Aida and denoted as an IMICTRON. Several applications of the IMICTRON have already been discussed. The most distinguishing property of the IMICTRON is its time-varying threshold level with a function of reintegration, which makes it possible to realize a fuzzy logic, such as required for the dynamic visual-pattern-recognition network discussed here. The other method using the time-varying threshold is named the Varishold method, which is an abbreviation of the variable threshold method. In this system, the threshold is applied in a descrete time, whose level is variable in each sampling time. This paper, therefore, shows the two kinds of the pattern recognition, the one is a visual application that is a classification by the timevaryin~ threshold, and the other a tactile pattern recognition by the descrete variable threshold.","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1969/38","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1969/0038.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1969/38.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1969/bibtex/38","volume":{"slug":"1969","title":"Proceedings of the First International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 1969","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1969/","year":1969,"location":"Washington, DC, USA","dates":"May 7-9, 1969","editors":"Donald E.
