A photograph collating system for combining and collating negative films and prints. The system includes a conveyer mechanism (70) extending through a negative film intake station (71) for receiving the negative films from a negative film outlet (60), a print intake station (73) for receiving the prints from a print outlet (50), and a collating station (74) for collating the negative films and prints.The conveyer mechanism (70) includes trays (100) for transporting the negative films (2) and the prints (3), a guide circuit (80) defining a transport passage of the trays, and a drive device (90) for moving the trays along the guide circuit (80). Each of the trays having moved to the collating station (74) is disengaged from the drive device by contact with a preceding one of the trays in a direction of transport.

In order to reduce the capacity of a character ROM without reducing the character information, n-bit bit pattern data and sequence data having information necessary for composing n-bit m components are stored in first memory means (character ROM). Second memory means has addresses corresponding to each display position on the screen and holds addresses for the first memory means as a data. In accordance with the address from the second memory means and the sequence data from the first memory means, address modifying means produces an address of a scanning line with respect to pertinent character for the first memory means. According to this address, the bit pattern data is read out from the first memory means.
摘要:
A relay device of relaying a communication packet is disclosed, which comprises: an input module configured to receive the communication packet as an input; a buffer configured to have a plurality of queues and temporarily accumulated the received communication packet; a sorter configured to sort the received communication packet to one of the plurality of queues, depending on a specific value obtained by a predetermined function that gives an aggregate output from an input which is transfer information regarding transfer of the communication packet; and a band controller configured to control a bandwidth for each of the plurality of queues and output communication packets accumulated in the plurality of queues for transmission of the communication packets. This ensures the quality of service, while saving the capacity of the buffer used for the queues.

A network routing device according to the invention transmits a packet via a second port based upon destination information included in the packet received via a first port referring to a routing table. In addition, the network routing device calculates beforehand a third port which is a transfer destination when a fault occurs in a destination connected to the second port. Further, the network routing device holds scenario information including a combination of the second port and the third port and updates the routing table based upon the scenario information when a fault is detected in either of the ports.

摘要:
A data processor being provided with a microdecoder which decodes instruction codes comprising two operation code parts, a source operand specifying part and a destination operand specifying part, wherein an optional bit area of source data (a register of a general register file or a memory) is inserted in an optional bit area (determined by the value of the first operation code part) of a destination register according to the decoding result, and an optional bit area (determined by the value of the second operation code part) of a source register is extracted and stored in an optional bit area of destination (a register of the general register file or the memory), thereby making it possible to "process the insertion and extraction operations to and from optional byte positions of registers" at a high speed with short instruction code size.
摘要:
A semiconductor integrated circuit device is provided which include a plurality of cell columns each having a number of unit cells previously fabricated on a semiconductor substrate selected from the plural kinds of unit cells which are formed in desired circuits by electrically connecting circuit devices previously arranged. Each column includes at least one kind of unit cell of a dynamic circuit which has a node in a floating state during the operation of the cell unit. A fixed potential shield layer is also provided on the cell columns so as to cover the nodes of the dynamic circuits. By virtue of this, a wiring area for electrically connecting the desired cell units can be located between the cell columns and above the shield layer. In other words, signal wirings in the wiring area can pass over the nodes of the dynamic circuits. without adverse parasitic effects. The unit cell can also be provided with a precharge circuit comprising a standard cell and an in-cell wiring layer. Further, clock input terminals of the unit cells which are provided with a precharge circuit can be divided into plural groups, with all of said clock input terminals belonging to the same group and having equal load capacitances being connected. Clock buffer cells can be provided for supplying clock signals to the clock signal wirings for each group.
