Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a high-speed processor, and the high-speed processor processes a game program restored in a memory cartridge. A power control routine is then executed, and capacitors (C4, C5) included in a charge pump circuit is repeatedly charged and discharged. If an error occurs in the high-speed processor and then the power control routine is not properly executed, a difference in electric potential (Vc) between one end of a resistor (R10) and a reference electric potential surface or point increases. When the difference in electric potential exceeds a threshold value, a supply of stabilized voltage is stopped by a power on/off control circuit, and an entire system including the high-speed processor is then turned off. <IMAGE>

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un système de chargement par gravité extensible, comprenant une surface de transport propulsée par gravité extensible, et une section interface utilisateur présentant une surface de transport entraînée. Les parois du transporteur définissent un bord supérieur qui est disposé au-dessus d'une surface de transport du système de chargement, afin d'éviter aux charges d'être déplacées latéralement de celui-ci. Les parois latérales permettent d'obtenir une hauteur minimale des unités extensibles, tout en permettant le maintien d'un système de chargement robuste du point de vue structurel, ayant un taux de descente minimal entre les surfaces de transport des unités respectives. La section interface utilisateur disposée à une extrémité extérieure du système de chargement, peut comprendre au moins une partie qui est réglable en hauteur par l'intermédiaire d'un dispositif d'actionnement se trouvant au niveau de l'unité extensible du système de chargement. Le dispositif d'actionnement peut être fixé au système de chargement par gravité au niveau d'une paire de ressorts de compression qui servent à absorber les chocs imposés au dispositif d'actionnement lorsque les charges ou analogue descendent ou entrent en collision avec la section interface utilisateur. De plus, un interrupteur de fin de course peut être disposé afin de désactiver le dispositif d'actionnement en réponse à la détection d'une résistance au mouvement vers le haut et vers le bas de la section interface utilisateur. Un dispositif d'assistance à l'actionnement, tel que des ressorts à gaz ou analogue, peut servir à assister le dispositif d'actionnement lors de l'élévation et de l'abaissement de la section interface utilisateur, de sorte qu'un hauteur verticale inférieure de la section interface utilisateur peut être obtenue, puisqu'un bras d'élévation ou bras à moment de force de plus petite taille est nécessaire pour que le dispositif d'actionnement puisse élever ou abaisser la section interface utilisateur.
