, while the analysis of the text of patent specifications is performed by breaking the text down into terms and term-chains on the basis of autopsia. The simplest method of recording is to put the terms onto standing filing cards or optical /реек-a-boo/ cards, which do not need preliminary sorting or pre-arrangement. Unambiguous and one-way chains may be developed from the terms, and these may also be stored on standing filing cards or no machine punched cards. The latter information carrier already prepares mechanization, forming the basis of arrangement necessary to electronic storage. Chapter VIII. Mechanization of patent information, surveys the aspects of processing patent specifications with a view to mechanization, and touches upon the essentials of machine-assisted processing. Then it treats the analysis of the information content of patent specifications, showing how the characteristics found can be made fit for mechanized storage and retrieval. It deals with descriptors, thesauri, and with the coding of the information content of patent specifications. Then it surveys the old-type manual abstracting cards and various types of manual punched cards and their use. It demonstrates several machine punched cards, key-punches, readers, and sorters. Then it describes computers and several types of their peripherial devices, with especial view to the magnetic tape and magnetic j.sc, forming now the most wide-spread storage media, making mention of the future dimensions of the development of computers, particularly of storage media operating with cells and laser beams, the fourth generation of computers. Finally it outlines some of the more advanced systems of patent information, then it quotes several examples of mechanization particularly in such fields as indexing patent specifications, preparing abstracting cards, processing by way of magnetic tapes. 212
