cleanup date May 2009 tone date May 2009 The http www.ulcc.ac.uk University of London Computer Centre ULCC was founded in 1968, and was the first supercomputer facility established in London for the purpose of scientific and educational research by all of the colleges of the University of London . ULCC initially provided large scale Control Data Corporation CDC based facilities, then from 1982 to 1991 a national Cray vector supercomputing service, and, latterly, a 6 processor, 4 Gbyte Convex Computer Convex C3860 supercomputer with a Convex C3200 front end. ULCC also became a major site for national and international network connections in the UK. It ran the Network Operations and Service Centre for the JANET Internet Protocol Service JIPS the largest of the JANET network centres and various international links and relays on behalf of UKERNA . Since the closure of its supercomputer service in the 1990s, ULCC has focused on providing IT services across the educational and public sector, as well as undertaking research work in fields such as digital preservation and e learning . In 2009, ULCC vacated its historic premises of 40 years at 20 Guilford Street, a building that was custom built in the 1960s specifically to house some of the earliest supercomputers in the UK. It is now based within the central university at Senate House. ULCC continues to develop innovative IT services for a wide range of organisations mainly in the UK but with increasing work from overseas.

JIS X 0208 is a 2 byte character set specified as a Japanese Industrial Standards Japanese Industrial Standard , containing 6879 graphic characters suitable for writing text, place names, personal names, and so forth in the Japanese language . The official title of the current standard is nihongo 7 bit and 8 bit double byte coded KANJI sets for information interchange 7 8 2 Nana Bitto Oyobi Hachi Bitto no Ni Baito J h K kan y Fug ka Kanji Sh g . It was originally established as JIS C 6226 in 1978, and has been revised in 1983, 1990, and 1997. Scope of use and compatibility The character set JIS X 0208 establishes is primarily for the purpose of nihongo information interchange j h k kan between data processing systems and the devices connected to them, or mutually between data communication systems. This character set can be used for data processing and text processing. Partial implementations of the character set are not compatible. Because there are places where such things have happened as the original drafting committee of the first standard taking care to separate things between level 1 and level 2 and the second standard then shuffling some itaiji among the level, at least in the first and second standards, it is conjectured that non kanji and level 1 only implementations were hypothesized at those times. However, such implementations have never been specified as compatible. Even though there are provisions in the JIS X 0208 1997 standard concerning compatibility, at the present time, it is generally considered that this standard neither certifies compatibility nor is it an official manufacturing standard that amounts to a declaration of self compatibility. ref JIS X 0208 was not one of the standards included in the http web.archive.org web 20070205155442 http www.jisc.go.jp newstopics 2006 070117new jis list.htm list of applicable target systems for display of the new JIS mark announced by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Indus ... more details
