  • Publication number: 20100250936
    Abstract: There is provided an integrated circuit includes an arithmetic circuit having input/output characteristics determined by element-specific physical characteristics; a storage unit having cipher text obtained by performing encryption processing on predetermined secret information using an output value output from the arithmetic circuit with respect to input of a predetermined value and the predetermined value input into the arithmetic circuit stored therein; and a decryption unit that restores the predetermined secret information by inputting the predetermined value stored in the storage unit into the arithmetic circuit and decrypting the cipher text stored in the storage unit using the output value output from the arithmetic circuit when the predetermined secret information is used.

  • Patent number: 7659837
    Abstract: An operation processing apparatus adapted to perform a data conversion on input bits has a logic circuit adapted to perform a data conversion on input bits. The logic circuit includes selectors configured in a hierarchical layer structure and controlled by select signals corresponding to the input bits. Constant values input to selectors located in a bottom layer of the hierarchical structure are selected and transferred toward a top layer from one layer to another. A constant value is finally selected and output from the top layer. The data conversion process is controlled by a control unit such that a pre-charge phase and an evaluation phase are performed alternately. In the pre-charge phase, all input values to the selectors are set to be equal. In the evaluation phase, an output bit for given input bits is produced. The select signals are switched in the pre-charge phase.

  • Patent number: 7505398
    Abstract: A radio relay system (1) comprises a wireless camera (11) and a signal receiving relay station (12). The wireless camera (11) wirelessly transmits signals to the signal receiving relay station (12) by using the OFDM modulation method. The wireless camera (11) and the signal receiving relay station (12) perform energy dispersion at the time of transmission-line-coding/decoding a transport stream. The PRBS seed (initial value) to be used for the energy dispersion can be externally modified and the user can arbitrarily select a value for the seed.

  • Patent number: 7403472
    Abstract: The time required for switch the channel can be remarkably curtailed. When broadcasting signals through a plurality of information channels with an OFDM system, the plurality of information channels are multiplexed in the sense of frequency and collectively subjected to IFFT modulation for connected transmission instead of subjecting the plurality of information channels independently to OFDM modulation for transmission. With this arrangement, the efficiency of exploitation of frequencies is improved. According to the invention, the OFDM frames are synchronized for each information channel for the purpose of connected transmission. Then, the OFDM receiver can switch the information channel for signal reception, maintaining the frame synchronizing signals.
