A disclosed anonymous authentication system comprises a group management device, an authentication-subjected user device, a verification device and an authentication-subjected user identification device. A user previously registers a verification key in the group management device such that his signature can be verified. For authentication, the user generates his or her own signature using the authentication-subjected user device, and encrypts the signature using an encryption key of the group to generate authentication data. The verification device authenticates the signature in collaboration with a verification assistant who has a decryption key of the group. The authentication-subjected user identification device that has the decryption key of the group decrypts the authentication data as required to identify a user who is to be authenticated.

An ambidextrous charging handle for a Stoner-type firearm. The charging handle comprises two separate assemblies, these being an oblong handle that contains a latch assembly and a central shaft member. The parts are joined together by a compound pivoting arrangement in which a combination of the latch assembly and alignment grooves in the central shaft member interacting with slidingly engage a locating flange on the oblong handle, and a pair of pivoting connectors that secure the latch assembly to the oblong handle and the central shaft member independently from one another. The latch assembly includes cam activation via a retention relief cut acting against a fixed minor pivot connector. The second point of retention for the assembly is via a major pivoting connector the combination of which transmits the retraction force applied to the oblong handle on one end of the latch assembly and to the central shaft member through the interconnection of the minor pivot connector located at the proximal end of the latch body.

Several preferred embodiments of 1S1F 16T NVSRAM, 1S1F 20T NVSRAM, 1S2F 22T NVSRAM, 1S2F 14T NVSRAM cells are proposed, regardless of 1-poly, 2-poly, PMOS or NOS flash cell structures. Two separate sourcelines for the paired flash Strings are also proposed for easy adding ability for the NVSRAM circuit to detect the marginally erased Vt0 and marginally programmed Vt1 of the paired flash cell. By increasing an resistance added to common SRAM power line, the pull-down current through flash Strings to grounding source line can be made much larger than the pull-up current to improve SFwrite program operation. Simple method by increasing flash cell channel length to effectively enhance coupling area is applied to secure SRAM-to-Flash store operation under self-boost-program-inhibit scheme. 1S2F architecture also provide flexibility for alternate erasing and programming during both a recall and store operation.

Secondary battery protection circuit
InactiveUS20100117602A1Reduce power consumptionAvoid chargingElectric powerBattery overcharge protectionOvervoltageElectrical conductor
A secondary battery protection circuit has: a first switch that permits or inhibits charging of a secondary battery by switching a charge conductor between a conducting and a non-conducting state; a voltage detection portion that monitors the voltage of the secondary battery to output an error signal when the voltage is an overvoltage; and a first current path that has one end connected to the positive-side conductor and the other end connected to the negative-side conductor, and through which a current corresponding to the supplied electric power passes. The first current path, other than during charging of the secondary battery, is kept in a non-conducting state and, when the error signal is outputted while the first current path is in a conducting state, is irreversibly brought into a non-conducting state by a current of a predetermined amount or more passing therethrough. The first switch, when the first current path is in a conducting state, permits charging and, when the first current path is in a non-conducting state, inhibits charging. Thus, other than during charging, electric power consumption associated with overcharge protection is reduced, and once an overcharged state occurs, charging never again takes place.
