Abstract

The Universal Data Transcriber is a device to convert digital data from one form to another. The input to the system can be cards, paper tape, magnetic tape, or the output of almost any source of digital data that does not exceed 500,000 bits per second. The output of the converter can be cards, magnetic tape, paper tape, low- or high-speed printers, point plotters, or almost any other digital output device. The conversion process allows for very flexible code and format conversion as the data is transcribed from one medium to another.

A Generic Model for Universal Data Storage and Conversion and Its Web Based Prototypical Implementation

This paper presents a prototypical, Web based data conversion framework and its underlying data representation principles which allow conversions from and to any data format. Therefore, a data model is proposed which allows storing values of arbitrary ...
A universal compressed data format for foreign file systems
DCC '95: Proceedings of the Conference on Data Compression

The authors have proposed a compressed data format that can be used with any foreign file system and that allows users to access data randomly in a compressed file without entirely decompressing it. Since the compressed file includes all information ...
Universal fuzzy system representation with XML

An XML schema and an XML DTD (Document Type Definition) are designed as syntax to represent general fuzzy systems in XML. We demonstrate how fuzzy systems described in XML with our proposed schema can be universally compatible with different software by ...
