Abstract: A conventional lens cleaner for use in a disc playing device, comprises a cleaning disc which has several bundles of flocks or projections for getting in contact with a lens of an optical disc and thus removing dust from the lens. However, since the flocks or projections are protruding outwardly from the disc, the disc can not be easily inserted into and removed from the disc playing device, or the lens would be wounded. In order to solve this problem, the disc playing device lens cleaner of the present invention, comprises a cleaning disc having a shape similar to an optical disc, and one or more through holes formed on the cleaning disc. Air flow is generated by said one or more through holes when the cleaning disc is rotated, and is sent to the lens of the optical pickup. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and system of securing forgery in biometrical identification of persons, wherein at least one biological characteristic of a person is recorded and transformed into personal data, and the personal data are compared with reference data in order to identify the person. The person is caused to carry out a controllable motion before, after, or during the identification and this motion is recorded. In particular, objects are displayed successively at different positions on screen, and it is verified whether the person's line of sight follows the object so as to find out whether indeed a living person rather than a copy is located in front of the identification system.

Abstract: An internal voltage regulator for a synchronous random access memory "SDRAM") uses a regulator circuit to supply power to charge pumps that is separate from a regulator circuit that supplies power to the arrays of the SDRAM. The regulator supplies an output voltage to the charge pumps that is maintained constant as the external supply voltage is increased beyond its normal operating range. In contrast, a regulated circuit that supplies power to the arrays increases as the supply voltage is increase beyond its normal operating range. As a result, the voltage regulator allows the arrays to be stress tested with a relatively high regulated output voltage without applying an excessive and potentially damaging regulated output voltage to the charge pumps.
