Abstract: A data processing system enabling an outstanding-based variable flow control is provided. The data processing system includes a first semiconductor integrated circuit possessing an initiator and a second semiconductor integrated circuit possessing a target. The initiator transmits a request packet to the target, the target transmits a response packet to the initiator, and split transaction interface is practiced. The initiator includes an outstanding number counting circuit for counting an outstanding number defined by the difference in number between the request packets transmitted and the response packets received. The request packet transmission number is controlled so that the count value of the outstanding number counting circuit may not exceed the outstanding number to which the target can respond. The outstanding number is dynamically changeable to a suitable number so that the maximum latency from the issue of the request packet to the reception of the response packet is suppressed.

Abstract: In an image pickup apparatus (10, 11) of the present invention, an image of an object is picked up and an image signal representing the object is continuously captured so that a through-the-lens image is displayed based on the captured image signal, and then a display area for displaying focusing information is composited (S16, S18) into the through-the-lens image of a displaying device. In addition, based on the captured image signal, an automatic focus adjustment is performed (S24, S32) to maximize the contrast of the object, and the result of the focus adjustment is detected (S24, S26). Based on the detected focusing condition, focusing information which is composited into the display area is changed (S28, S32). The focusing information includes at least focusing information of an unfocused condition and focusing information of a focused condition. This enables information that a desired area of an object became focused to be displayed to a user in a manner easy to understand.

Abstract: The retrofitting of an existing methanol or methanol/ammonia plant to make acetic acid is disclosed. The existing plant has a reformer (10) to which natural gas or another hydrocarbon and steam (water) are fed. Syngas is formed in the reformer (10). All or part of the syngas is processed to separate out carbon dioxide (24), carbon monoxide (30) and hydrogen (32), and the separated carbon dioxide (24) is fed either to the existing methanol synthesis loop (12) for methanol synthesis, or back into the feed to the reformer (10) to enhance carbon monoxide formation in the syngas (18). Any remaining syngas (38) not fed to the carbon dioxide separator (22) can be converted to methanol in the existing methanol synthesis loop (12) along with carbon dioxide (24) from the separator (22) and/or imported carbon dioxide (25), and hydrogen (35) from the separator (28). The separated carbon monoxide (30) is then reacted with the methanol (36) to produce acetic acid (40) or an acetic acid precursor by a conventional process. Also disclosed is the reaction of separated hydrogen (32) with nitrogen (52), in a conventional manner, to produce ammonia. Also disclosed is the reaction of a portion of the acetic acid (40) in a conventional manner with oxygen (46) and ethylene (44) to form vinyl acetate monomer (48). The nitrogen for the added ammonia capacity in a retrofit of an original methanol plant comprising an ammonia synthesis loop (33), and the oxygen (46) for the vinyl acetate monomer process (42), are obtained from a new air separation unit (50).
