  • Publication number: 20200380347
    Abstract: A neural network not requiring massive changes in configuration when changing the number of stages (number of levels) of the neural network. This neural network is provided with at least one neuron core 10 performing an analog multiply-accumulate operation and a weight-value-supply control unit 30 supplying the weight value to the neuron core 10. This neural network is subjected to control processing by a control-processor unit 40 controlling the supply of the weight value from said weight-value-supply control unit 30 in synchronization with the timing of the analog multiply-accumulate operation of the neuron core 10, and processing the data output from the neuron core 10 at every analog multiply-accumulate operation performed by said neuron core as serial data and/or parallel data.

  • Patent number: 7466912
    Abstract: A storage compartment for loading and unloading batteries of varying sizes efficiently. The storage compartment is internally equipped with a position regulating plate part on a ceiling part, an ejection urging part, a thickness judging part, and a contact point part on an end surface at the back side. The position regulating plate part is equipped with rotatable position regulating plates urged to protrude vertically into the storage compartment. When a battery is inserted, the position regulating plates guide the battery and cause it to be pressed to a bottom surface part of the storage compartment. Any one of the position regulating plates that does not abut the battery opposes the battery in a perpendicular direction and prohibits movement of the battery in the thickness direction.
