摘要:
A bar-code reader which reads a bar code label through the scanning operation comprises a waveform processing circuit, a memory unit for storing data in a serial manner in synchronism with the scanning across the bar code symbol, an extraction unit for extracting a bar code symbol from the output of the memory unit, and a decoding unit for decoding the bar code symbol based on the output of the extraction unit.

A bar code reader has a CCD for producing an image signal, an amplifier for amplifying the image signal from the CCD and a digitalizing circuit for changing the image signal to binary signal. The CCD operates with an operating voltage Vcc less than 8 V. The amplifier has first and second operational amplifiers each having one voltage source terminal connected to Vcc of 5 V and the other voltage source terminal connected to ground. Also, the digitalizing circuit has a third operational amplifier having one voltage source terminal connected to Vcc of 5 V and the other voltage source terminal connected to ground.

A photo-detecting device that enables a solid-state image sensor to meet the requirement of higher quality imaging including: a first silicon substrate 120 having p- and n-type regions; a first SOI substrate 130 in which a second silicon substrate 132 having p- and n-type regions is formed on a first SOI insulation layer 131; and a second SOI substrate 140 in which a third silicon substrate 142 having p- and n-type regions is formed on a second SOI insulation layer 141. Each pn-junction of the first silicon substrate 120, the second silicon substrate 132, and the third silicon substrate 142 forms a photodiode for converting incident light into electric charges. The depth of each pn-junction, which is measured from the surface of the second SOI substrate 140 irradiated with the light, is determined according to absorption length of light to be converted into electric charges.

A semiconductor photodetecting device is provided for enabling a solid-state image sensor to meet the requirements of higher quality imaging and more reduction in cost. The photodetecting device of the present invention includes: a semiconductor substrate; and an epitaxial layer formed on the semiconductor substrate by epitaxial growth. The epitaxial layer has a multilayer structure including: a first pn junction layer; a first insulating layer; a second pn junction layer; a second insulating layer; and a third pn junction layer. The first insulating layer and the second insulating layer have openings, and the first pn junction layer and the second pn junction layer are adjacent to each other through the openings of the first insulating layer which is placed in between these pn junction layers, and the second pn junction layer and the third pn junction layer are adjacent to each other through the openings of the second insulating layer which is placed in between these pn junction layers. Each of the insulating layers has a periodic structure of refractive indices in the stacking direction as well as a periodic structure of similar-shaped openings which are concentric in the in-plane direction, and therefore has filtering and light condensing functions for the pn junction layer which is formed beneath the insulating layer.

摘要:
To provide a contactless IC tag for storing secret information for each of multiple stages of a life cycle from manufacture to disposal, and an access device for reading/writing information in secrecy from/to the contactless IC tag for each stage. A memory unit has stage storage areas as many as the stages. Each stage storage area is identified by a secret stage identifier. A controlling unit receives an access identifier from the access device in secrecy, via an antenna unit, a demodulating unit, and an instruction decoding unit. Upon judging that the access identifier properly identifies one of the stage storage areas, the controlling unit receives access information from the access device, and an inputting/outputting unit accesses the stage storage area based on the access information.
