Abstract: Functions can be flexibly changed according to various use cases. An information processing system according to an embodiment includes a sensor data acquisition unit that acquires sensing data acquired by a sensor, a processing unit including an inference unit that executes inference using the sensing data as an input, and a switching unit that switches the inference unit according to a use case.

Abstract: A data transmission device includes a transmission processing unit that transmits sensing data of a detection target in response to occurrence of an event that satisfies a condition specified as an event related to the detection target, in which the sensing data is data including type information indicating a type of sensing data, in a case where whether or not the type of sensing data is a specific type is determined, and as a result, the type of sensing data is an unspecific type, the transmission processing unit performs processing of storing unspecific type information indicating that the type of sensing data is an unspecific type in the type information, and generating and transmitting the sensing data including text data in which detection result information indicating a detection result of the detection target by text and type information indicating a data type of the detection result information are stored.

Abstract: A network of nodes is organized into a data pipeline for one or more applications that require image understanding. The nodes are configurable to form different data pipelines, depending on the application. The process of configuring a data pipeline from the nodes may be standardized. In one implementation, the nodes have various capabilities, which may include sensor functions (e.g., image capture) and image understanding functions (e.g., object detection and recognition). Based on descriptions of the capabilities of the nodes, various nodes are selected for inclusion in the data pipeline and the interconnections between the selected nodes to form the data pipeline are also determined. Control data is transmitted to the selected nodes to form the data pipeline. The control data specifies the sensor and/or image understanding functions for the selected nodes according to each node's role in the data pipeline and also specifies the interconnections between the selected nodes.

Abstract: When a tape cassette is mounted, a tape drive apparatus judges whether the tape cassette is of a first mode (normal mode) or a second mode (multi-partition mode) based on one or both of management information that is read out from the magnetic tape and management information that is read out from a memory (MIC) incorporated in the tape cassette. The tape drive apparatus then an performs an operation setting in accordance with the mode thus judged.

Abstract: A data recording device and a data reproducing device for appending data in a data storage device without requiring that data be read up to the last group directly before an end-of-data area. A system controller controls a recording data processing system, a data recording/reproducing unit, a playback data processing system and a tracking control system for recording the identification information of the last group in an end-of-data (EOD) area and for reading out the identification information of the last group from the EOD area.
