Systems and methods are disclosed, especially designed for very compact hardware implementations, to generate random number strings with a high level of entropy at maximum speed. For immediate deployment of software implementations, certain permutations have been introduced to maintain the same level of unpredictability which is more amenable to hi-level software programming, with a small time loss on hardware execution; typically when hardware devices communicate with software implementations. Particular attention has been paid to maintain maximum correlation immunity, and to maximize non-linearity of the output sequence. Good stream ciphers are based on random generators which have a large number of secured internal binary variables, which lead to the page synchronized stream ciphering. The method for parsed page synchronization which is presented is especially valuable for Internet applications, where occasionally frame sequences are often mixed. The large number of internal variables with fast diffusion of individual bits wherein the masked message is fed back into the machine variables is potentially ideal for message authentication procedures.

The invention concerns an image-capturing apparatus and an imager. The image-capturing apparatus includes the imager in which a plurality of circuit cells are two-dimensionally aligned, and an electronic charge, photo-electronically converted from a received light and stored in each circuit cell, can be discharged from an arbitral circuit cell. The imager includes first group circuit cells to generate electronic charges corresponding to the pixels of the image including a subject, and second group circuit cells to generate electronic charges corresponding to an amount of light coming from the subject, the electronic charges further being converted to a detected value. In the imager, at least one of two operations of halting a generating-action of the electronic charges in the first group circuit cells and discharging the electronic charges from the first group circuit cells is performed, when the detected value exceeds a threshold value.

A skip mask mechanism is implemented in a disc drive in order to increase performance by minimizing the number of necessary disc rotations required while executing a set of pseudo-sequential commands. The drive includes an interface between the host computer and the drive, a read/write channel between the interface and the transducer/head, a formatter between the interface and the read/write channel for timing when data is transferred between the interface and the read/write channel, and a skip mask mechanism interposed between a target calculator and the formatter that provides a masked input to the formatter for controlling passage of data between the interface and the read/write channel.

In a display device, pixel electrodes I, II and III corresponding to color filters R, G and B are coupled to TFTs which are turned on in accordance with signals on gate lines G, and the drain (source) of the TFT coupled to the pixel electrode II is connected with the source (drain) of the TFT coupled to the pixel electrode III. A signal voltage is written in the pixel electrode I when the gate line G1a is in the “on” state, a signal voltage is written in the pixel electrode II when the gate line G1b is in the “on” state, and a signal voltage is written in the pixel electrode III when the gate lines G1a and G1b are both in the “on” state. Signal voltages are written in the pixel electrodes III, I and II in this order mentioned.

A method and system for a chance-board-game with a board presentation and numerical matrix to define position and focus for chance game. The apparatus (G-Box) is a portable gaming device which includes an addressable touch screen with advanced networking, security and video graphics enabling a player to concurrently participate in multiple games of chance. Menu driven with an imbedded matrix processor, the device allows a player to actively or passively participate in multiple games, including CHINGO WORLD™ Games, Bingo, Keno, Roulette, Slot Machines and with an imbedded Alert and Notification Processor (ANP) that empowers a chance player to not only accurately play hundreds of game “cards” but also automatically monitor complex games and thus not miss any “wins” while complying with all game win notification requirements. The 6×6 matrix CHINGO game may be played using the apparatus (G-Box) for active or passive gaming or CHINGO games may be played using traditional manual cards and sheets of cards. The apparatus (G-Box) is designed to facilitate gaming within a gaming facility (Casino) or to participate in controlled open gaming through a standard cable and a national CHINGO gaming network.

A rotation sensor for outputting a pulse signal, which has a frequency corresponding to a rotation speed of a rotor, to a wire. The rotation sensor includes a modulation unit and an output unit. The modulation unit modulates an information signal representing information other than the rotation speed into a carrier wave having a frequency higher than the frequency of the pulse signal. The output unit superimposes and outputs to the wire the pulse signal and the carrier wave. Accordingly, the rotation sensor performs stable information transmission that is not dependent on the rotation speed of the rotor.

The receiver (1) for radio-frequency signals (SV1, SV2, SV3, SV4), modulated by specific codes of transmitting sources, such as satellites (S1, S2, S3, 54), includes receiving and shaping means with frequency conversion for the radio-frequency signals for generating intermediate signals, a correlation stage formed of several correlation channels for receiving the intermediate signals and microprocessor means connected to the correlation stage in order to process the extracted data after correlation. Each channel includes a correlator in which the intermediate signals are correlated with at least two early and late replicas of the specific code of a visible transmitting source to be searched and tracked. The correlator further includes integrator counters for the correlated signals to provide a first amplitude value of the auto-correlation function of the early signals and a second amplitude value for the late signals. When multipath signals (SV1′, SV3′) are detected in the first operating channel, at least a second unused channel is configured, via the microprocessor means, and connected in parallel to the first channel. The second channel has the task of searching the maximum amplitude value between the two amplitude values of the first operating channel. The receiver, in particular of the GPS type, can be mounted in the case of a watch and powered by the energy accumulator or battery of the watch.

A heat dissipation module for an electronic component is provided. The heat dissipation module includes a supporting structure and a heat pipe. The supporting structure is adjacent to the heat electronic component.

A circuit substrate for a power source system and a communication system is disposed in the connection unit. The circuit substrate includes a power source input connector to which power is input, a power divider that divides power input from the power source input connector into plural types, and a power source output connector and a communication connector that output each power divided by the power divider to each scanner apparatus.

A cryostat has a tank for accommodation of a coolant and at least one superconducting magnet coil to generate a magnetic field. The tank has on a top side at least one tower pipe for filling the coolant and/or for venting vaporized coolant. In order to immediately indicate if and when sealing of filling pipes and discharging pipes with (for example) ice has occurred, a pressure sensor is connected via a pressure sensor pipe with the inside of the tank.
