  • Patent number: 8222629
    Abstract: An electronic device using quantum dots, which comprises a ferromagnetic micro magnet and performs individual ESR control on each multi-quantum bit in a power saving way. The electronic device comprising the ferromagnetic micro magnet (10) disposed in the vicinity of the quantum dots (8, 9) of a plurality of aligned semiconductor quantum dots, wherein a strong magnetic field is applied so as to induce electron spin resonance (ESR), and the layout of the ferromagnetic micro magnet (10) is changed, thereby controlling the resonance frequency of the quantum dots (8, 9). Under the condition where the resonance frequency of each quantum dot (8, 9) is controlled, swapping of the electron spins in the quantum dots (8, 9) is performed, thereby creating a quantum bit (QUBIT) required for quantum calculation.

  • Patent number: 7149904
    Abstract: The invention provides a power control device for a computing unit, which is optimal for saving power. When MPEG data is supplied, a CPU starts decoding the MPEG data. The MPEG data is decoded by independently decoding video data and music data. When decoding the MPEG data, in each operation unit included in the MPEG data, the clock frequency of the CPU can be adjusted so as to reduce the power consumption of the CPU on the basis of the data length of the operation unit for a period during which the CPU performs an operation on the data in the operation unit.

  • Patent number: 7096312
    Abstract: The invention provides a data transfer device for multidimensional memory capable of performing an efficient SIMD operation and suitable for transferring data between a multidimensional memory and a one-dimensional memory. A DMAC reads data of a rectangular area in a logical two-dimensional space of a two-dimensional data access memory, and writes the read data on a one-dimensional data access memory. Further, it reads data from the one-dimensional data access memory, and writes the read data on the two-dimensional data access memory, such that the data are arranged in the rectangular area in the logical two-dimensional space of the two-dimensional data access memory.

  • Patent number: 5652760
    Abstract: An error rate measuring apparatus includes a demodulator, and data from the demodulator is applied to a decoding circuit in which an error bit number is evaluated for each of a BIC portion and a packet portion. In the BIC portion, if a synchronization is settled, the error bit number is evaluated by comparing received BICs and a predetermined BIC pattern, and if the synchronization is not settled, the error bit number is determined as eight (8) bits. In the packet portion, if a frame synchronization is settled and decoding is successful, the error bit number is calculated by comparing data before decoding and data after decoding with each other. If the frame synchronization is settled but the decoding is unsuccessful, a presumed error bit number is set according to the number of packets being decoded successfully in a first time horizontal direction, and if the frame synchronization is not settled, a predetermined error bit number is set.
