Abstract: A method and system for providing washing machine
operation information. The system comprises an input unit (10) for
inputting a command for washing machine operation control from
a user, a controller (20) for generating an operation control
signal in response to the command inputted by the input unit (10)
to control the operation of a washing machine (1), and processing
data regarding a use history and abnormal state of the washing
machine, an operation drive circuit (31,32,33) for driving a washing tub
in the washing machine and supply/discharge of wash water in
response to the operation control signal from the controller (20),
a communication unit (40) for supporting a communication function
to transmit and receive the data processed by the controller (20)
externally over a communication network, a service provider (50)
connected to the communication unit (40) for collecting the data
from the controller (20), comparison-analyzing the collected data
and generating control information for the setup of an optimum
washing environment of the machine as a result of the

Abstract: An apparatus for increasing the speed at which an object can be optically scanned.
First and second optical signals  [351,352]  from first and second areas  [361,362]  of an
object  [110]  are focused respectively onto first and second optical sensor arrays
 [381,382] . Image data signals  [385,386]  from first and second optical sensor arrays
 [381,382]  are interlaced in a detection circuit  [390]  to form a composite image of the
object  [110] . By exposing the first area  [361]  during the time that the optical signal  [352] 
from exposure of the second area  [362]  is being clocked out and by exposing the second
area  [362]  during the time that the optical signal  [351]  from exposure of the first area
 [361]  is being clocked out, the object  [110]  can be scanned at a faster rate. Specialized
image sensors do not need to be developed. Commercially available image sensors
 [381,382]  can be used. In particular, increased scan speed could result from placing two
relatively inexpensive, commercially available Charge Coupled Devices (CCD's) or
Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS) image sensors  [381,382]  parallel
to each other and alternatively exposing near-by areas  [361,362]  of the object.

Abstract: A system, method, and program for managing a user key used to sign a message for a data processing system having an encryption chip are disclosed. A user is assigned a user key. In order to encrypt and send messages to a recipient(s), the messages are encrypted with the user key. The user key, in turn, is encrypted with an associated key. The associated key is further encrypted using an encryption chip key stored on the encryption chip. The encrypted messages are communicated to a recipient to validate an association of the user with the encrypted messages. The associated key is decrypted with the encryption chip key. The user key is decrypted with the associated key, and the messages are decrypted with the user key. Thereafter, validation of the association of messages with the user is removed by revoking the associated key. In a preferred embodiment, encryption resources are centralized in a server system having the encryption chip. The server system is coupled to and provides encryption services to a plurality of client systems. Messages to be encrypted are sent from a user's client system to the server system, which encrypts the messages using the encryption chip. The encrypted messages are sent from the server system to the client system, which then transmits the encrypted messages to their intended recipient(s). All data relating to the encrypted messages are erased from the server system after the encrypted messages are sent from the server system to the client system. <IMAGE>

elements (C11-C14) are comprised by the electrodes (E11-E14)
and the displacing conductive layer (26) opposed to the
electrodes. The capacitance values thereof are converted into
voltage values (V11-V14) by C/V converter circuit (50), and
based on operation by signal processing circuit (60), an
external force applied to the elastic deformable body is
detected. A pair of contacting electrodes (E15, E16) are formed
on the substrate (40), and when an external force with a
predetermined strength or more is applied, the elastic
deformable body (20) deforms, and the displacing conductive
layer (26) comes into contact with both the contacting
electrodes (E15, E16), simultaneously. The potential of the
contacting electrode (E16) is taken-in from the terminal (T5),
and when said potential is Vcc, the C/V converter circuit (50)
is operated in a standby mode with less power consumption, and
when said potential is GND, the circuit is operated in a normal
mode.
