Abstract: The invention provides two kinds of structures for a thin-film solar cell that is improved in the adhesive strength and reflectance of a back surface electrode layer. According to the first structure, in a thin-film solar cell in which a transparent electrode layer, a thin-film semiconductor layer, and a back surface electrode layer are laid in stated order on an insulative transparent substrate, the back surface electrode layer consists of a first transparent conductive metal compound layer having a smaller refractive index than a semiconductor that constitutes the thin-film semiconductor layer, a second transparent conductive metal compound layer, and a metal layer. The second transparent conductive metal compound layer contains at least one of components of the first transparent conductive metal compound layer and a component of the metal layer. It is preferred that the first transparent conductive metal compound layer be made of a metal oxide, specifically indium tin oxide, tin oxide, or zinc oxide. Where the thin-film semiconductor layer is made of a compound semiconductor, the first transparent conductive metal compound layer may also be made of cadmium sulfide. According to the second structure, in a thin-film solar cell in which a transparent electrode layer, a thin-film semiconductor layer, and a back surface electrode layer are laid in order on an insulative transparent substrate, the back surface electrode layer is a layered body consisting of a silver thin film, and an intermediate thin layer containing silver, oxygen, and a metal element constituting a transparent conductive metal oxide. It is particularly preferred that the metal element constituting the transparent conductive metal oxide be zinc.

Abstract: To provide a tire pressure estimating system which is capable of estimating tire pressure (p) based on a signal representing the rotational speed (y(k)) of a vehicle wheel (1) via a small amount of processing by using low-capacity memory (202, 203), a wheel speed sensor (10) is provided for each wheel (1) of a vehicle. A pulse signal output by the wheel speed sensor (10) is supplied to a signal processor (200, 20). In the signal processor (200, 20), the rotational speed (y(k)) of each vehicle wheel (1) is found from the pulse signal. The signal processor (200, 20) adopts a second-order linear prediction model for the rotational speed (y(k)) of the vehicle wheel (1) and vibration of the tire using parameters identified from values of the rotational speed (y(k)). A resonance frequency (ω) is then found from the identified parameters. Finally, the tire pressure (p) is estimated from a linear relationship between the pressure (p) and the resonance frequency (ω).

Abstract: A technique is provided for setting an error status bit in a first-in, first-out memory (302) having data words with associated error bits. When a word having an associated error bit that is set to indicate an error is written into the FIFO, the write pointer (307) is captured, and a flag (EIF) is set, indicating that the FIFO has a word with an error. If a second word is written which has an error, that pointer value is captured, overwriting the current value. As the FIFO is read, the read pointer (309) is compared with the captured write pointer. When the values are equal, and the FIFO is read, the flag is cleared, indicating that there are no more errors in the FIFO. In an exemplary case, each word in the FIFO has 8 data bits and 3 error bits. A FIFO used in implementing a UART in a modem typically includes 16 or 32 words.

A vertical synchronisation generation circuit (205) produces a first output vertical synchronisation signal (VSYNCO1) from the first output horizontal synchronisation signal. An analysis circuit (206) produces a value (VAL2) representative of the number of lines between two frame return pulses of the input vertical synchronisation signal (VSYNCI). A correction circuit (207) provides a second output synchronisation signal (HSYNCO2) from the pulse detection signal.
