More ART in Renesas' Mobile World; ART Joins the SH-Mobile Consortium.Business Editors/Health/Medical Writers ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 11, 2004 Today, ART Advanced Recognition Technologies, Inc. global leaders in User Interface solutions for mobile devices announced that it has signed a cooperation and co-marketing agreement with Renesas Technology Corp. The agreement enables Renesas' Technology's SH-Mobile Consortium to offer ART's advanced Speech & Handwriting Recognition solutions to its customers. The new cooperation and co-marketing agreement allows for both companies to demonstrate the advantages of ART's recognition solutions on Renesas' Technology's SH-Mobile platform -- a synergy expected to delight prospective customers. A flexible mobile application processor providing multimedia support for next-generation cellular phone communications, SH-Mobile is the latest innovation from Renesas Technology Corp. -- the company formed by the merger of the semiconductor divisions of Hitachi, Ltd. and Mitsubishi Electric Corporation. They turned to ART as the world's leading independent provider of natural User Interface solutions, creators of the breakthrough smARTspeak family of speech recognition technologies. "The SH-Mobile Consortium is dedicated to bringing best of breed applications to the world's Mobile Handsets providers, OEMs and ODMs," says Ikuya Kawasaki, department manager, SoC Design Department 6 of Renesas Technology Corp. "We are sure they will appreciate the cooperation between SH-Mobile Consortium and ART that enables them to enjoy the benefits of a strong and flexible application processor, integrated with the most advanced capabilities of Speaker Independent Speech Recognition and Text To Speech features." "Renesas Technology Corp. has swiftly established itself as a leading supplier of highly integrated semiconductor system solutions," said Ron Wolfson, ART's Director of Sales & Business Development. "Providing SH-Mobile Consortium customers with innovative user interface solutions on one of the world's most exciting cellular phone technologies, we both further shorten the development cycle and also enlarge the market potential for all concerned." More About Renesas Technology's SH-Mobile Renesas Technology's SH-Mobile is a flexible application accelerator that provides multimedia support for next-generation cellular phone communications. Unlike traditional baseband CPU CPU in full central processing unit Principal component of a digital computer, composed of a control unit, an instruction-decoding unit, and an arithmetic-logic unit. methods that use single CPUs to manage both signal and application processing, the SH-Mobile design approach uses a dual CPU architecture that dedicates one CPU to application execution in order to maximize communication performance. Built on Renesas' popular SuperH 32-bit RISC RISC in full Reduced Instruction Set Computing Computer architecture that uses a limited number of instructions. RISC became popular in microprocessors in the 1980s. superscalar architecture, SH-Mobile devices offers compelling functionality such as the JPEG JPEG in full Joint Photographic Experts Group Standard computer file format for storing graphic images in a compressed form for general use. JPEG images are compressed using a mathematical algorithm. , MP3, acoustic echo canceller, AMR (1) (Adaptive Multi-Rate) A variable rate speech codec selected by the 3GPP for the 3G evolution of the GSM cellphone system (WCDMA). Using the Algebraic CELP (ACELP) compression technology, AMR provides toll quality sound at transmission rates from 4.75 to 12. codec, MPEG (Moving Pictures Experts Group) An ISO/ITU standard for compressing digital video. Pronounced "em-peg," it is the universal standard for digital terrestrial, cable and satellite TV, DVDs and digital video recorders (DVRs). 4 encode/decode and Java Virtual Machine A Java interpreter. The Java Virtual Machine (JVM) is software that converts the Java intermediate language (bytecode) into machine language and executes it. The original JVM came from the JavaSoft division of Sun. capabilities that are essential for supporting the high-end multimedia applications of next generation mobile phones.
