                    Hitachi America Commits to Fuzzy Logic
                    --------------------------------------

Hitachi America, Ltd., Semiconductor & I.C. Division,  and Togai InfraLogic
will cooperate in the development and expansion of fuzzy logic technology and
applications for North American systems manufacturers.  This agreement combines
the efforts of worldwide leaders in embedded controller technology and fuzzy
logic, with specific focus on the requirements of the North American
marketplace.  Togai's expertise in fuzzy technology combines with Hitachi's
ability to deliver advanced embedded controller architectures to bring a new
level of fuzzy logic capability to U.S. customers.

The agreement covers support for training and documentation software tools, and
hardware evaluation products.  In addition, application feasibility studies
will provide valuable insight for customers evaluating potential fuzzy
projects, including office automation, industrial, transportation and consumer
market applications.

Results of fuzzy logic performance benchmarking studies comparing simple and
complex rule bases have demonstrated that Hitachi's H8 embedded controllers
provide about five times better performance than the devices of leading
competitors.  Unlike previous  types of devices, the H8 Series are modern-
architecture embedded fuzzy logic.  For example, the benchmarks show that
Hitachi's H8 controllers readily surpass the performance threshold necessary to
enable fuzzy logic solutions to effectively execute simple rule-based
applications, unlike competitive devices. 

Hitachi America, Ltd., Semiconductor & I.C. Division, located in Brisbane,
California, supports the requirements of the North American marketplace with a
broad range of semiconductor solutions, including embedded controllers and
microprocessors, ASICs, optoelectronic devices, analog ICs, logic families,
discrete semiconductors and the industry's leading line of all types of memory
ICs.  Hitachi America is the leading enabler of portable and high-performance
computers.  

Hitachi America, Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hitachi, Ltd., Japan,
markets and manufactures electrical and electronic goods and provides
industrial equipment, materials and services throughout the U.S.  Hitachi, Ltd.
is the world's second largest electronics company, with fiscal 1991
consolidated sales of over $58 billion.
