Abstract: An information processing apparatus using a neural network learning function has, in one embodiment, a computer system and a pattern recognition apparatus associated with each other via a communication cable. The computer system includes a learning section having a first neural network and serves to adjust the weights of connection therein as a result of learning with a learning data signal supplied thereto from the pattern recognition apparatus via the communication cable. The pattern recognition apparatus includes an associative output section having a second neural network and receives data on the adjusted weights from the learning section via the communication cable to reconstruct the second neural network with the data on the adjusted weights. The pattern recognition apparatus with the associative output section having the reconstructed second neural network performs pattern recognition independently of the computer system with the communication cable being brought into an electrical isolation mode.

Abstract: A recording/reproducing apparatus with an editing function delivers a control command to a tape running servo through a system controller of a system control system at the time of phase adjustment, thus to control a capstan motor. At this time, servo status information is delivered from the capstan motor to the system controller through the tape running servo. Whether or not adjustment of tracking is completed is judged in accordance with the above information to automatically carry out adjustment of tracking, thereby making it possible to automatically conduct, at the time of editing, adjustment of tracking, which was carried out by manual operation prior to editing work, without supplementing a new circuit.
