  • Patent number: 8850448
    Abstract: A dynamic reconfigurable heterogeneous processor architecture with load balancing and dynamic allocation method thereof is disclosed. The present invention uses a work control logic unit to detect load imbalance between different types of processors, and employs a number of dynamic reconfigurable heterogeneous processors to offload the heavier loaded processors. Hardware utilization of such design can be enhanced, and variation in computation needs among different computation phases can be better handled. To design the dynamic reconfigurable heterogeneous processors, a method of how to choose the basic building blocks and place the routing components is included. With the present invention, performance can be maximized at a minimal hardware cost. Hence the dynamic reconfigurable heterogeneous processor(s) so constructed and the load balancing and dynamic allocation method together will have the best performance at least cost.

  • Patent number: 8073849
    Abstract: A system for constructing data tag based on a concept relation network is disclosed. A tagging module collects input tags from users to create a tag table accordingly. A count of each tag used is calculated and compared with a predefined threshold value to generate two tag count tables. Relations between each tag and others are calculated. Additionally, an incremental concept is applied to maintain tags in the concept relation network.

  • Patent number: 7930298
    Abstract: A system for generating a ‘snapshot’ of a learning object is provided. An interface receives a target object and a user identification number. The target object corresponds to a category, comprising a plurality of sentences and multimedia data, wherein the sentences comprise at least one keyword. A learning object database comprises a plurality of learning objects and a user's historical learning record. Each of the learning objects corresponds to at least one category, and comprises at least one keyword. The user's historical learning record comprises a track record of learning objects used corresponding to the user identification number. A script preview unit selects at least one of the sentences of the target object according to the user's historical learning record corresponding to the user identification number. A multimedia preview unit selects one of the multimedia data of the target object, wherein the selected multimedia data is highly related to the selected sentence.
