Abstract: The type and number of denomination of notes and the identification method of authentic notes differs for every country. The development of such identification device for these currencies in each country increases the manufacturing cost, and the processing time increases when the types of notes to be authenticated are increased. The present invention provides a paper sheet identifier device, which includes a main board for operating common processes independent from specific notes and sub-boards in parallel operation, allowing sub-boards connected to the main board to be added or replaced in accordance with the type and number of denomination of notes in a country along with the authentication method. The present invention improves the processing speed by parallelizing the identification processes, and the efficiency of updating the device specification when a new note is issued.

Abstract: After a contract terminates in a contract part with personal identification and the input of contract contents, a control part controls the door of a sales storing box in which a product to be purchased is stored, and vends the product by opening the door.

Abstract: A technique allowing a terminal device located in a remote place to protect data existing on an information processing system and then control an electric source of the information processing system is provided. An information processing system according to the present invention includes a service processor for discriminating an order issued by a terminal device located in a remote place, an electric source control circuit for controlling connection or disconnection of an electric source in response to an electric source connection or disconnection order issued by the service processor, and an electric source unit for conducting connection or disconnection of an electric source in response to an electric source connection or disconnection order issued by the electric source control circuit.

Abstract: An image data processing system which includes an image memory and an image processor for performing coordinate transformation of source image data expressed by two dimensional coordinates.

Abstract: A method successively test information processing devices, that include a main storage, a CPU, an external storage, etc., in a plurality of test steps in accordance with test programs along a test line composed of baths with different temperatures/humidities. A table and a pointer corresponding to the table are stored in an external storage and a non-volatile memory, respectively. A test program, test items and a test procedure are previously described for each test step in the table. The test object is shifted to a certain bath on the test line, and a prescribed test for the test object is performed at the timing of turning-on of the driving power therefor in accordance with the test procedure described in the procedure table corresponding to the pointer. The value of the pointer is updated each time the power is turned on.
