Abstract: A positive temperature coefficient (PTC) thermistor comprises a casing, a PTC element, an insulation holder, two conductive tap terminals, two spring terminals, and a cap. A weak portion is formed in each spring terminal connected to the tap terminal to allow application of current to the PTC element while connecting with the PTC element and to act as a fuse that is cut off at a time of inflow of an overcurrent. A PTC thermistor comprises a casing (2), a PTC element (3), an insulation holder (4), two conductive tap terminals (5) accommodated in the casing, two spring terminals (6), and a cap (7). The casing is made of heat-resistant, insulating, and nonflammable material. The PTC element is provided with electrodes formed by coating both sides of a coin-shaped body of barium titanate ceramic with a conducting material, e.g. silver. The insulation holder fixedly holds the PTC element so that the PTC element is stably accommodated in an inner space of the casing. Each spring terminal is connected to the tap terminal and bent symmetrically and oppositely. Each spring terminal is brought into contact with the electrodes of the PTC element with the PTC element being disposed between them. The cap is provided with holes (7a) formed at positions brought into contact with the tap terminals, and two insulation walls (7b).

Abstract: The configuration of telecommunications-network elements is controlled by first generating a model configuration of the elements comprising, for at least one function of each element subjected to control, a respective model of implementation of the function itself. For each element subjected to control, at least one respective set of configuration data of the element itself is collected and, again for each element subjected to control and in the absence of interaction with the element itself, correspondence is verified between the one function as implemented on the basis of the at least one respective set of configuration data of the element and the model of implementation of the function itself included in the model configuration. These steps of generating, collecting and verifying are done relative to an interfacing element between two nodes of the plurality or a plurality of respective sets of configuration data of the element.

Abstract: An electronic key capable of reinitializing or resetting a security disabled electronic article surveillance (EAS) device is provided. The electronic key can be a secure, portable, and battery powered for initializing a secured EAS system's security protocol to factory default state, or to another preselected state. The key has its own set of security protocols to prevent unauthorized use and can easily be reprogrammed for a wide variety of other functions including, but not limited to, firmware upgrading, diagnostic testing, and the like. The key can be connected to the programming port of an EAS device and perform a preset reprogramming operation, resetting activated security features. The key could be purchased for customer use, and would be secured by preselecting the total number of uses, such as one use. The one-time use would begin once the key is activated. Activation of the key is also uniquely controlled to prevent its misuse. In one embodiment, the electronic key must detect the interrogation field of a properly functioning EAS exit system prior to becoming enabled. The allowed usage can be limited by time, the number of units reprogrammed, or a combination of both. Once the key has been activated for its pre-selected number of uses and shuts off, only qualified service personnel can reset the electronic key function for further uses.

Abstract: This invention relates to a memory apparatus or the like adaptable to a multi-value recording flash memory and others. A flash memory 10 is designed for 16-value (4-bit) recording. For a write operation, the encoder (12) converts input data Din into an abbreviated Reed-Solomon code to provide write data WD. The converter (13) converts the write data WD into four-bit parallel data. The converted data are fed and written to the each memory cell constituting cell arrays (11) successively. For a read operation, the converter (14) converts read data RD from the cell arrays (11) into one-byte (8-bit) parallel data and supplies the converted data to the decoder (15) for error correction in units of bytes, whereby output data Dout is obtained. Since the Reed-Solomon code is used, sufficient performance with a limited number of errors to be corrected can be obtained. <IMAGE>
