摘要:
In order to provide a built-in self testing function, a one-chip microcomputer is equipped with an activation register for activating the test operation and a built-in self test activation pattern generator for setting initial values at test control circuits (pseudo random number generator, logical circuit testing compressor, pattern generator, and memory testing compressor). In accordance with an instruction from the CPU, a built-in self test is activated so that the results of tests of the memory and the group of logical circuits are read from the memory testing compressor and the logical circuit testing compressor, and respectively compared with expected values preliminarily stored in the memory in the one-chip microcomputer; thus, the results are diagnosed. Thus, it is possible to carry out a built-in self test without using a plurality of exclusively-used test terminals.

A 1-chip microcomputer having a built-in nonvolatile memory includes at least one erasable flash memory provided in a memory space of the microcomputer, a boot ROM for storing an initial program to start up the 1-chip microcomputer and a transfer program to transfer the initial program to the flash memory, and control means for, when the flash memory stores no program, transferring the initial program to the flash memory in accordance with the transfer program and subsequently removing the boot ROM from the memory space. Consequently, even if a new program is additionally stored to the nonvolatile memory in the 1-chip microcomputer, the additional program can be carried out.

A turn signal switch device capable of setting angles (release angles) in case a first lever member deviates from an outer peripheral face of a canceling projection and advances into a rotational locus at the time of right-turn operation and left-turn operation to the same angle is provided. A bent portion that is bent toward a rotational locus of a canceling projection is formed on the side of a free end of a first arm portion that protrudes linearly from a winding portion of a torsion coil spring, and when a distal end of a first lever member is dragged by the rotation of the canceling projection, and rotates in a direction away from the winding portion of the torsion coil spring, a resilient force is given to the first lever member from the bent portion of the first arm portion and a distal end on the side of the free end.

A certificate authority for certifying the validity of the collation result from a user terminal is placed on a communication network. The user terminal identifies a user himself or herself by collation by using biometrical information of the user. In response to notification of the collation result from the user terminal across the communication network, a service providing apparatus requests across the communication network the certificate authority to certify the validity of the collation result. When a certificate which certifies the validity of the collation result is notified from the certificate authority across the communication network, the service providing apparatus provides a predetermined service to the user.

A thin film magnetic head includes a recording and playback element, a lead conductor layer for feeding a power to the recording and playback element, an electrically conductive bump for conductively connecting the lead conductor layer to an electrode pad for external connection, and an insulating protective layer filling between the recording and playback element and the electrically conductive bump. A thermal deformation-preventing layer composed of a material having a thermal expansion coefficient smaller than that of the insulating protective layer is disposed in the insulating protective layer in such a way as to locate between a medium-facing surface and the electrically conductive bump without being exposed at the medium-facing surface. In the resulting thin film magnetic head, protrusion of the recording and playback element toward the recording medium side can be prevented without changing the configuration of the recording and playback element nor the forming material.

An image capturing apparatus includes an image capturing section and capture control section. The image capturing section converts the shape of an object into an electrical quantity in accordance with the parameter value set in a parameter setting section, and outputs image data representing an image corresponding to the shape of the object. The capture control section receives the image data output from the image capturing section, calculates an evaluation index for evaluating the image quality of the image from the image data. If the evaluation index falls outside the range of a preset reference value, the capture control section changes the parameter value set in the parameter setting section so as to make the evaluation index fall within the range of the reference value to output the image data which is received from the image capturing section and the evaluation index of which falls within the range of the reference value. An image capturing method and a fingerprint collation method and apparatus are also disclosed.
