Abstract: A calculation processing apparatus includes a monitor, a CPU, a memory and a hard disk. The hard disk stores an initial program input from outside, a network creation program, a network modifying program, network information, node operation definition, and learning variables. The CPU executes the network creation program, and creates network information related to a network representing an algorithm structure of the initial program. Further, the CPU executes the network modifying program and modifies the network information based on the result of calculation by the network, using a learning algorithm.

Abstract: An information processing system is provided which includes a plurality of networked relay nodes and a management node. Each of the relay nodes includes a transfer unit for transferring a received packet to another node in accordance with route control information, a storage unit for storing process rules, determination logic for determining whether the received packet is a process-target packet serving as a target to be processed in the relay node, processing logic for, upon receiving a process packet at the relay node, executing a process corresponding process-identifying information included in the packet on process data included in the packet in accordance with the process rules, and determination logic for determining a destination to which a result obtained by processing the process data is transferred. The process-target packet includes process-identifying information indicating a content of a process to be executed, and process-target data serving as a target of the process.

Abstract: According to the present invention, when controlling a heater in an air-fuel ratio sensor, a crack of sensor element due to an exhaust condensed water is certainly avoided. To this end, an element temperature is detected by measuring an impedance of the sensor element and a power supply amount to the heater for heating the sensor element is feedback controlled so that the element temperature reaches a target temperature. Here, the target temperature is set to a lower side temperature, compared to other conditions, on a condition that a wall temperature of an exhaust system is low and a water content in the exhaust is condensed in the exhaust system. Or, an initial value of the power supply amount is set corresponding to the element temperature before the start of power supply to the heater.
