    2009 Intellectual Property Report FUJITSU LIMITED 1. Introduction This Intellectual Property Report has been available on the Internet since 2006 to provide our shareholders and the general public with information on Fujitsu’s efforts concerning intellectual properties. Our efforts in intellectual properties are extensive. We collectively call these efforts our intellectual property strategy. Fujitsu’s principal business is manufacturing and selling communication systems, information processing systems, and electronic devices as well as providing services involving these products. Each phase of these business activities is closely tied to our intellectual property strategy. This Intellectual Property Report describes the role of Fujitsu’s intellectual property strategy and the efforts being made in this area by our individual business units. It also includes statistics covering our intellectual properties. (Intellectual Property General Manager Takashi Iwata) ■ Role of our intellectual property strategy At Fujitsu, our intellectual property and standardization strategies have been integrated with our business strategy and research and development strategy as a part of our efforts to secure business competitive advantages, business flexibility, and business earnings. By taking action to support our technologies as intellectual properties, we have differentiated our products and services more effectively from those of our competitors to secure our business competitive advantage. We have also ensured our business flexibility by partnering with other companies under favorable terms. Furthermore, we have planned and implemented our intellectual property strategy together with our standardization strategy to secure business profitability through our licensing and related activities. Also, it is important for business management to be conscious of intellectual property issues and to be positively committed to using intellectual properties in the course of running our business.

  • Arm Arhitektura Napreduje – No Postoje Izazovi
    ARM ARHITEKTURA NAPREDUJE – NO POSTOJE IZAZOVI SAŽETAK Procesori ARM ISA arhitekture ne koriste se više "samo" za mobitele i tablete, nego i za serverska računala (pa i superračunala), te laptop / desktop računala. I Apple je kod Macintosh računala prešao sa Intel arhitekture na ARM arhitekturu. Veliki izazov kod tog prelaska bio je - kako omogućiti da se programski kod pisan za Intelovu ISA arhitekturu, izvršava na procesoru M1 koji ima ARM arhitekturu. Općenito, želja je da se programi pisani za jednu ISA arhitekturu mogu sa što manje napora izvršavati na računalima koja imaju drugačiju ISA arhitekturu. Problem je u tome što različite ISA arhitekture mogu imati dosta različite memorijske modele. ABSTRACT ARM ISA processors are no longer used "only" for mobile phones and tablets, but also for server computers (even supercomputers) and laptops / desktops. Apple has also switched from Intel to ARM on Macintosh computers. The big challenge in that transition was - how to enable program code written for Intel's ISA architecture to run on an M1 processor that has an ARM architecture. In general, the desire is that programs written for one ISA architecture can be executed with as little effort as possible on computers that have a different ISA architecture. The problem is that different ISA architectures can have quite different memory models. 1. UVOD Procesori ARM ISA arhitekture ne koriste se više "samo" za mobitele i tablete, nego i za serverska računala (pa i superračunala), te laptop/desktop računala. Koriste se i u industriji, u proizvodnim procesima, a i kao ugradbeni čipovi u ostale proizvode, npr. za ugradnju u IOT uređaje i u vozila (posebno autonomna vozila).
