    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technique for strengthening a connecting force between a flip chip IC and a substrate. SOLUTION: At least either an IC or a substrate is provided with an anchor (fixed) point 702 so that a connecting force between the IC and the substrate can be improved. The anchor (fixed) point 702 can be a through-hole passing through the IC or the substrate, or a groove, or a surface recessed part such as a notched part. The anchor (fixed) point 702 can be packed with a lower side packing substrate during under-fill, that is, a lower side packing processing period (302) This anchor (fixed) point 702 can apply additional mechanical strength to a bonding force, that is, the connecting force between the IC and the substrate.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To store and retrieve mass data which are required at the time of being sequentially accessed by storing each succeeding data of a stripe in a word in a memory having an adjacent word address after a word storing data of the preceding row. SOLUTION: A memory buffer 210 belongs to a memory of a device having a main decoder. A position in the memory is selected as a 1st word 208 and data in a 1st row of a 1st stripe 202 of a picture are stored in the word 208. Succeeding data in the 1st row one stored in the succeeding work 214. This is continuously executed about the entire stripe 202. One row of the stripe 202 is stored in a word just after a word storing a preceding row of the stripe 202. A 1st row of the succeeding stripe 204 is stored in a word 217 which is next to a word 215 storing data of the last row of the preceding stripe 202 and has a word address that is adjacent to it.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an improved device which can preserve and recover states of various registers in a microprocessor by providing a means to recover 1st sate information from a 1st register set when a 2nd task is switched to a 1st task if the 1st state information is not corrected. SOLUTION: A means is provided to recover 1st state information from a 1st register set when a 2nd task is switched to a 1st task as long as the 1st state information is not corrected. This device includes two sets of registers, i.e., registers 0 and 1. When a CPU stores a floating-point state or environment in a memory as an image, this state or environment is stored in an additional internal register as a copy. Then necessary information is recovered from the additional register when the CPU must recover the state or environment. Thus, it's possible to evade a case where the image is loaded again from a main memory.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an inexpensive non-mechanical pointer position controller of a small size by detecting the change of fingerprint pattern of a user and giving input to a computer system, based on the change of the fingerprint pattern. SOLUTION: The change of fingerprint pattern of a user is detected and the input is given to a computer system, based on the change of the fingerprint pattern. A user input device 19 has a detection element 21 which detects the thumb of the user or its motion as shown by an imaginary line 23 to control the X and Y positions of a pointer 17 on a screen 15. The element 21 also detects the change of the peak width of a fingerprint or the lifting of a finger on the element 21. The change caused on the element 21 by the finger pressure is detected to control the Z position of the pointer 17 or the button input given to a processor. A pointer controller 25 receives the output from the device 19 and generates the output to control the position of the pointer 17 on the screen 15.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To save power and also to attain the quick access by reorganize a memory so that the number of 1s of memory cells of respective rows and columns of an array become smaller than that of 0s of the cells to reduce the number of transistors to be connected to bit lines. SOLUTION: When the number of 1s in respective rows and respective columns of data cells of a matrix shaped array is larger than the number of 0s, the reorganizing of the memory is performed by inverting the data cells alternately every row and column and by performing inversions repeatedly until all rows and columns become so as to have at least the number of 1s equal to that of the number of 0s. Then, flag data at that time are stored in corresponding flag memories being in the cells to be connected to inverters 122. Transistors of only, memory cells having 1s are connected to bit lines 116. As a result, the number of running transistors is reduced by reorganizing a memory 100 while reducing the number of cells having is in this manner. Moreover, a data circuit array has cells for storages 110 of the reorganized array, a data read circuit and an address circuit and the inverting of bits are performed by XOR gates 120.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus is disclosed. In one embodiment, a smart card has an IC with voltage conditioning circuitry and a pull-up resistor. The card is capable of signaling a host over a bus using the resistor selectively coupled to a voltage output of the conditioning circuitry and a first output of the card. The conditioning circuitry output is selectively coupled to the first output through the resistor, responsive to being powered by the bus but not transmitting. This tends to pull up the first output to the voltage level of the voltage source, making the card capable of being detected by the host upon the bus being driven by a host. Selectively disconnecting the resistor while transmitting or receiving results in a more balanced output. Since the resistor and conditioning circuitry are an integrated part of the IC, no separate contact is required for voltage to the resistor, permiting compatibity with the contact configuration of certain existing smart cards, and eliminating a pull-up resistor or conditioning circuitry in a card reader.

    Abstract: Improved interpolator (1304) and decimator (1324) apparatus and methods, including the addition of an elastic storage element (192) comprises a FIFO which advantageously allows short term variation in sample clocks to be absorbed, and also provides a feedback mechanism for controlling a delta-sigma modulated modulo-N counter based sample clock generator. The elastic element combined with a delta-sigma modulator and counter creates a noise-shaped frequency lock loop without additional components, resulting in a much simplified imterpolator and decimator.
