摘要:
Conventional independent component analysis has had a problem that performance deteriorates when the number of sound sources exceeds the number of microphones. Conventional l1 norm minimization method assumes that noises other than sound sources do not exist, and is problematic in that performance deteriorates in environments in which noises other than voices such as echoes and reverberations exist. The present invention considers the power of a noise component as a cost function in addition to an l1 norm used as a cost function when the l1 norm minimization method separates sounds. In the l1 norm minimization method, a cost function is defined on the assumption that voice has no relation to a time direction. However, in the present invention, a cost function is defined on the assumption that voice has a relation to a time direction, and because of its construction, a solution having a relation to a time direction is easily selected.

There is disclosed an acoustic pointing device that is capable of performing pointing manipulation without putting any auxiliary equipment on a desk. The acoustic pointing includes a microphone array that retains plural microphone elements; an A/D converter that converts analog sound pressure data into digital sound pressure data; a buffering that stores the digital sound pressure data; a direction of arrival estimation unit that executes estimation of a sound source direction of a transient sound based on a correlation of the sound between the microphone elements obtained by the digital sound pressure data; a noise estimation unit that estimates a noise level in the digital sound pressure data; an SNR estimation unit that estimates a rate of a signal component based on the noise level and the digital sound pressure data; a power calculation unit that computes and outputs an output signal from the rate of a signal component; an integration unit that integrates the sound source direction and the output signal to specify a sound source position; and a control unit that converts, based on data in a DB of screen conversion, the specified sound source position into one point on a screen of a display device.

In a composite system in which a plurality of data base systems and data communication are treated as respective subsystems. At the occurrence of a fault in one subsystem, other subsystems are allowed to operate continuously, thereby facilitating recovery after a faulty subsystem has started up. A controller performs as to which data base system a transaction in execution has accessed so that the range of failure is confined, thereby facilitating the fault recovery. The check points of two processings including updating of information in the memory and accumulation of the updated information in the journal are detected so that the need of journals for information occurring earlier than the check point is eliminated, and a check point dump is acquired without waiting for the end of a transaction which has been active at the check point.

A multiple processor system composed of a plurality of instruction processors allows a plurality of its subsystems for performing data processing in each unit to be operable simultaneously with and parallel to each other in each of the instruction processors. The multiple processor system has a processor designation table and a control processing subsystem. As the processor designation table specifies correspondence relation between a subsystem accessing to each input-output resource and the instruction processor executing the subsystem, the processing control subsystem transfers control of the processing to the instruction processor to be designated by the processor designation table in accordance with the subsystem to be used with reference to the processor designation table during execution of the data processing.

Provided is a computer system capable of cutting the cost of running and managing a company network and improving the security of the network by reducing wrong settings and skipped settings due to human factor. The computer system has switches which constitute a network, a management computer which is connected to the network and manages the network, and clients which are connected to the switches. The management computer sets each switch such that client authentication is executed at port provided in the switch that can be connected to the client. The client authentication is processing of verifying whether the client has the right to connect to the network.

A routing/switching processing unit rewrites the inbound multicast address or the source address and the destination multicast address of the inbound flow identifier of a received packet and forwards the received packet to only output ports corresponding to a resulting outbound multicast address or flow identifier. A conversion table stores first multicast addresses or flow identifiers designated by transmission sources, second multicast addresses or flow identifiers to be used for forwarding to users data transmitted from the transmission sources, and signal port IDs of signal ports to which the users are connected. A multicast packet processing unit converts the first multicast address or flow identifier of a received multicast packet to a second multicast packet or flow identifier by referring to the conversion table, and forwards the address-converted packet to network interfaces having signal ports corresponding to the second multicast packet or flow identifier.

The invention reduces the initial setting cost, the management cost, and reconfiguration cost of QoS guarantee for network devices. A management device has a control unit and the storage unit. The control unit obtains the number of terminals contained in the network system and connection relations of the network system at the time of initial setting for QoS guarantee. A control unit stores an operation policy which an administrator inputs. The control unit creates QoS control configuration for each connection path between adjacent two network devices using the number of terminals in the network system, the connection relations, and the operation policy. And QoS control configuration is the information for controlling the QoS guarantee of network devices. And the control unit sets the QoS control configuration in the network devices.

A packet communication device, which provides a modular node capable of setting up the operation of the node at a time without updating a program in the node body when a new functional module is installed, sends a process setting content, requested by a configuration file specified by a manager, to functional modules as an offering message and determines whether or not the functional modules can process the content of the offering message. Based on the answers of offering, a configuration processing program of a node determines a functional module, to which processing it to be assigned, according to a predetermined method.

To provide a packet communication device to which a function can be added by a functional module and that realizes high throughput and low apparatus cost. According to this invention, there is provided a packet communication device that receives a packet and transfers the packet received in a network, the packet communication device including: a network interface for transmitting the packet to and receiving the packet from the network; a path retrieving unit for judging a transfer order on the basis of the received packet and giving an identifier indicating the transfer order judged to the packet; a functional module interface to which a functional module that applies predetermined processing to the packet is connected; a module management unit for managing the functional module; and a switch for connecting the network interface and the functional module interface.
摘要:
A computer system including a plurality of shared resources to be used exclusively by a plurality of tasks. Upon occurrence of an interrupt, execution of the task running at that time is suspended to allow the interrupt task to be executed. After execution of the interrupt task, one of the tasks remaining in the execution waiting state is selected for execution. A method of scheduling tasks with priority to the task locking a shared resource includes the steps of registering a task identifier of a task being executed upon locking of the task to a resource, invalidating the registered identifier of the task when that task releases the shared resource from the locked state, deciding whether or not a valid task identifier representing the task which was running by locking the shared resource is registered when a task to be executed next is to be selected after execution of the interrupt task, and selecting the task designated by the task identifier, if registered, to thereby select the task as the one to be executed with priority.
