An interrupt controller comprises a plurality of interrupt handling elements that are given different identification numbers for identification to which priorities are assigned. A first priority encoder accepts a plurality of level signals which are given different level numbers respectively representing the priorities assigned to the identification numbers, and then encodes the level number assigned to the highest-priority level signal included among all level signals at a low potential so as to generate an interrupt level number representing the encoded level number. Each interrupt handling element includes a current-sinking unit for sinking one of the level signals specified by the output of a level number register into a ground so that the specified level signal sinks to a low potential, and a comparator for comparing the level number represented by the output of the level number register with the interrupt level number from the first priority encoder to generate a comparison result signal indicating the comparison result. A second priority encoder accepts a plurality of comparison result signals from the plurality of interrupt handling elements, and then encodes the identification number assigned to one of the interrupt handling elements whose identification number has the highest priority and which is included among all interrupt handling elements each of which has furnished a comparison signal indicating that a corresponding level number is equal to the interrupt level number from the priority encoder so as to generate an interrupt identification number representing the encoded identification number.

A voice presence/absence discriminator can accurately determine the presence or absence of a voice in a frame that includes an uttered syllable head portion of an input voice and avoids performing erroneous determinations in bad environments such as those where background noise is of a high magnitude. In a sub-frame power calculation section, a sub-frame power Pm is calculated in units of sub-frames prepared by dividing a frame into four sub-frame portions. Based on this sub-frame power Pm, in a frame maximum power production section, a moving average (short-period average value) of the power of a sub-frame and the power of a sub-frame that precedes this sub-frame by one unit are calculated in units of a sub-frame and the short-period average values are compared with each other among the sub-frames that constitute the same frame to thereby select a maximum one of them as the frame maximum power Pf of this frame. As a result, even when voicing has been started from an ending half of the frame, there is no possibility that the frame maximum power Pf will be determined to be small in magnitude and this frame is reliably determined to be a voice presence frame in a voice presence determination portion.

A microprocessor comprises a control section for receiving a transfer instruction and transferring N-bits of M-bit data stored at a transfer-source address in a first memory to a transfer-destination address in a second memory in response to a received transfer instruction. In this microprocessor, the transfer of N-bits is performed with the execution of a single transfer instruction. Hence, the memory area required for storing the transfer instructions is reduced, and the residual memory area can be used for other purposes, which improves the efficiency in the use of the memory. The control section stores in the first memory of the microprocessor all the interim results obtained during the execution of a transfer instruction and outputs only the final result to the external memory, reducing the number of machine cycles required for data transfer between the microprocessor and the memory, and further reducing the execution time for data transfer in the microprocessor.

According to the present invention, there is provided a semiconductor synapse circuit comprising a semiconductor having an electrically charged carrier gas which is provided with a plurality of electrically isolated input channels providing narrowed areas 21 through 24 respectively for restricting the emitting direction of the electrically charged carriers from emitter electrodes 11 through 14 as the exit, gate electrodes 31 through 34 for applying an electrostatic potential for changing the traveling direction of the carriers emitted from the input channels, a single narrowed area 41 positioned opposed to the exits 21 through 24 of the input channels for passing through only the carriers traveling in the restricted direction and an acceptor electrode 40 for collecting the carriers which have passed through the single narrowed area.Since it utilizes the ballistic performance of the carriers, as compared with the conventionally proposed circuit, a synapse circuit whose area is greatly reduced and whose operating speed is improved can be realized. Thus, it becomes possible to further improve the degree of integration and reduce the delay time at the line.

A fuzzy inference method which improves reliability of an inference result by obtaining a variance which is a statistical value. The variance considers not only the value of a membership function derived from performing maximum operation (logical AND) but also a position of the function. These values are added and, according to this result, any inconsistency in fuzzy rules is detected.

A shifter for shifting a first data word by a bit width which is specified by a second data word. The shifter provides a sign extension so that the shifter can be used for arithmetic shifts. The shifter includes a first inverter for inverting the bits of the first data word only when the most significant bit of the data word is a predetermined datum. The output from the inverter is shifted, using a shifter array, by a bit width specified by the second data word. The output from the shifter array is provided to a second inverter. The second inverter inverts the output from the shifter array only if the most significant bit of the first data word is a predetermined datum.

A signal is received from a key having predetermined information. A resulting output signal is discriminated as to whether it represents the predetermined information. A predetermined anti-theft operation is actuated in response to output signals from first and second detectors indicating that at least one predetermined one of the covering members is closed and locked. Operation of the actuator is disabled in response to an output signal indicating that the received signal represents the predetermined information. The key includes a magnetic element forming first predetermined information, and light emitting elements for emitting infrared ray carrying second predetermined information. The predetermined anti-theft operation is actuated in response to an output signal from a third detector indicating that the key has been removed from a predetermined key hole, in addition to the output signals from the first and second detectors.

A perpendicular magnetic head of high recording and reproducing efficiency which integrally incorporates a step-up transformer. A main pole for picking up a reproduce magnetic flux from a recording medium and applying recording magnetic field thereto is formed of a magnetic thin film. A signal winding formed of a thin film is disposed in the immediate vicinity of the forward end of the main pole so as to have a high conversion sensitivity per turn with respect to the reproduce magnetic flux from the recording medium. The signal winding which itself constitutes a closed circuit interlinks a magnetic path of the step-up transformer, thereby forming a primary winding of the transformer. A secondary winding from which head output is taken out is wound in the magnetic path of the transformer.
