摘要:
A memory device comprises a base plate with a memory element supporting layer, a probe with a pointed tip portion, and a fine scan element for causing the probe to scan over the surface of the memory element supporting layer. When the probe is approached to the surface of the memory element supporting layer and a suitable bias voltage is applied across the probe and the memory element supporting layer, a tunnel current is cause to flow therebetween and a specific region of the surface of the supporting layer is excited. The excited region can adsorb one molecule of, for example, di-(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate. By causing the memory element to be adsorbed selectively on the memory element supporting layer, data is recorded in the form of a projection-and-recess pattern. The recorded data can be read out by observing the surface configuration of the supporting layer in accordance with the principle of an STM (scanning tunneling microscope).

A micro scanning tunneling microscope ("STM") arithmetic circuit device comprises an information-rewritable micro STM recording medium and a micro STM recording apparatus which temporarily stores information on the recording medium such that the information can be read as a variation in a tunnel current. The recording apparatus has a probe (probes) for writing/reading information on the recording medium and a scanner for varying a relationship in position between the probe and the recording medium. The micro STM recording apparatus uses a recording medium having a specific format as the micro STM recording medium in which recorded information is read as a variation in a tunnel current. That is, the recording medium has an address area in which address information is recorded and a data area in which data information is recorded.

A scanning tunneling microscope memory apparatus comprises first and second integrated circuit (IC) substrates. First and second cantilevers, which can be moved by piezoelectric elements, are arranged on the first and second IC substrates, respectively. Tunnel current probes are provided on a free end of the first cantilever, and a recording element is provided on a free end of the second cantilever. The first and second cantilevers are spaced from each other and overlap such that the tunnel current probes face the recording element. The first or second substrate includes a charge coupled device (CCD) circuit, a control circuit for controlling the CCD circuit and cantilevers, and a drive circuit having a preamplifier, a write circuit, and a servo circuit.

A data storage apparatus includes a first lever body having a piezoelectric driving section, and a second lever body which is disposed to separate from and to be perpendicular to the first lever body, and has a piezoelectric driving section. A recording medium is formed on a portion of the second lever body, and records desired data. A plurality of probes are disposed on a portion of the first lever body to oppose the recording medium at a predetermined interval, and detect a change in state at predetermined positions on the recording medium as a change in tunnel current or a change in three-dimensional pattern. A voltage applying circuit alternately applies predetermined voltages to the piezoelectric driving sections of the first and second lever bodies to separately drive the plurality of probes in different directions, thereby three-dimensionally scanning the recording medium.

A DB interface is provided between each subscriber database, which stores information associated with each goods including an aesthetic/sensuous attribute unique to each subscriber, and a basic DB, which stores support information for supporting goods planning of each subscriber by electronic processing. The DB interface converts the aesthetic/sensuous attribute to data corresponding to a unified classification and a unified evaluation axis of the basic DB so as to cause the basic DB to fetch the information of each subscriber database as part of the support information.

Liquid crystal eyeglasses include a detector for detecting a physical quantity which varies with the temperature of the liquid crystal, the orientation of molecules of the liquid crystal or a change in the refractive index of the liquid crystal. The voltage applied to the liquid crystal is controlled in accordance with an output signal from the detector, thus compensating for a change in the refractive index of the liquid crystal which is attributable to a temperature change and maintaining the refractive index constant.

A delivery service management system utilizes a two-dimensional bar code having key information for specifying the source of a material and content information of this material and attached in a delivery service, a two-dimensional bar code having key information for specifying the source of an item obtained by processing the material and content information of the item and attached in a delivery service, and a two-dimensional bar code having key information for specifying a seller of the item and content information describing a selling condition of the item and attached in a delivery service. Every time a delivery service has occurred between the material system, the processing system, and the selling system, the key information and the content information are received from the two-dimensional bar code to a database. Delivery service information associated with a given source is fed back to the given source represented by the key information from a set of pieces of received information.

A liquid crystal spectacle includes a pair of liquid crystal lenses and a frame holding the lenses. The frame has a pair of temples and a pair of ear pieces attached individually to the temples. Each ear piece houses a battery for supplying the voltage to the corresponding lens. Each temple houses a regulator circuit for regulating the voltage supplied from the battery to the lens, thereby controlling the refractive index of the lens.

A data service company comprises an integrated database (DB) in which various business data dispersively kept in each part in an apparel industry including plan, manufacture, and sales relating to a dress as a product and textile raw material as material is integrated and a host computer (integrated database management system) including a computer hardware and a software for retrieving data from the integrated DB in accordance with data service to be provided and for outputting data. There is formed a data service network in which the integrated DB of the data service company is provided as the nucleus, and a plurality of sales companies, that of apparel manufacturers, that of sewing companies and that of textile companies are connected to each other. When a business instruction is sent from each terminal provided in each of the sales companies, the apparel manufacturers, the sewing companies and the textile companies, the database management system connected to each terminal to be accessible to each other through a public telephone line suitably retrieves various data necessary for supporting the business from a plurality of databases of the integrated DB, and outputs data to satisfy the terminal.
