A server device having a content provider, a voice provider and an access number counter, etc. is arranged on the Internet. The content provider provides terminal devices connected to the Internet with the contents (e.g., contents of a chat) which are updated at predetermined intervals. The access number counter counts the number of terminal devices which have currently logged in to the contents provided by the content provider and have not logged out therefrom. The voice provider sets a voice level in accordance with a value counted by the access number counter, every time new contents are provided by the content provider, and provides voice data.

A logic circuit determines the power consumption of a semiconductor integrated device by taking into consideration the variation of the rate of operation. A control signal (TEST) is applied to each control signal input port (Tin) of flip-flop circuits of flip-flop circuit groups and a logic gate circuit having a plurality of input ports A and B in a combined circuit group. If the control signal (TEST) is low, both the flip-flop circuits and the logic gate circuit operate normally. However, if the control signal (TEST) is high, each of them performs the power consumption test. Regardless of the value of input signals applied to input ports D1 and D2 of the flip-flop circuits, the flip-flop circuits are controlled to have a repetitive output signal of high and low levels at ports Q1 and Q2, in synchronism with a clock signal. Through this operation test, operational failure is reduced and the quality of semiconductor chip production is guaranteed, because it is possible to predict accurately the power consumption when designing the logic circuit due to the relationship between the rate of operation and the power consumption.

The delay time for the transfer of data signals between pluralities of logic circuits is automatically regulated to be in a desired range. In order to regulate the delay time of the data signal transfer, a common standard signal SYNC is distributed to the logic circuits from a standard signal generator source. In the sending side of one logic circuit, the standard signal is applied through a selector circuit to a flip-flop circuit and then transferred to the receiving side of another logic circuit. Specifically, the transferred standard signal passes through a variable delay circuit to a flip flop circuit on the receiving side of the other logic circuit where it is compared with the standard signal received from the standard signal generator source, which has passed through a delay circuit of a standard delay value. The result of the comparison is used to adjust the variable delay circuit that controls the delay time for the transferred standard signal. Once the variable delay circuit is adjusted with the standard signal, the selector selects normal data signals for transfer between the logic circuits with the appropriate delay. The standard signal can also be used to synchronize the generation of test pattern signals generated in each of the logic circuits.

A condenser having a huge area is required to reduce a noise on LSI power supply nets (−&Dgr;VDD) of an integrated circuit because a bypass condenser can only utilize a part of accumulated electric charges. A noise of LSI power supply nets is suppressed by generating a noise of a reversed polarity (+&Dgr;VDD) to the noise on the LSI power supply nets (−&Dgr;VDD), based upon a noise reducing circuit discharging a condenser charged with a high voltage. A noise reduction effect equivalent to a bypass condenser having a large capacity is obtained even when a condenser having a small capacity is used.

In signal transmission lines among logic circuits employed in a semiconductor integrated circuit device, a voltage driver circuit is provided with such a wiring whose length is short, and the function of the signal receiving circuit is achieved by a logic circuit capable of responding to a voltage appearing at a terminal of the wiring. On the other hand, a source terminal of such a wiring whose length is long and whose resistance is high, is voltage-driven by the voltage driver circuit in response to the output voltage of the logic circuit. A current sense circuit is provided with a terminal of this long length wiring, which senses a current flowing through this long length wiring to be converted into a voltage. Both an output resistance of the voltage driver circuit and an input resistance of the current sense circuit are made lower than a DC resistance of this long length wiring.

A shift register 10 receives serial data and outputs parallel data in synchronism with the timing of the serial data received. A shift register group 20, 21 receives bit outputs of the parallel data from the shift register 10. The number of bits of shift registers 20, 21 in the shift register group is set in a certain condition that corresponds to the bit outputs of the parallel data from the shift register 10. A plurality of coincidence circuits 107, 108 are provided, which detects agreement between a preset data starting pattern and the bit arrangement of the data in the shift register group. A selector 306 selects a set of parallel outputs from the shift register group according to the output signal from the coincidence circuits 107, 108. Thus only the shift register 10, performs high-speed operations at the same timing as the received serial data, and the other circuits operate at slower speeds whose timing is several times longer than that of the serial data received, thereby eliminating complex timing and averting difficulty control logic.

A power source wiring supplies power to individual electronic circuits constituting an electronic circuit device. Load circuits are connected to the power source wiring within the range of an arrival time of a voltage noise occurring in the power source wiring in a time of about a half of a pulse width of a noise current at the time of the operation of the electronic circuit. Each of these load circuits includes a series circuit of a resistance and a capacitance.

A copying apparatus having a stapling function and a punching function. When the allowable sheet capacity for stapling is X and the allowable sheet capacity for punching is Y and the both the staple and punch modes are selected, the number of processable sheets in the staple/punch mode is determined by setting the value X or Y, whichever is smaller, as the sheet capacity of the device. While processing is on-going in the staple/punch mode, the staple/punch mode is cancelled when the number of copy sheets exceeds the capacity of the mode.

A copying machine having a sorter and a finisher is capable of operating in three different modes: a copying mode with sorting, a copying mode without sorting, and a stapling finish mode. When the stapling finish mode is selected, an automatic magnification selecting mode (AMS mode) is automatically chosen, wherein only copies of one size are made during the copying operation such that unsatisfactory stapling caused by copy sheets of differing size is prevented. Also, if one of a number of sorting bins of the copying machine is not being used while the copying machine is operating in the stapling finish mode, a copying operation can be carried out in the copying mode without sorting, utilizing that bin.
