  • Publication number: 20010008811
    Abstract: A card connector is obtained which can realize a small size and a low profile of an apparatus. The connector comprises a plurality of pins and a support member. The pin has a card-connecting section connected to a PC card, and a board-installing section installed to a circuit board. The pin has a card-connecting section side bent section and a board-installing section side bent section. The position of the card-connecting section is lower than that of a section disposed between the card-connecting section side bent section and the board-installing section side bent section. In this arrangement, the support member is formed such that the position of a lower outer wall surface of a slot section is lower by a height hc than the position of a lower surface of a board-installing section support section for supporting the board-installing section.

  • Patent number: 6122395
    Abstract: A dictionary image renewing method in a fingerprint identification device registers images into a dictionary memory as multiple dictionaries. The method includes extracting images from a plurality of fingerprint images determined as being acceptable identification by mutual identification and using the multiple dictionaries to perform identification processing of entered fingerprint images. This includes successively identifying by comparing entered fingerprint images with the dictionary images registered in the multiple dictionaries, and when identification acceptance results with any one of the multiple dictionaries the one dictionary determined as being identification accepted is renewed to the dictionary image registered in any one of the remaining dictionaries. The remaining multiple dictionaries are renewed to the dictionary image extracted from the entered fingerprint images.
