A current detecting device has: a bus bar through which a current under measurement flows; a fastening member for fastening an external member to the bus bar; a chassis formed integrally with the bus bar and a shield, the chassis holding the bus bar and fastening member in a mutual contact state; and a magnetic sensor placed so as to face the bus bar, the magnetic sensor being capable of detecting a magnetic field generated when the current under measurement flows through the bus bar. The bus bar has a fastening terminal portion on the same side as an end of the bus bar, the fastening terminal portion being in contact with the external member. A connection surface is provided so as to be exposed from the chassis, the connection surface being a surface through which the fastening terminal portion is brought into contact with the external member.

Current detecting device

A current sensor according to the present invention includes a bus bar through which a measuring current flows; a nut with which the bus bar and an external terminal are brought into contact with and fastened to each other; a magnetic sensor capable of detecting a magnetic field generated when a current flows through the bus bar; a case member having a housing area in which the magnetic sensor is allowed to be housed, the case member sealing the bus bar and the nut inside; and a cover member provided over the housing area. The case member has an open part in which a portion of the nut is exposed. The open part is covered by an insulative protective member. Therefore, shavings generated when a bolt for fastening an external terminal is screwed into the nut are prevented from dropping to the outside of the current sensor.

Fixed conductive plates are buried in a case. In its internal space, a first contact surface, which is part of each fixed conductive plate, and a second contact surface, which is an inner surface of the case, are opposite to each other, and an elastic conductive plate is interposed in this opposing portion. The elastic conductive plate is structured so that, in a restricting portion, a support piece portion is fitted to the thin plate portion of the fixed conductive plate and that an elastic arm portion extends from the support piece portion.

Fixed conductive plates are buried in a case. In its internal space, a first contact surface, which is part of each fixed conductive plate, and a second contact surface, which is an inner surface of the case, are opposite to each other, and an elastic conductive plate is interposed in this opposing portion. The support piece portion of the elastic conductive plate, is constrained from above by a restricting support portion and from below by a restricting opposing portion at a position close to a boundary portion with an elastic arm portion.

A first main body portion and a second main body portion of an electronic package are mounted on a mount portion of a support body, first metal projections are caused to enter first receiving recesses, and second metal projections are caused to enter second receiving recesses. When a clip member is mounted in the a first direction, the first metal projections are pressed by first pressing portions of the clip member, the second metal projections are pressed by second pressing portions of the clip member, and an elastic piece is pressed against a rear side of the support body. Thus, the electronic package is secured.

There are provided a screensaver displaying method and an information processing system in which characters arbitrarily selected or input by a user can be displayed with a simple operation during starting of a screensaver in the screensaver started at a time when an IC card or the like is pulled out. In the screensaver displaying method and the information processing system in which a computer is usable, while a user authentication device such as the IC card is set in a card reader and writer, and a screensaver screen is displayed and input into the computer cannot be performed, when the IC card or the like is pulled out and the user authentication device is not recognized, a control section of a processing device displays character contents set corresponding to a specific key in the screensaver screen of a display unit, when the specific key is pressed within a specific time after the IC card is pulled out.

Screensaver display method and information processing system

The present invention provides a data updating method and a data updating system, which can update data of an IC card through a network without mistaking the IC card targeted for updating. When each of issuer client authentication, personal authentication, issuer server authentication and device authentication is performed, a server transmits update data encrypted by a public key used for the device authentication to a client. Then, the client outputs the encrypted update data to an IC card. In the IC card, the update data is decrypted by a secret key used for the device authentication. Based on the decrypted update data, rewriting is carried out in the IC card.

Data updating method and data updating system

The present invention is to provide a memory rental service system in an intelligent authentication unit, the system allowing an application operating entity to set up or change any application freely and easily at a reduced cost of operating the application. In other words, the system is to separately lease one or more specific areas of a memory in the intelligent authentication unit (IAU) for independently authenticating personal identification such as fingerprints, to one or more operators who operate specific applications. A write API distributed to the operator is used to write the contents such as data or a program written in a specific area, while a read/write API is used to authenticate personal identification so as to read the written contents such as the data or program stored in the specific area and operate the application specified by the APL.

A disc ejection device is provided separate from a disk loading device in a disc device for disc playback or recording. When a disc loaded on a turntable in a disc driving section is ejected, it is lifted up by a moving table, is fed out by a first ejection member, and is then ejected from an ejection slot by a second ejection member disposed near the ejection slot. Immediately after the first ejection member feeds out the disc, it returns to an initial retracted state so as to allow a new disc to be loaded into the disc driving section. Accordingly, the loaded disc and a new disc can be switched inside the disc device.

Disk ejection device

A transmission gear is comprised of a fitting portion of an upper toothed wheel being fit with a fitting portion of a lower toothed wheel so that both are axially movable. Accordingly, even in the event that a lid plate which has a disk introducing mechanism and a clamping chassis which has a clamping mechanism ascend or descend, certain power can be transmitted to a large gear (first gear) and a rotating cam (second gear) in a sure manner. Thus, the disk introducing mechanism and the disk discharging mechanism can both be driven with a single simple power transmitting mechanism. Also, the disk introducing operation and the disk discharging operation can be performed in a parallel manner, thereby reducing the amount of time required to exchange disks.
