A strap is provided with a core having a core main body having a plurality of members including at least a member having flexibility is stacked, and a skin member surrounding the core. The core main body is formed of a variable performance member and a special member bonded to each other with thermocompression bonding to be stacked in a face-back direction of a timepiece. The variable performance member has flexibility and temperature dependency, and is formed including plastic.

Strap and timepiece

A bus system includes a bus module which performs data transfer between a master module and a slave module and a detection module which detects transfer of transmission data from the master module to the bus module. When the bus module is shifted to a power saving mode and then is returned from the power saving mode, a power control module delays release of the power saving mode until a plurality of data transfer requests is detected. Accordingly, a power saving effect can be improved in the bus system.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and program

A bus system comprises a plurality of bus modules each for performing data transfer between a master module and a slave module. A power control module controls transition to a power-saving mode of each bus module based on communication with the plurality of bus modules. The power control module comprises a plurality of control modules corresponding to the plurality of bus modules respectively. Each control module performs communication with the corresponding bus module using power control signals.

Information processing apparatus, data transfer apparatus, and control method for data transfer apparatus

A data transferring apparatus includes a receiving unit configured to receive a transfer request containing attribute information that indicates a type of data transfer, a buffer configured to store the transfer requests received by the receiving unit, a storing unit configured to associate the attribute information with a first identifier and store the attribute information, and a sending unit configured to preferentially transmit, out of the plurality of transfer requests stored in the buffer, a transfer request containing attribute information that corresponds to the attribute information stored in the storing unit, wherein the sending unit is configured to transmit the first identifier associated with the attribute information that corresponds to the attribute information contained in the transfer request in place of the attribute information of the transfer request.

Data transferring apparatus and data transferring method

Transfer efficiency of data transfer in a single semiconductor device or between semiconductor devices is improved. A table is created by associating a combination of attribute information involved in data transfer with an identifier. When attribute information registered in the table is received, the attribute information is replaced with an identifier so that the information is compressed and transferred. Accordingly, transfer efficiency is increased in transmission or reception of a request and a response.

Data transfer apparatus, data transfer method, and inter-chip communication system

The disclosure provides a technique of enabling to confirm the state of a partner apparatus in high-speed serial communication. An information processing apparatus including a master and a slave which is connected with the master by a plurality of signal lines to be able to make serial communication therewith, the master comprises: a decision unit configured to decide a change in signal level of a data signal line, and a switching unit arranged between the data signal line and the decision unit, and configured to switch whether to invert a logical value based on the fact that the decision unit has decided a change in signal level of the data signal line.

Information processing apparatus, serial communication system, method of initialization of communication therefor, and serial communication apparatus

The disclosure provides a technique of enabling to appropriately confirm the state of a partner apparatus in high-speed serial communication. An information processing apparatus includes a master and a slave which is connected with the master by a plurality of signal lines. The master and the slave are configured to perform a handshake by changing a signal level of a respective data signal line for a period of time longer than a cycle of a clock each other.

Information processing apparatus, serial communication system, method of initialization of communication therefor and serial communication apparatus

A packet accompanying data valid information is transferred at high efficiency within an integrated circuit or between integrated circuits. A character indicating data enable information is provided and an identifier indicating a data enable character is assigned onto the packet. When the data enable information is valid in series, the data enable characters are eliminated from the packet to be transferred.
