Abstract: A non-linear Hall IC 1 includes storing means 4 for storing conversion information for conversing Hall voltage output from a Hall element 2, and non-linear converting means 5 for converting the Hall voltage into an output voltage based on the conversion information stored in the storing means 4. In the non-linear converting means 5, the Hall voltage is converted into the output voltage such that a relation between the magnetic field strength and the output voltage becomes a non-linear relation.

Abstract: An optical bus system comprising an optical bus is furnished, along two opposed edges, with a plurality of signal light input/output portions for inputting and outputting signal light to and from the bus. Any one of the signal light input/output portions on one edge of the bus inputs signal light thereto and propagates the light to the opposite edge at which another signal light input/output portion outputs the propagated signal light from the bus. The system also comprises a plurality of light emitting/receiving circuits corresponding to the signal light input/output portions. Each light emitting/receiving circuit has a signal light sending unit and a signal light receiving unit. The signal light sending unit generates signal light and sends the generated signal light into the optical bus through the corresponding signal light input/output portion. The signal light receiving unit acquires a received light signal upon receipt of the signal light output by the corresponding signal light input/output portion.

Abstract: According to the present invention, piracy of secret data is prevented without an attack detecting circuit or data deleting circuit. In a secret data processing unit, a cell contains fluid in a sealed space. Code generators arranged in the sealed space receive a code generation request to generate codes specified by the pressure value of the fluid. A key generator disposed in the sealed space generates encryption keys/decryption keys specified by the generated codes. An encryptor/decryptor also disposed in the sealed space receives requests for secret data encryption/requests for encrypted secret data decryption, and outputs code generation requests to the code generator to encrypt the secret data/decrypt the encrypted secret data by using the generated encryption key/decryption key. Both codes and encryption keys/decryption keys generated and used, are not statically stored in the cryptographic processing unit.

More specifically, the optical bus is produced by preparing first sheets that serve as a light transmission layer, a clad layer is formed on both front and rear sides of each of the first sheets and a second sheet is inserted, is prepared separately from the first sheet and serves as a clearance layer between the first sheets having the clad layer. The resulting optical bus includes a plurality of light transmission paths, each consisting of a light transmission layer and clad layers sandwiching the light transmission layer, and clearance layers for specifying the interval between the light transmission paths, each clearance layer being interposed between adjacent light transmission paths.

Abstract: A rotation detecting device for vehicle speedometers includes a housing, a magnetic induction device, and a magnetized rotor near the magnetic induction device. The rotor is connected through a coupling to a rotation source. A braking device forms a magnetic circuit between one end surface of the rotor and the housing, and brings the rotor into pressure contact with the housing by a magnetic attraction force generated in the magnetic circuit. Accordingly, a stable and proper braking torque can be applied against rotor vibration, to prevent a false output signal while idling. Furthermore, the amount of wear of a bearing for rotatably supporting a rotating shaft of the rotor can be reduced to improve durability of the rotation detecting device by reducing the braking torque during high-speed rotation of the rotor.

Abstract: A transistor circuit such as an integrated circuit contains at least first and second MOS transistors having drain electrode pair and source electrode pair, one of which is a pair of electrodes connected together and integrated into a common drain or source electrode, and the other of which is a pair of separate electrodes. In a semiconductor substrate, there are formed at least one common region, such as a drain contact region or a source region, connected with the common electrode, and a plurality of first and second individual regions selectively connected with the separate electrodes. Around the common region or each common region, a predetermined number of the individual regions are arranged in such a manner as to improve the thermal balance of the substrate and enable the downsizing of the device.

Abstract: A rotation sensor for vehicle includes a drive shaft connected to a rotation shaft of a vehicle by a transmission member, a ring-shaped magnet member provided onto the drive shaft and a detector for detecting change of magnetic flux caused by rotations of the magnetic member, wherein rotation frequency or rotation speed can be measured by detecting the changes of the magnetic flux. The magnetic member is formed of a composition of heat resisting resin and magnetic materials, and the formed magnetic member is fixed to the drive shaft through a heat resistant elastic member. As a result, even if the rotation sensor is located in high temperature place, e.g. around an engine, there is no possibility that a crack in the magnet member will be caused since expansion or contraction in the magnetic member can be absorbed by the elastic member.
