    摘要: A data line pair and a strobe line pair are provided between first and second chips to exchange data therebetween. The first chip includes an output circuit and a controller for controlling the output circuit. The second chip includes an input circuit. For example, the output circuit supplies a direct current from a power supply to one of the data lines. Then, the input circuit feeds back the received current to the output circuit through a pair of terminal resistors and the other data line. Subsequently, the output circuit supplies the fed back direct current to one of the strobe lines. In response, the input circuit feeds back the received current again to the output circuit through another pair of terminal resistors and the other strobe line. And then the fed back current is drained to the ground. Thus, compared to driving the data and strobe line pairs separately with the same amount of current supplied, the current dissipation can be halved. In this manner, the present invention is applicable to reduction of current dissipation when data should be transmitted at high speeds through multiple data bus pairs that are driven with a current supplied.

    摘要: Disclosed is an ATM switching apparatus capable of reducing a probability an IAM acceptance being rejected due to a difference in bandwidth acquiring algorithm. The ATM switching apparatus is constructed such that when receiving an IAR due to the difference in bandwidth calculation algorithm for the IAM indicating a use of a certain VPC, a calculated bandwidth value is set in an estimated free bandwidth value about the VPC within a bandwidth management table, a value given by Calculation Bandwidth Value/Free bandwidth Value is set in a ratio, and the VPC is selected by using not the free bandwidth value but the estimated free bandwidth value (=Free Bandwidth Value×Ratio) when transmitting the IAM. It is another contrivance that when the free bandwidth value changes, the estimated free bandwidth value is also changed to establish “Estimated Free Bandwidth Value=Free Bandwidth Value×Ratio” without changing the ratio.

    摘要: In an electrophotographic printing apparatus, a fixing device heat-roller control system configured for specially controlling the heat roller fixing temperature during consecutive dual-sided copying of a large number of sheets. The electrophotographic printing apparatus in particular is adapted for stack-less conveyance from the fixing unit of sheets onto one side of which the copy toner image has been fixed in dual-sided copying, switching the sheets back to image reproduction unit. The fixing unit has a heat roller incorporating an internal heater and a press roller in pressing contact with the heat roller. The fixing device heat-roller control system includes a sensor associated with the heat roller for detecting its superficial temperature, a switching element for supplying/cutting off voltage to the internal heater, and a temperature control unit connected to the sensor and the switching element. Based on detection output from the sensor, the temperature control unit controls the switching element to maintain target heating temperatures in the heat roller, such that in consecutive dual-sided printing a number of sheets, for every multiple of a predetermined printing sheet count, the target heating temperature in the heat roller lowers in predetermined stages to a predetermined temperature, below an initial target heating temperature for toner-image fixing sheets in single-sided printing.

    摘要: A pattern recognition scheme using probabilistic models that are capable of reducing a calculation cost for the output probability while improving a recognition performance even when a number of mixture component distributions of respective states is small, by arranging distributions with low calculation cost and high expressive power as the mixture component distribution. In this pattern recognition scheme, a probability of each probabilistic model expressing features of each recognition category with respect to each input feature vector derived from each input signal is calculated, where the probabilistic model represents a feature parameter subspace in which feature vectors of each recognition category exist and the feature parameter subspace is expressed by using mixture distributions of one-dimensional discrete distributions with arbitrary distribution shapes which are arranged in respective dimensions. Then, a recognition category expressed by a probabilistic model with a highest probability among a plurality of probabilistic models is outputted as a recognition result.

    摘要: A model adaptation scheme in the pattern recognition, which is capable of realizing a fast, real time model adaptation and improving the recognition performance. This model adaptation scheme determines a change in a parameter expressing a condition of pattern recognition and probabilistic model training between an initial condition at a time of acquiring training data used in obtaining a model parameter of each probabilistic model and a current condition at a time of actual recognition. Then, the probabilistic models are adapted by obtaining a model parameter after a condition change by updating a model parameter before a condition change according to the determined change, when the initial condition and the current condition are mismatching. The adaptation processing uses a Taylor expansion expressing a change in the model parameter in terms of a change in the parameter expressing the condition.

    摘要: In an alerting device for a pager, when a call with a message is received within a predetermined period of time of reception of an initial reception of a call including a message identical to that of the received message, the device conducts an alerting operation to help the user of the pager easily recognize the call. After the predetermined period of time, the device performs an ordinary notification to thereby minimize the current consumption. When a radio section receives a signal including data which matches an address assigned to the pager, a time counter initiates measuring the predetermined period of time and a decoder stores a message obtained from the signal in an RAM. When a next message is received, the decoder compares the received message with the stored one. When "matching" occurs between the messages, the decoder drives a loudspeaker with a large volume or a vibration motor with an increased amplitude when the time counter is measuring the predetermined period of time. After lapse of the predetermined period of time, the decoder drives the loudspeaker with an ordinary volume or a vibration motor with a usual amplitude.
