Abstract: In an artificial intelligence system for image
recognition, a global image of an object is input from a
camera or other optical pick-up device (10), and is
processed in a global image processing means (14), which
performs analytical processing on the global image by
extracting global characteristics of the input image and
evaluating consistency of the extracted global
characteristics. Simultaneously, the image data is
processed in a local image processing means (15) which
undertakes analytical processing on a plurality of local
images defining local portions of the image to be
recognized. The local image processing means (15) is
constructed by plural modules (21), each further defined by
sub-modules (R0,R1,R2), which conduct respective analyses
corresponding to local images having characteristics useful
in recognizing the global image, wherein each local
processor (15) extracts characteristics of an input image
and evaluates consistency of the extracted characteristic
with the object to be recognized. Importantly, the global
image processing means (14) receives inputs from the local
modules (21), and deactivates functions of local modules
(21) which are inconsistent with the global
characteristics, while activating and promoting functions
of local modules (21) which are consistent with the global
characteristics. Through top-down control from the global
image processor (14), as well as inter-module signals
between respective local processing modules (21), since
inconsistent processes are quickly discovered, and
deactivated by deactivation signals, it becomes possible to
reduce the computational burden while still enabling image
recognition in a reduced time period.

Abstract: In a distributed shared memory system, clusters of
symmetric multi-processors are connected to each other by a
network. Each symmetric multi-processor includes a
plurality of processors, a memory having addresses, and an
input/output interface to interconnect the processors. A
software implemented method enables data sharing between
the clusters of symmetric multi-processors using variable
sized quantities of data called blocks. A set of the
addresses of the memories are designated as virtual shared
addresses to store shared data, and a portion of the
virtual shared addresses are allocated to store a shared
data structure as one or more blocks. The size of a
particular allocated block can vary for different shared
data structures. Each block includes an integer number of
lines, and each line includes a predetermined number of
bytes of shared data. Directory information of a
particular block is stored in the memory of a processor
designated as the home of the block. The directory
information includes the size of the particular block, the
identity of the processor that last modified the data in
the particular block, and the identity of a processor
having a copy of the block.

Abstract: A semiconductor integrated circuit device (20) has a command decoder (1) for issuing a
control command (CNT) in accordance with a supplied control signal, a DRAM core
(3), and a timing adjusting circuit (22) for supplying the control command, set active
for a predetermined period, as a DRAM control signal to the DRAM core (3). The
timing adjusting circuit (22) generates n different clocks that are respectively shifted in
phase with respect to a supplied reference clock (CLKi), and generates the DRAM
control signal (CNT) by setting the control command active in a prescribed operation
cycle for only a period stating at a first predetermined clock pulse of a first clock of
the n clocks and ending at a second predetermined clock pulse of a second clock of the
n clocks. In this way, timing design with relatively high accuracy of adjustment can be

Abstract: An element X whose ionic radius is larger than Si and an element Y
whose ionic radius is smaller than Si are added to an Si crystal growing
atmosphere at an atomic ratio of  X:Y=1:(1+α)  or  X:Y=(1+α):1  with the proviso
of α being a value of 1-5. When Si is double-doped with the elements X and Y,
number of carriers is increased up to 10 20 -10 22 /cm 3 . The double-doping may
be adaptable to any of a pull method, an epitaxy method or a selective
diffusion method. The double-doping remarkably increases number of
carriers, so as to produce metallic Si which can be useful itself as a wiring
material due to its low resistivity.

Abstract: Method for the change of a radio bearer in a digital telecommunication system
comprising a radiomobile unit (PP) and a fixed unit (RFP) connected between them on
at least a bearer in the following, labeled with X. When a radio unit (PP or RFP)
detects a bad connection quality on bearer X between said radiomobile unit (PP) and
fixed unit (RFP), the method applies with the execution in sequence of the following
steps:
   a) listening of a new frequency on at least one of the time slots used in
reception with the purpose to identify a second not interfered bearer, in the following,
labelled with Y;   b) sending from the requiring radio unit to the interacting radio unit a
message requiring the activation of the said second bearer (Y);   c) transferring of all communications between both radio units from the
first bearer X to the second bearer Y as soon as the requiring radio unit receives a
specific confirmation message by the interactive radio unit;   d) return to the listening step if the confirmation message is not received.    
     The invention has the advantage of enabling the handover of a radio bearer
changing only the frequency, but maintaining the same transceiving time slots without
the need of an additional time slot which, in this way, is available for new
communications.
