Abstract: A navigation-satellite receiver comprises a crystal
oscillator that is affected by local ambient temperature in a
repeatable way. After locking onto a GPS satellite, the
receiver is used to calculate the true frequency bias of the
local crystal oscillator. GPS-system lock provides an atomic-clock
basis for such measurements of true frequency. The
current temperature of the crystal is measured and recorded in
association with the true frequency bias measurement. The
data is then used to generate a ninth-order polynomial that
describes the frequency drift of the crystal over temperature.
Then during receiver initialization when the local reference
oscillator is not in lock, the ambient temperature is measured
and used to index the ninth-order polynomial to estimate the
actual crystal frequency. Such frequency estimate is then
used as a basis to find signal from visible SV's in an
overhead constellation.

a driving method control circuit 107b, and reports a driving voltage corresponding to
this display color to a driving voltage control circuit 107c. As a result of such a
process, a driving method and a driving voltage suitable for the display color are
selected. As a result, it becomes possible for a single panel driver 107 to drive an LCD

Abstract: Between an IC card (1) and an electronic ticket server (2), upon
purchasing an electronic ticket a public key cryptosystem is employed for a
mutual authentication to keep a strict security, and a shared secret between
the electronic ticket and a ticket collecting machine is sent on a secure
channel as well as the electronic ticket. Upon usage of the electronic
ticket, the IC card (1) and the ticket collecting machine (6) mutually judge
whether they carry out the mutual authentication by using a public key
cryptosystem or a symmetric key cryptosystem. When they determine to
use the symmetric key cryptosystem, they carry out the mutual
authentication by using the shared secret exchanged beforehand. When
they determine to use the public key cryptosystem, they carry out the
mutual authentication by using the same method as that used upon
purchasing the electronic ticket. This method of mutual authentication can
dynamically switch cryptosystems for cryptographic communication
between the IC cards or between the IC card and a tamper resistant device
having an equivalent function to an IC card installed in related servers or
the ticket collecting machine, based on their judgment of the types of
bearers, the required degree of security and the required processing speed.
