1. A method for ranking creators of a set of documents in order of their expertise in a subject including the steps of:
selecting documents from the set of documents that refer to the subject to create a subject related subset of documents;
selecting extracts from the subset of documents that refer to the subject;
analyzing the linguistic structure of the extracts by isolating verbs in the extracts to create a set of verbs for classification;
classifying each isolated verb in the set of verbs according to a predetermined hierarchy; and
using the analysis to rank the creators.
2. A method for ranking creators of a set of documents according to claim 1 including the further step of:
creating the predetermined hierarchy by mapping isolated verbs to an illocutionary verb in a predefined set of illocutionary verbs and;
classifying the mapped isolated verbs according to the Speech Act Theory category of the corresponding illocutionary verb.
3. A method for ranking creators of a set of documents according to claim 2 including the further step of:
filtering isolated verbs not having a predefined illocutionary verb and thus not successfully mapped to the set of illocutionary verbs and;
checking for synonyms of the unmapped isolated verbs, that have a predefined illocutionary verb and;
classifying the unmapped isolated verbs according to the Speech Act Theory of the corresponding illocutionary verb of it synonym.
5. A method for ranking creators according to claim 1, wherein isolating verbs includes the step of:
decomposing sentences in the extracts into a group of grammatically-related phrases, such as \u201cnoun\u201d, \u201cadverb\u201d, \u201cadjective\u201d, \u201cverb\u201d or \u201cpreposition\u201d.
5. A method for ranking creators of a set of documents according to claim 1, including the step of:
weighting extracts to favor those written in the first person over those written in the third person.
6. A method for ranking creators according to claim 1, wherein the set of documents is e-mail communications.
7. A computer program executable to rank creators of a set of documents in order of their expertise in a subject according to the method of claim 1.
8. A computer programmed to rank creators of a set of documents in order of their expertise in a subject according to the method of claim 1.
9. A computer to rank creators of a set of documents in order of their expertise including means for:
selecting documents from the set of documents that refer to the subject to create a subject related subset of documents;
selecting extracts from the subset of documents that refer to the subject;
analyzing the linguistic structure of the extracts by isolating verbs in the extracts to create a set of verbs for classification, and classifying each isolated verb in the set of verbs according to a predetermined hierarchy and using the analysis to rank the creators.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
1. A mounting device for a chip component, comprising
a carrier for transporting the chip component, removed from a holding part which holds each of cut chip components, to a mounting substrate to mount the same;
a measuring terminal, provided with at least a part of said carrier, for measuring electric properties of said chip component during transporting; and
a control means for controlling said carrier so as to mount said chip component on said mounting substrate only when a measurement of said chip component determined through said measuring terminal satisfies mountable conditions.
2. The mounting device for a chip component as set forth in claim 1, wherein said carrier comprises a pick-up head for receiving said chip component removed from said holding part; and a mounting head for mounting said chip component on said mounting substrate.
3. The mounting device for a chip component as set forth in claim 2, wherein said carrier further comprises a carrier table for transporting said chip component, received on said pick-up head, to said mounting head.
4. The mounting device for a chip component as set forth in claim 3, wherein said measuring terminal is provided with at least one of said mounting head and said carrier table.
5. The mounting device for a chip component as set forth in claim 2, wherein said carrier further comprises a stationary table for temporarily placing said chip component received on said pick-up head.
6. The mounting device for a chip component as set forth in claim 5, wherein said measuring terminal is provided with at least one of said mounting head and said stationary table.
7. The mounting device for a chip component as set forth in claim 1, wherein
said holding part is a holding sheet for holding individual chip components, and
the mounting device further comprises a peel off means for peeling said chip component from said holding sheet.
8. The mounting device for a chip component as set forth in claim 7, wherein
said holding sheet is attached on a wafer table, and
said peel off means is an ejector pin which is inserted in an opening formed on said wafer table.
9. The mounting device for a chip component as set forth in claim 8, wherein
a cutting means is placed on said wafer table, and
said chip components are obtained by cutting a wafer placed on said holding sheet and wafer table.
10. The mounting device for a chip component as set forth in claim 1, wherein said carrier contacting with said chip component is grounded.
