20130173966 | MEMORY CONTROLLER AND MEMORY ACCESS SYSTEM - A controller section outputs a first signal and a second signal holding a phase relationship with the first signal. The second signal is received by a memory I/F section via a FIFO memory of an error detecting section. The memory I/F section performs timing adjustment for the first and second signals, outputs the first and second signals after the timing adjustment to a memory, and loops back the second signal. A data comparator compares the looped-back second signal with the original second signal outputted from the FIFO memory and corresponding to the looped-back signal. | 07-04-2013 |

20110282913 | DIALOGUE CONTROL SYSTEM, METHOD AND COMPUTER READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM, AND MULTIDIMENSIONAL ONTOLOGY PROCESSING SYSTEM, METHOD AND COMPUTER READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM - A dialogue control system that uses an ontology that systematically expresses domain knowledge representing concepts and relationships between concepts to determine questions for a user and implements the questions, and implements a dialogue in accordance with received user answers. One or more dimension-classified ontologies and a basic ontology are stored, a concept from a user response is specified as a condition, and one or a plural number of the dimension-classified ontologies that meet the specified condition are fetched. The content of the fetched dimension-classified ontology/ies is overwritten on the basic ontology, in order according to dimension priorities from the dimension-classified ontology with the lowest dimension priority, and a multidimensional ontology is generated. The dialogue control system uses this multidimensional ontology to control the dialogue. | 11-17-2011 |
