The invention relates to a method for generating a two-dimensional code and implementing mobile payment by a mobile phone. A user can input various payment card information (such as bank card account numbers, credit card account numbers, prepaid card account numbers, and third party payment user account numbers) into the mobile phone, the information is enciphered and stored, and then the two-dimensional code is generated and displayed on a screen of the mobile phone. A merchant scans a pattern of the two-dimensional code through a two-dimensional code identifying and reading device, and after user authentication information (such as two-dimensional code generation time, mobile phone fingerprints and mobile phone positions) and the payment card information are decoded, the user authentication information, the payment card information, consumption amount information of the user, merchant account number information and the like are enciphered and sent to a corresponding payment and settlement system. After receiving the information, a payment and settlement server confirms the payment card information to be true or false according to the two-dimensional code authentication information, and carries out payment transaction. The method has the main advantage that the user can save the information of various payment cards, consumption cards and the like in the mobile phone and realize no-card electronic payment transaction instead of the various payment cards.

A game apparatus is capable of controlling infrared radiation means for radiating infrared light. The game apparatus executes game processing using imaging information on the infrared light obtained from an input device. The input device takes an image of the infrared light radiated by the infrared radiation means, and also receives an input from a user. The game apparatus comprises pattern storage means; selection means; and radiation control means. The pattern storage means stores at least one signal pattern of an infrared signal usable by a control target device. The selection means selects at least one of the at least one signal pattern stored by the pattern storage means, using the input received by the input device. The radiation control means causes the infrared radiation means to output an infrared signal of the signal pattern selected by the selection means.

A carbon credit is a generic term for any tradable certificate or permit representing the right to emit one ton of carbon dioxide or the mass of another greenhouse gas with a carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO2e) equivalent to one ton of carbon dioxide.

Carbon credits and carbon markets are a component of national and international attempts to mitigate the growth in concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHGs). One carbon credit is equal to one ton of carbon dioxide, or in some markets, carbon dioxide equivalent gases. Carbon trading is an application of an emissions trading approach. Greenhouse gas emissions are capped and then markets are used to allocate the emissions among the group of regulated sources.

Carbon credits can be generated by any process that conforms to ISO 14064-66 standards. Once generated, carbon credits can be stored in a distributed, Cloud-based ledger. The ledger entries can serve as a registry for carbon credits as well as the data source for an Internet-enabled trading system or financial exchange that allows the carbon credits to be sold and bought as part of the same system. The distributed ledger can provide records that combine the details of the carbon credits' origin, transaction history, and financial instructions associated with trading of the carbon credits via a distributed ledger system.

An integrated circuit device as a first IC chip, a second IC chip, and a circuit board having a hole formed therein that is large enough to permit the second IC chip to be accommodated therein. The first and second IC chips are bonded together so as to be electrically connected together, and the first IC chip is mounted on the circuit board with the second IC chip accommodated in the hole formed in the circuit board. Here, one of the IC chips forming a chip-on-chip structure is accommodated in the hole formed in the circuit board, making further thickness reduction possible. Moreover, the obverse surfaces of the IC chips are located closer to the circuit board, making possible wireless mounting of the IC chips, despite forming a chip-on-chip structure, on the circuit board through connection using bumps. This helps reduce trouble due to inductance in a circuit that handles a high-frequency signal.

In a plasma film forming apparatus, two first electrodes 51 connected to a power source 4 and two grounded second electrodes 52 are arranged in the order of the second electrode 52, the first electrode 51, the first electrode 51 and the second electrode 52. A first flow passage 50a formed between the central first electrodes 51 allows a raw material gas (first gas) for being formed into a film to pass therethrough. A plasma discharge space 50b of a second flow passage formed between the first and second electrodes 51, 52 on the both sides allows an excitable gas (second gas) to pass therethrough, which excitable gas is exited by plasma such that the raw material can be formed into a film, but that the excitable gas itself is merely excited but not formed into a film. Those gases are converged at a crossing part 20c between the first and second flow passages and blown off via a common blowoff passage 25a. By this, the apparatus composing members such as electrodes can be prevented from being adhered with a film.
