According to one embodiment, a one-time programmable (OTP) device having a lateral diffused metal-oxide-semiconductor (LDMOS) structure comprises a pass gate including a pass gate electrode and a pass gate dielectric, and a programming gate including a programming gate electrode and a programming gate dielectric. The programming gate is spaced from the pass gate by a drain extension region of the LDMOS structure. The LDMOS structure provides protection for the pass gate when a programming voltage for rupturing the programming gate dielectric is applied to the programming gate electrode. A method for producing such an OTP device comprises forming a drain extension region, fabricating a pass gate over a first portion of the drain extension region, and fabricating a programming gate over a second portion of the drain extension region.

A receiving apparatus includes a converting unit that multiplies first and second reception signal points for the respective first and second reception signals by a matrix and outputs resulting converted first and second reception signal points; a number-of-candidates determining unit that determines a number of candidates for at least first transmission-signal candidate points, based on a reception quality for the first and second reception signals; and an estimating unit that selects, based on the converted first and second reception signal points, the first transmission-signal candidate points and second transmission-signal candidate points, the number of first transmission-signal candidate points corresponding to the determined number of candidates, and that estimates, as the first and second transmission signals, the first and second transmission-signal candidate points with which distances between the selected first and second transmission-signal candidate points and the corresponding converted first and second reception signal points are smallest.

An apparatus is disclosed to increase a breakdown voltage of a semiconductor device. The semiconductor device includes an enhanced well region to effectively increase a voltage at which punch-through occurs when compared to a conventional semiconductor device. The enhanced well region includes a greater number of excess carriers when compared to a well region of the conventional semiconductor device. These larger number of excess carriers attract more carriers allowing more current to flow through a channel region of the semiconductor device before depleting the enhanced well region of the carriers. As a result, the semiconductor device may accommodate a greater voltage being applied to its drain region before the depletion region of the enhanced well region and a depletion region of a well region surrounding the drain region merge into a single depletion region.

A battery charging system for a vehicle, capable of charging a vehicle battery pack properly in a short time even during driving a vehicle-mounted electrical load. The battery charging system includes the battery pack mounted in the vehicle, the vehicle-mounted electrical load that can be driven by a current from the battery pack, and a battery charge controller that controls charging of the battery pack. When the battery pack is charged by using an external battery charger during operation of the load, the battery charge controller requires the external battery charger to supply a sum current that is a sum of a current for charging the battery pack and a current for driving the load to the vehicle.

A belt anchor comprises an anchor portion which changes the extending direction of a belt body toward a vehicle front, a bolt which supports the anchor portion, and a nut which fastens the bolt. The belt anchor is fixed to a lift gate inner and a second reinforcement at a position which is located near a pivotal axis of a hinge. Accordingly, a seatbelt device of a vehicle which can ensure both the properly-large slant angle of the belt body and the support strength of the belt anchor, keeping appropriate flexibility of the vehicle layout, can be provided.

In acquiring a snapshot, when data in a P-VOL is updated, it is determined whether the same data as target data to be stored in a certain second storage area specified by a certain second address of a D-VOL is already stored in a different second storage area specified by a different second address of the D-VOL, the target data being the differential data generated by the update. When the same data as the target data is stored, the target data is not newly stored in the D-VOL, and the different second address, specifying the different second storage area where the same data is stored, is registered in a snapshot management table (CoW table), in association with a certain first address specifying a certain first storage area where the data from which the target data has been generated is stored.
摘要:
A cubic metric calculator performs a calculation of a time average of power of the amplitude of a transmission signal when a cubic metric value is calculated as a product-sum operation between a transmission power-dependent term including an amplitude value depending on the transmission power of a transmission signal and a time average term including only a modulation parameter not depending on the transmission power of the transmission signal. When the transmission signal is transmitted, the operator inputs the amplitude value to calculate the transmission power-dependent term, reads the value of the time average term from coefficient memory, and performs the product-sum operation using an operation result of the transmission power-dependent term and the read value of the time average term, thereby calculating a time average of the power of the amplitude of the transmission signal.

Provided is a technique of ensuring mechanical strength in a terminal-provided wire and lowering contact resistance between the wire and the crimp terminal, without greatly varying a crimp height of a crimp terminal onto the wire in an axial direction. A crimp terminal according to the invention includes a conductor barrel which is crimped to a conductor of a wire. The conductor barrel has an inner surface which closely contacts the conductor by bending. The inner surface has such a shape a surface thereof which closely contacts a tip end side part of the conductor inwardly projects beyond a surface thereof which closely contacts a base side part of the conductor, thus performing a higher compression of the tip end side part of the conductor than that of the base side part thereof by the bending.
摘要:
A wireless system in which a pilot signal is transmitted in such a manner as to restrain error between the SIR of a data channel and that of the pilot signal, thereby improving wireless transmission quality. A specific pilot signal generator generates a specific pilot signal whose power and spreading ratio are identical with those of the data channel. A data channel generator receives propagation environment information and generates the data channel with a transmission format corresponding to the received propagation environment information. A wireless transmitter transmits the specific pilot signal and the data channel. On detecting the specific pilot signal, a propagation environment information notifier measures the SIR of the specific pilot signal, then generates propagation environment information corresponding to the measured SIR, and notifies the wireless transmitting unit of the generated information. A data channel receiver receives the data channel and processes the received data channel.
