A touch sensitive switch arrangement with an I.sup.2 L (Integrated Injection Logic) structure includes a battery power source, a current limiter, an injector, a first-stage and second-stage switching transistors being both supplied with current from the injector, a first touch electrode connected to the positive polarity of the battery power source and a second touch electrode connected to the base of the first-stage switching transistor with electrical isolation from the first touch electrode.

A resistor is connected to the source of a C-MOS inverter included within a crystal oscillator circuit in order to reduce the power dissipation in the crystal oscillator circuit. A switching transistor is connected in parallel to said resistor, said switching transistor being responsive to an LED display switch for enabling LED display or an illumination lamp switch for illuminating a liquid crystal display. The switching transistor shunts the resistor in response to actuation of the LED display switch or the illumination lamp.

Low voltage compensator for power supply in a complementary MOS

An information reader for optically reading information recorded in the form of an array of aligned embossments on a card, comprising a slit plate positioned over a card transport table having two slits, one for directing incident light toward the embossed card and the other for leading to a light-sensitive element series light which has passed past the first named slit and then reflected from a planar surface or raised surface of the embossed card. While the information containing card causes reciprocating motion on the card transport table at a fixed rate, light passed past the last named slit is detected in a storage mode by sequentially scanning the multiple light-sensitive elements so that pattern recognition for the recorded information is carried out by measuring the detection light.
