Disclosed is an improvement in methods for reading bar codes, enabling the codes to be read even under difficult conditions of uneven printing, stained background, poor contrast, cut bars etc. Instead of merely detecting light absorption or reflection spikes when a detector is moved in front of the code, where the presence of a bar is indicated when a threshold is exceeded, the following method is used: a matrix image of black and white pixels is set up; the sum Tj of black pixels of each column is counted to draw up a curve Tj as a function of the abscissa j of columns; a threshold SDA is established for Tj, below which, in principle, the columns do not contain a portion of a bar code bar; blocks of columns going beyond the threshold SDA are demarcated, and all the other columns of the image are eliminated; then shape recognition is carried out on the remaining blocks to ascertain whether the block truly corresponds to a bar or not. The value SDA is established by a recurrent computation that brings into play the ratio between surfaces Sinf and Ssup, above and below the threshold SDA in the curve Tj= f(j).

A read circuit is disclosed for logic circuit type integrated circuits comprising a memory consisting of a matrix of memory cells. The memory cells are each addressable by rows and columns selected by row and column decoders. The read circuit, which is connected to the memory cells by a line called a bit line, comprises a pre-loading circuit for the bit line and a detection circuit that detects the discharging or non-discharging of the bit line depending on whether the memory cell selected is in the state "0" or "1", and also comprises a means to memorize the state that is read. The circuit further comprises means which make it possible, in read mode, to discharge the bit line regardless of whether the memory cell is in the state "1" or "0" and means that delay the moment of discharge. The invention can be applied to EPROMs or similar memories.

A circuit for the filtering of a pulse signal comprises means to detect an output pulse upon the detection of an input pulse, the shape of this output pulse being based on elementary delays obtained by the charging and discharging of capacitors. During the generation of the output pulse, no new input pulse can be taken into account.

To reserve a supply of a good or service, a chip type memory card is inserted into a terminal of a reserving device. This reserving device makes the reservation by sending indications about this reservation to a terminal located near the goods or services to be delivered. On the agreed date and at the agreed place, the renting party goes to this terminal and inserts his memory card therein. The terminal then tells him where and how he should get and use the service or good reserved by him. This system can be applied in particular when the good or service to be obtained by self-service concerns the renting of a vehicle.
摘要:
A method for enlarging part of an analog input signal, and a circuit to implement this method. The circuit includes an amplifier which receives the analog input signal, the gain of which is controlled by a programming signal which varies as a function of the leading edge of the analog input signal and of a maximum threshold of the output signal from the circuit. A subtractor receives a substraction signal which is a function of an upper threshold and a lower threshold of the output signal from the circuit, and a signal from the amplifier, and then provides the output signal from the circuit.

The use of chip cards, with the level of security of the type associated with chip cards of the type used by banks, is extended to move widespread use by organizing a secure dispatch of blank chip cards to customers wishing to program specific applications therein. The system consists in sending this customer the blank chip card itself and a programming access key to this card, by separate routes. To prevent any additional risks, the access key is itself enciphered and can be deciphered only be a deciphering element in the possession of the customer. The card can then be programmed only if this card is confronted with its deciphering key.

A method for testing electrically programmable memories is disclosed. To enable the measurement of the current of programmed cells and blank cells (and not only to check whether the cells are programmed or not), and to enable this measurement even after the memory has been encapsulated in a package, it is proposed herein to connect, in testing mode, the bit line of a cell to be tested with the programming terminals to which there is applied, in programming mode, the programming high voltage Vpp. A low voltage Vte is applied to this terminal in testing mode, and the current flowing between this terminal and the voltage source is measured. This current is the current of the tested cell.

A method for positioning an electronic component and its contacts on a card is disclosed. The electronic component is first of all placed in the cavity of the card, then the electrical contacts are placed on the card and electrically connected to the output terminals by a so-called tape automatic bonding process using a film on which the electrical contacts are deposited.
