  • Patent number: 7953956
    Abstract: A reconfigurable circuit of reduced circuit scale. The reconfigurable circuit of the present invention comprises a plurality of ALUs capable of changing functions. The plurality of ALUs are arranged in a matrix. At least one connection unit capable of establishing connection between the ALUs selectively is provided between the stages of the ALUs. This connection unit is not intended to allow connection between all the logic circuits in adjoining stages, but is configured so that the logic circuits are each connectable with only some of the logic circuits pertaining to the other stages. The connection limitation allows a reduction in circuit scale.

  • Patent number: 6260026
    Abstract: The credit card information management system checks the creditability of a credit card intended to be used for purchase of goods or service by using the card information owned by member stores of credit companies. A host computer of the card management center outputs information regarding the validity or invalidity of a credit card of a customer member of a credit company as card information, a transmission facility wirelessly transmits digital data of the card information. A receiving facility of a member store receives radio signals of the card information and checks whether or not there is any missing of data. If any missing occurs, a transfer of the missed data is requested to the host computer.

  • Patent number: 6128390
    Abstract: A second random number generator (102) sets a scramble key data included in a transmitted/received data to an initial value, and it generates predetermined second random numbers. A first random number generator (101) generates first random numbers from the second random numbers supplied by the second random number generator (102). The generation of the first random numbers by the first random number generator (101) is controlled by an output from a first control circuit (103). Since the output from the first control circuit (103) is changed in accordance with a service identification code SI, the first random numbers generated from the first random number generator (101) are changed. The first random numbers are input to a gate circuit (105) via a second control circuit (104). The second control circuit (104) inhibits the output of the first random numbers in accordance with the SI value. In such a manner, scrambling or descrambling is controlled in the gate circuit (105).
