Abstract: Ink type information is read by a read and write system (62) from a semiconductor storage system mounted on ink cartridges (9a to 9d) attached to a cartridge holder (8). A decision control system (61) decides whether or not ink type information has already been stored in ink type storage system. (63), and stores the ink type information thus read when the ink type information is not stored.. In the case in which the ink cartridge is exchanged, the ink type information is similarly read and it is decided whether or not the same ink type information is identical to the ink type information stored in the ink type storage system (63). If they are not identical to each other, the operation of the recording apparatus is inhibited and a display system (68) is caused to display an error message thereon. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The objective of the present invention is to propose a method that allows preventing the use of more than one identical security module for the identification and use of resources administered by an operating centre. This objective is achieved by an anti-cloning method based on the memorization of the identification numbers of the user units connected to said security module. During a connection with an operating centre these numbers are transmitted and compared with the numbers of a previous transmission. Differences are accepted as long as new numbers are added to a list previously transmitted. The security module is declared invalid if the numbers previously memorized are not included in the transmitted numbers.

Abstract: A method for controlling the charging and discharging phases of a backup capacitor for a data storage medium has the step where the backup capacitor is first discharged to a defined voltage level before it is charged. The capacitor is discharged using a constant current. This ensures that the charging current for the backup capacitor cannot be used to identify what the charge-state of the capacitor was before discharging. Therefore, it is no longer possible to infer the currents that flowed during security-related arithmetic operations in a data processing unit. In one advantageous circuit configuration, a constant current source is formed by a current-mirror circuit, and a comparator is used to compare the voltage on the backup capacitor with a bandgap reference.
