Abstract: The pass transistor (8) is formed by a high
withstanding voltage structure formed with double-diffusion
layers. An N -  well is formed on top of a P -  semiconductor
substrate, and a P -  well is formed within the N -  well. An N + 
diffusion region used as a source of a pass transistor and a
P +  diffusion region used as a back gate of the pass
transistor are formed on top of the P -  well through a field
oxide film. One terminal of a resistor (13), which is
formed of polysilicon, for example, is connected to the N + 
diffusion region used as the source, and in the same way,
the other terminal of the resistor is connected to the P + 
diffusion region used as the back gate. As a result, a
power source circuit, which is composed of a MOS type
transistor whose circuit current does not increase even in
the case that the output terminal is short-circuited to
power source voltage, can be provided.

Abstract: A constructing method of a finite state machine with failure transitions FFM is disclosed. The machine FFM is constructed from a nondeterministic finite-state machine and a string of external inputs. States 〈p,q〉 in the machine FFM is formed of a state set q included in the nondeterministic finite-state machine and a set p defined as a subset of the state set q, and the number of states 〈p,q〉 is finite. Also, an external input c takes the machine FFM from a current state s to a next state g(s,c) and an output µ(s) is output from the next state g(s,c) in cases where a value g(s,c) of a success function g is defined, and an external input c takes the machine FFM from the current state s to a state g(f(f···f(s)···)) determined by repeatedly calculating a value f(s) of a failure function f until a value g(f(f···f(s)···)) defined is found out in cases where the value g(s,c) of the success function g is not defined. Because all of transitions from the current state s for all external inputs c are not defined by the success function g, a storage capacity for storing the machine FFM is considerably reduced.

device reads product identity information from coded levels on products
chosen by the purchaser and sends the information to a central processor.
The central processor has a memory, which indexes price information and
weight for each product based on the product identity information. The
central processor sends an accumulated price and weight transaction to
the remote scanning device for the purchaser's use. The product identity
information on the products further include a security tag device which
is deactivated by the remote scanning device. The purchaser upon
completion of their purchases takes their shopping cart to a security
station for weighing in on a scale wherein an actual combined weight of
the shopping cart, bags and products is compared to a predicted weight
determined by the central processor and generating a notification signal
if a discrepancy occurs. The security station further verifies that the
security tag devices have been deactivated and also generates a
notification signal. The purchaser next goes to a payment checkout
terminal coupled to the central processor, wherein the payment checkout
terminal effects financial transactions including acceptance of payment
for transactions initiated by the remote scanning device, and the payment
checkout terminal is operable by store personnel only.
