Abstract:
In an image reading apparatus, it is judged whether an original sheet is a first sheet type, whose sheet length is longer than or equal to a first conveyance distance and shorter than a second conveyance distance, and a second sheet type, whose sheet length is longer than or equal to the second conveyance path, the first conveyance distance being a distance between a first conveyance roller and a second conveyance roller, the second conveyance distance being a distance between a supply roller and the second conveyance roller. At least one of a leading-edge arriving timing; a trailing-edge arriving timing; and a sub-scanning magnification is set dependently on the judged result. An image is read from the original sheet by using an image reading unit and a conveyance unit based on the set at least one of the leading-edge arriving timing; trailing-edge arriving timing; and sub-scanning magnification.
Abstract:
According to one embodiment, a semiconductor memory device includes a memory cell array, a bit line, a source line, and a sense circuit. The memory cell array includes memory strings which include memory cells connected in series and stacked above a semiconductor substrate. The bit line is coupled to one of the memory strings and is capable of transferring data. The source line is coupled to one of the memory strings. When data is read, a read current flows from a bit line into the source line. The sense circuit is coupled to the bit line and senses read data. An operation timing of the sense circuit is determined on the basis of a current flowing through the source line.
Abstract:
A power supply circuit drives circuits having different numbers of series-connected LEDs without changing a circuit constant or a component. An LED series circuit is connected to a power converter circuit of a power supply circuit. The power converter circuit is controlled by a control arithmetic circuit, and supplies a constant current to the LED series circuit. A voltage detection circuit detects a voltage applied to the LED series circuit. The control arithmetic circuit checks whether the LED series circuit has 40 LEDs or 20 LEDs, based on the voltage detected by the voltage detection circuit. The control arithmetic circuit holds a constant-current value table for 40 LEDs and a constant-current value table for 20 LEDs. In accordance with the detected voltage, the control arithmetic circuit selects one constant-current value table, and controls the power converter circuit based on the constant-current value table selected.
Abstract:
A resistance-change memory includes first and second bit lines running in the same direction, a third bit line running parallel to the first and second bit lines, fourth and fifth bit lines running in the same direction, a sixth bit line running parallel to the fourth and fifth bit lines, a first memory element which has one and the other terminals connected to the first and third bit lines, and changes to one of first and second resistance states, a first reference element having one and the other terminals connected to the fourth and sixth bit lines, and set in the first resistance state, a second reference element having one and the other terminals connected to the fifth and sixth bit lines, and set in the second resistance state, and a sense amplifier having first and second input terminals connected to the first and fourth bit lines.
Abstract:
This invention provides a coin depositing and dispensing machine capable of clearly specifying whether each coin dispensed into the same coin dispensing port is a coin to be paid or rejected coin, and preventing the coins from being mistakenly mishandled. Light emitting unit capable of emitting light of different colors is disposed in the vicinity of the coin dispensing port. The light emitting unit emits a green light if the coin dispensed into the coin dispensing port is a coin to be paid, and emits a red light if the dispensed coin is a rejected coin. The light emitting unit irradiates light to the whole coin dispensing port and the coins themselves in the coin dispensing port. When the coins are taken out from the coin dispensing port, it can be recognized whether the coin is a coin to be paid or rejected coin.
