Abstract: In a radio communication apparatus for use in carrying out a receiving operation of selectively receiving a call signal specific to the apparatus, a counter is counted up one by one to produce a count each time when the call signal is received. The count is successively compared with a plurality of threshold values by a control section to determine a controllable perceptual notifying mode which may be at least one of an audible and a visual notifying modes. In the audible notifying mode, the control section varies a volume of an audible tone through a tone generator in dependency upon the count.

Such variations of the audible tone and/or the visual displays are helpful for notifying a possessor of reception of the call signal.

Abstract: A plurality of elemental processors each include a local memory for storing data and task programs and an execution section for executing the task programs. A communications section transfers data among the processors. In a method of parallel processing with these elemental processors, a task program is executed in one of the processors.

The detection is based on predetermined information which is stored in the local memory of the processor which performs the task program and indicates which of the other processors will need the data. The detection also determines which of the other processors that will require access to the data are ready to receive the data.

Abstract: In accessing a memory, each element processor executes a program constructed so as to designate an address belonging to a predetermined local address area for each element processor. When a memory write instruction is executed by an element processor, it is detected if the memory address designated by the instruction coincides with a predetermined address. If detected, a predetermined address belonging to a local address space of another element processor and assigned to the first-mentioned predetermined address, and the data written in response to the write instruction, are sent to the other element processor to instruct the data to be written therein as a copy data. A next task to be executed is decided independently for each element processor.

Abstract: A system is provided for producing image signals of a photographed subject image by a solid state image sensing device and for producing a brightness signal and line sequential color difference signals from the image signal. The subject image is sensed by the image sensing device which has a color filter formed thereon. First and second horizontal scanning lines of picture elements are alternately arranged and the picture elements are opposed to filter elements of the color filter. The first horizontal scanning lines separately transmit at least red light and green light and the second horizontal scanning lines transmit at least blue light and green light, to thereby obtain color image signals. The image signal thus obtained are signal processed to produce the line sequential color difference signals R-Y and B-Y. With this signal processing, the system can produce the image signals including the line sequential color difference signals by a simplified arrangement without impairing the color productivity.
