Abstract: In one embodiment, an image processing system includes a memory and processing circuitry. The memory is configured to store a predetermined program. The processing circuitry is configured, by executing the predetermined program, to perform processing on an input image by exploiting a neural network having an input layer, an output layer, and an intermediate layer provided between the input layer and the output layer, the input image being inputted to the input layer, and adjust an internal parameter based on data related to the input image, while performing the processing on the input image after training of the neural network, the internal parameter being at least one internal parameter of at least one node included in the intermediate layer, and the input parameter having been calculated by the training of the neural network.

Abstract: A 0-1 combinatorial-optimization-problem is solved under constraint-conditions expressed using inequality expressions. A solution-finding device includes an updating-unit and an output-unit. For each of plural elements associated with first- and second-variables, the updating-unit sequentially updates, for each unit-time between initial-timing and end-timing, the first-variable and the second-variable alternatively. The output-unit outputs the solution of the 0-1 combinatorial-optimization-problem based on the first-variable of each of the plural elements at the end-timing.

Abstract: Disclosed is a coating method using a plasma shock wave, the method including the steps of: irradiating a pulse laser to a first surface of a mixed layer obtained by mixing powders and resin to generate a plasma, the mixed layer being formed on a second surface of a substance to be coated; striking the powders on the second surface by using a shock wave of the plasma; and forming a coat of the powders on the second surface.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, there is provided a non-volatile semiconductor storage device including a memory cell and a control unit. The memory cell has a gate electrode including a control gate and a charge storage region on a semiconductor substrate and has a channel region under the gate electrode in the semiconductor substrate. The control unit, during an erase operation where electric charges written in the charge storage region are extracted to the channel region, periodically varies a voltage which is to be applied between the control gate and the channel region.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for optically communicating data between a stationary member and a rotating member, wherein a transmitter, disposed on the rotating member, is provided for transmitting an optical beam therefrom at an angle with respect to the rotating member the angle being fixed during transmission of the optical beam, a receiver, disposed on the stationary member, is provided for receiving the optical beam, and a reflector, disposed on the stationary member, is provided for reflecting the optical beam to the receiver at all times when the optical beam is incident on the reflector.

Abstract: A linear actuator comprises a pair of central poles symmetrically arranged parallel to the direction of motion of a carriage for transducers. Four permanent magnets are disposed around each central pole leaving predetermined gaps. Four ambient poles and one terminal pole surround the permanent magnets and each central pole. Two driving coils are slidably movable in the predetermined gaps therebetween. Upper and lower flat plate members support the driving coils so they may be fixed to the carriage. The central poles each have a rectangular cross-section, the permanent magnets surrounding the exterior four walls of the central poles leaving the predetermined gaps in which the driving coils are disposed. The ambient poles and terminal poles surround the central poles and form closed magnetic circuits. The flat plate members of the carriage are composed of ceramic material. The driving coils, arranged inside the predetermined gaps, are mounted at the ends of the flat plate members.
