The present invention provides a statistical modeling approach to automatic linguistic indexing of photographic images. The invention uses categorized images to train a dictionary of hundreds of statistical models each representing a concept. Images of any given concept are regarded as instances of a stochastic process that characterizes the concept. To measure the extent of association between an image and a textual description associated with a predefined concept, the likelihood of the occurrence of the image based on the characterizing stochastic process is computed. A high likelihood indicates a strong association between the textual description and the image. The invention utilizes two-dimensional multi-resolution hidden Markov models that demonstrate accuracy and high potential in linguistic indexing of photographic images.

By applying an AC pulse to a gate of a transistor which easily deteriorates, a shift in threshold voltage of the transistor is suppressed. However, in a case where amorphous silicon is used for a semiconductor layer of a transistor, the occurrence of a shift in threshold voltage naturally becomes a problem for a transistor which constitutes a part of circuit that generates an AC pulse. A shift in threshold voltage of a transistor which easily deteriorates and a shift in threshold voltage of a turned-on transistor are suppressed by signal input to a gate electrode of the transistor which easily deteriorates through the turned-on transistor. In other words, a structure for applying an AC pulse to a gate electrode of a transistor which easily deteriorates through a transistor to a gate electrode of which a high potential (VDD) is applied, is included.

A circuit capable of reducing a consumption current is provided for a digital display device composed of unipolar TFTs. There is provided a latch circuit for holding a digital video signal. According to the latch circuit, when the digital video signal is inputted to an input electrode of a TFT (101), a non-inverting output signal is outputted from an output electrode of the TFT (101) and an inverting output signal is outputted from output electrodes of TFTs (102 and 103). Two line outputs of non-inversion and inversion are obtained. Thus, when a buffer located in a subsequent stage is operated, a period for which a direct current path is produced between a high potential and a low potential of a power source can be shortened, thereby contributing to reduction in a consumption current.

A gate region of the nonvolatile memory device is formed as a stack structure including a tunnel oxide layer, a trapping layer, a blocking layer and a control gate electrode. The trapping layer is formed of a high-k dielectric having a higher dielectric constant than that of the tunnel oxide layer. When the trapping layer is formed of high-k dielectric, an EOT in a same thickness can be reduced, and excitation of electrons of the control gate electrode to the tunnel oxide layer due to a high potential barrier relative to the tunnel oxide layer is prevented so that program and erase voltages can be further reduced. As such, a problem that the tunnel oxide layer is damaged due to the conventional high program and erase voltages can be solved by reducing the program and erase voltages, and program and erase speeds of the transistor can be further improved.

A transfer gate or pass gate circuit for transferring logic signals between nodes for a range of available high-potential supply levels. The primary transfer gate is designed to protect against potentials that either exceed either a high-potential or a low-potential level or that undershoot such potential levels. For overshoot (overvoltage) tolerance, this is achieved by coupling a NMOS transistor in parallel with a pair of PMOS transistors that are coupled in series. All three transistors are located between two nodes, either of which can be the input or the output of the transfer gate. The NMOS transistor is designed to be larger than the PMOS transistors and carries most of the transfer capability. The smaller PMOS transistors are designed to eliminate potential drops that would otherwise occur with a single NMOS transistor or with a complementary pair of transistors. For undershoot (undervoltage) tolerance, a PMOS transistor is coupled in parallel with a pair of NMOS transistors that are coupled in series.
