Abstract: The switch has at least two actuators, and the power supply is only switched on if both are activated simultaneously. The actuators are connected to a code generator which outputs a numerical word that is divided into two sub-words. To check the switching state of the actuators, the sub-words are read synchronously into an evaluation unit (8). The value of each sub-word is influenced by a respective actuator. When the actuators are activated, the values of the sub-words is continuously varied. When one actuator is deactivated, the corresponding sub-word assumes a fixed predetermined value.

Abstract: A resist is coated on a substrate. The resist is exposed
to a pattern of a plurality of diffraction gratings for setting
pitches corresponding respectively to oscillation wavelengths
for the plurality of semiconductor lasers and for setting
heights of the diffraction gratings which provide an identical
coupling coefficient independently of the oscillation
wavelengths. The coating is etched in such a manner that the
level of etching per unit time is identical. A stripe mask is
patterned according to the arrangement of the diffraction
gratings. A laser active layer is formed on each of the
diffraction gratings by selective MOVPE growth. An electrode
is formed on each of the laser active layer on its top surface
and the backside of the substrate. By virtue of this
constitution, an optical semiconductor device and a process for
producing the same can be realized which, when a plurality of
semiconductor lasers are simultaneously formed on a single
semiconductor substrate, can prevent a variation in coupling
coefficient.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and apparatus for generating a test
sequence to test a fault in a digital circuit. According to
this method and apparatus, when a fault propagation process for
a fault, for which a test sequence is generated is not
successful, at least a segment of a path to propagate the
effects of the fault is memorized as illegal information. And
the fault propagation process is restarted for the same fault
without selecting the illegal information. Hence, the chance
of a successful fault propagation process is increased, which
leads to the improvement of the fault coverage. 
     In addition, according to the apparatus and method, it is
detected whether a state transition goes into a loop (i.e., two
identical states exist) in the state initialization process and
then the process is restarted by defining the state caused the
loop as an illegal state. Hence, the chance of a successful
state initialization process is increased, which leads to the
improvement of the fault coverage.

Abstract: The invention provides an electronic settlement system
that does not require the
user to manually enter a card number and is capable of performing
an electronic settlement on a network even with
children. A transaction card processor (automatic prepayment
transaction terminal) (140) issues a transaction card
(30), in which an inherent identification code is written in
exchange for a prepayment, as a prepaid card. The relationship
between the inherent identification code and a balance
is recorded in a balance database (138) of a transaction
management terminal (136). When a transaction terminal unit
(26) is connected to a network (12), the inherent identification
code written in a storage unit (28) of the transaction
card (30) inserted in the transaction terminal unit (26)
is automatically read by the transaction terminal unit (26),
and indicated to the transaction management terminal (136).
When the user of a transaction terminal (24) uses contents
from a content provider's terminal (138), a charge for the
contents is withdrawn from the balance database (138). The
electronic settlement system does not require the user to
manually enter the inherent identification code, and allows
children to purchase the transaction card (30).

Abstract: A gradient coil assembly generates substantially linear magnetic gradients across the central
portion of an examination region. The gradient coil assembly includes primary x, y, and
z-gradient coils which generate a gradient magnetic field  (90)  having a non-zero first
derivative in and adjacent the examination region. Preferably, the gradient coil assembly
includes secondary, shielding x, y, and z coils which generate a magnetic field which
substantially cancels, in an area outside a region defined by the shielding coils, a fringe
magnetic field generated by the primary gradient coils. The existence of a non-zero first
derivative in and adjacent the examination region eliminates aliasing effects attributable to
the non-unique gradient field values on either side of a rollover point  (82) . The non-unique
values of the gradient magnetic field adjacent the rollover point caused structure near the
rollover point to overlay each other. The unique non-linearity of the present gradient  (90) 
adjacent the edges expands (magnifies) the image adjacent the edges. Because the
expansion is unique, distortions at the edges are readily and accurately mapped back to
linear.

Abstract: A method for locating a mobile unit without synchronizing base-stations is
provided. A triangulation scheme where distances between a plurality of base-stations
and a mobile unit (herein termed mobile) are calculated by measuring at least three
round-trip-delay-values wherein each round-trip-delay-value corresponds to transmission
of a downlink signal from each base-station to the mobile unit and transmission of an
uplink signal, in response to the downlink signal, from the mobile unit to each base-station
is described. It is a low-cost solution without requiring the participating
base-stations to be accurately synchronized in time and with the added advantages of
utilizing a known downlink signal and a known uplink signal in determining the position
of the mobile.
