Abstract: When a handwritten character is inputted with a pen of a pen input device, a handwritten character recognition unit recognizes the character according to coordinate data of the character. Also, a handwritten area judge unit judges the size of the character and a blank area according to a range of preset areas passed though the handwriting. A character font determination unit detects a character font from a plurality of character fonts to correspond to the character size judged by the handwritten area judge unit. The determined character font is outputted to a display device and the like.

Abstract: A thin and small computer system that can be used generally for control equipment or the like, includes a CPU chip, peripheral control chips, and other components mounted in the form of a bare chip, whereby a computer system having a so-called ISA architecture can be incorporated in an IC card-like casing. Computer system components are fixedly attached to a double-sided printed wiring board.

The control bus and the IO bus are not located at opposed positions in the connector. A position of separating the buses from each other is off the center of the connector. Power lines or ground lines are provided at the separating positions in the connector, thus preventing occurrence of unnecessary electromagnetic radiation noise. RAMs are mounted on a sub-PW board, which provides flexibility for the system. A bare chip of an EEPROM is mounted on another printed wiring board, which enables electrical forming to be performed after such mounting.

Abstract: A reprogramming method of a nonvolatile semiconductor memory formed of MOS transistor cells is provided. Data values are written to transistors of one of groups which is obtained by dividing the entire MOS transistors, and one of the transistors whose data values are written is selected. Then, the data value written in the selected transistor is erased. The selection and erasing are repeated until the data values written in the desired transistors are erased. Thus, reprogramming of the memory is finished. Since the threshold voltage of the transistor erased is well controlled, the threshold voltage dispersion after reprogramming can be reduced.

Abstract: A regenerating circuit is disclosed for use in a magnetic disc apparatus which uses a recording system to keep line density of each track in the recording media uniformly in each track. A low pass filter having a fixed cutoff frequency is used in combination with a wave equalization circuit in which time delay and gain are selected to provide a response which when combined with the response of the low pass filter results in an appropriate overall response for the zone from which the information to be processed originates.
