Systems and methods are disclosed for enabling a recipient of a cryptographically-signed electronic communication to verify the authenticity of the communication on-the-fly using a signed chain of check values, the chain being constructed from the original content of the communication, and each check value in the chain being at least partially dependent on the signed root of the chain and a portion of the communication. Fault tolerance can be provided by including error-check values in the communication that enable a decoding device to maintain the chain's security in the face of communication errors. In one embodiment, systems and methods are provided for enabling secure quasi-random access to a content file by constructing a hierarchy of hash values from the file, the hierarchy deriving its security in a manner similar to that used by the above-described chain. The hierarchy culminates with a signed hash that can be used to verify the integrity of other hash values in the hierarchy, and these other hash values can, in turn, be used to efficiently verify the authenticity of arbitrary portions of the content file.

A fault tolerant graphics controller that generates error codes for graphics commands and checks the error codes before the graphics controller executes the command. The error code generator may be configured to detect and correct errors or to just detect errors. If an error is detected or an uncorrectable error occurs, the host computing system can be informed or interrupted, the erroneous command can be flushed from the graphics controller or the commands before and after the possibly erroneous command can be stored to help determine the erroneous command. Error codes can be generated on a block basis and stored in the frame buffer, thereby having minimal impact on system performance.

An interference-resistant wireless audio system includes a transceiver for transforming an audio signal into an RF signal, and a receiver for receiving RF signals in the air. The transceiver has an audio signal receiver, an audio data format converter, a frame and coding unit, a modulation module, an RF transceiver, a receiving / transmitting switch controller, an RF signal detector, and a channel switch controller electrically connected to the RF signal detector for controlling the RF transceiver to switch the used channel to another one after receiving a switch signal generated by the RF signal detector.

First and second acceleration sensor elements for detecting the acceleration of a vehicle in the direction in which the vehicle travels, and the acceleration of the vehicle in the direction transverse to the travel direction of the vehicle are mounted on a sensor substrate which is mounted on a control substrate of a vehicle control device. With the sensor substrate positioned such that the sensing directions of the respective sensor elements are perpendicular to or parallel to the vertical line, the outputs of the respective sensor elements are detected as zero errors or gain errors. The sensor substrate is then mounted on a vehicle and with the vehicle placed on a horizontal surface, a signal is sent to an electronic control unit (ECU) of the vehicle control device so that the ECU can recognize that the vehicle is horizontal. Based on the outputs from the first and second sensor elements at this time, the deviation angles of the sensor elements about the X-axis and Y-axis directions are calculated. The acceleration in the X-axis direction is calculated from signals from wheel speed sensors. Based on the deviation angles and the acceleration in the X-axis direction, the deviation angle of the sensor elements about the Z-axis is calculated. Based on the thus calculated deviation angles and zero errors and / or gain errors, the outputs of the sensor elements are corrected to obtain true accelerations in the X-axis and Y-axis directions.

A sample processing apparatus comprises an aspirating member which comprises a pump at one side and which is configured to aspirate a sample from the other side, a sensor which is configured to sense the presence or absence of a liquid at a predetermined position of the aspirating member, and a controller which is programmed to execute operations. The operations comprise controlling the aspirating member to aspirate a sample, obtaining a first sensing result by the sensor when the aspirating member aspirates a sample, controlling the aspirating member to aspirate air after aspirating a sample, obtaining a second sensing result by the sensor when the aspirating member aspirates air, and detecting an error in the aspirating operation, based on the first sensing result and the second sensing result.
