The birth and growth of the Japanese language word processor: internal venturing in Toshiba Corporation

Article Abstract:

The story of the emergence, rapid development and maturity of the Japanese language word processor that has allowed Japan, despite the complexities of the Japanese language, to catch up with West in office automation is presented. The development of the Japanese language processor can be traced back to the initial vision of Dr. Ken-Ichi Mori in 1971 and his small team of Toshiba engineers. Through Toshiba Corp's RUPO series of word processors, the company was able to achieve an 80% market share in Japan for a short time.

Internal waves in a large offshore storage tank

Article Abstract:

The sloshing behavior of waves caused by the displacement of the walls and the bottom of a gravity-based offshore oils storage tank is studied. Experimental and theoretical analyses are performed on a prototype steel cylindrical tank and an elastic shell structure seated on an elastic foundation, respectively. Results indicate that the choice of a proper damping factor is essential for the accurate analysis of sloshing in a partially filled circular tank.

Offshore challenge

Article Abstract:

An evaluation of the construction of the Main Pass Pine in the Gulf of Mexico, the second largest US sulfur deposit and the largest remaining reserve, is presented. Emphasis is placed on the anticipated soil motion and the accompanying structure to remedy this problem. Besides considering soil subsidence to the overall construction design and placement, weather conditions and the total weight of the mining complex is also assessed.
