Title: Raw liquid supply device
Inventor: FUJII YASUAKI
IPC: G07F9/02
Filed: 2002-12-26
Abstract: <P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a raw liquid supply device 19 capable of omitting a resetting work due to a work of replacing a raw liquid container 72 and exactly detecting the remaining quantity of raw liquid in the raw liquid container 72.  <P>SOLUTION: A mass detection means 78 detects mass based on the remaining quantity of the raw liquid of the raw liquid container 72. When the detected mass is greater than a specified value, it is determined that the raw liquid is present and when the mass is smaller than the specified value, it is determined that the raw liquid is absent. The mass detection means 78 detects exchange from a raw liquid container 72 without the raw liquid to a raw liquid container 72 with the raw liquid, and the resetting work due to the exchange work of the raw liquid container 72 is omitted. The mass detection means 78 and a pressure sensor 76 for detecting that the raw liquid in the raw liquid container 72 is exhausted are used together. When the mass is greater than a prescribed value and suction pressure is lower than a prescribed value, existence of the raw liquid is detected and when the mass is smaller than the prescribed value and the suction pressure is higher than the prescribed value, absence of the raw liquid is detected. Thus the remaining quantity of the raw liquid in the raw liquid container 72 is exactly detected.  <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO&NCIPI

Patent JP-2004503006-A (JP)
IPC: G06F12/14
Filed: 2001-07-02
Abstract: Malicious code in a code-executing device is detected by generating test data, which is substantially unsusceptible to compression without reducing its information content, and storing it as image data in memory external to the device. The test data is stored into memory of the device. A checksum calculation is performed on the test data stored in the memory of the device to generate a first checksum value. A corresponding checksum calculation is performed on the image data to generate a second checksum value. The first value is compared with the second value to determine whether or not the test data in the memory of the device has been corrupted. These steps are repeated until sufficient test data in the memory of the device is checksum tested to determine whether or not malicious code is present in the device. The malicious code is difficult to conceal itself from the checksums. Hence, it is possible to determine whether or not the device has been compromised.
