  • Publication number: 20220188616
    Abstract: In a data processing apparatus, an M×M data processing unit performs M×M convolution processing using data from an input buffer unit. An N×N data processing unit performs N×N convolution processing using the data from the input buffer unit. A first output buffer unit stores one of results of processing by the M×M data processing unit and the N×N data processing unit, and outputs the same to the input buffer unit. A second output buffer unit stores the other of the results of processing by the M×M data processing unit and the N×N data processing unit. The second output buffer unit transfers the result of processing to the external memory.

  • Patent number: 8646789
    Abstract: A torsion beam type suspension device is provided in which a trailing arm part and a torsion beam part are formed as a unit by press-forming a tailored blank material in which end parts of plate materials having different thicknesses are butt-welded via a weld part. A weld part of the tailored blank material comprises a U-shaped cross section in which front and rear side wall portions are connected via a bottom wall portion, and a pair of cutouts are formed at the edge of each of the side wall portions at positions sandwiching the weld part, and therefore, when the torsion beam part is twistedly deformed, shifting the concentration of stress from the weld part to the cutout enables peeling apart of the weld end part to be prevented and the durability of the torsion beam type suspension device to be enhanced.
