Abstract: A frequency-current conversion circuit permits stabilization of the frequency characteristic of an equalizer that is used in a high-speed optical disc apparatus.

Abstract: A storage box includes an outer case to be fixed to an attachment member; an inner case slidably disposed in the outer case for holding an article; an urging device disposed between the inner case and the outer case for urging the inner case toward an opening; a latching device for locking the inner case; and a holder disposed at the inner case for holding the article within the inner case. The holder extends along a direction that the inner case slides and has an arm section for holding the article, a guide section for guiding the arm section to hold the article, and a shaft section rotatably supported on the inner case. The arm section passes an opening of the inner case when the inner case moves inwardly in the outer case.

Abstract: A central processing apparatus, a distributed processing apparatus, and a transaction processing terminal constitute a transaction processing system. A central processing apparatus, a distributed processing apparatus, and an information supply terminal constitute an information supply system. These systems are mutually connected. A customer data base stores customer attributes or service information for each customer. A service information conditioning file stores target customer conditions for the respective service. The transaction processing terminal will communicate with the central processing apparatus and the like to perform the transaction process for the customer who visits the branch of the financial institute, and at the same time, to retrieve the customer data bases, and the file belonging to the information supply system so as to display service information on the display.

Abstract: A clip is attached to an insertion part of an object and inserted into an attachment hole formed in an object receiving attachment. The clip is formed of a pair of clamping plates facing each other for receiving therebetween the insertion part of the object and having elasticity for expanding outward. The clamping plates have a plurality of teeth with tips formed on inner surfaces. The tips form a multiple stage pattern across a direction of insertion into the attachment hole to be pressed to the insertion part. Also, coupling arms are provided outside the clamping plates. The coupling arms are coupled into the attachment hole by elasticity at a final position of insertion into the attachment hole after being elastically bent inward upon insertion of the insertion part of the object into the attachment hole.

Abstract: In a transaction processing system in which a plurality of terminal devices are connected to a common transmission line to carry out transactions on the basis of the contents of transaction slips read out by the terminal devices, a transaction can be continued even when misreading or reject is detected in the results of reading of a transaction slip. When misreading or reject is detected, data read out from the transaction slip are transferred to a specified terminal devices to be corrected, complemented, confirmed, etc., and, after approval of the transaction, the transaction is executed.
