Adaptive recognising device.

摘要

An electronic adaptive recognising device comprising an input store (12) for receiving an input signal, having a number of storage locations and a number of addressable stores (18) each having one or more address lines (16) connected to a number of the input store locations in either a random way or one determined by the input signal. The contents of the input store (12) specify addressable store locations at which words of at least one bit are stored. Means (22) for deriving a common value based on the words stored at the specified addressable store locations are provided together with calculating means (23) which calculate a corrected value (28) based on a received value (24) and the common value (26). Updating means are also provided for applying an update value (30) dependent on the corrected value (28) to each of the specified addressable store locations so that the common value is adapted to changes in the dependence of the received value on the input signal and so that the device can output an appropriate corrected value for a given input signal.
