The semiconductor device including a reference potential generator, first and second filter, and first and second input circuit. The reference potential generator generates a reference potential in accordance with a first power supply. The first filter is connected to the first power supply and filters the reference potential to generate a first filtered reference potential. The second filter is connected to a second power supply and filters the reference potential to generate a second filtered reference potential. The first input circuit is connected to the first power supply and receives the first filtered reference potential to generate a first predetermined voltage. The second input circuit is connected to the second power supply and receives the second filtered reference potential to generate a second predetermined voltage.
Abstract:
In order to present a basic cell of a master slice type LSI having a high memory density and a high speed logic circuitry, a basic cell is composed of each pair of the PMOS 1, NMOS 4, PMOS 7, and NMOS 10, and three contact holes--besides the contact holes 17, as the contact holes within the MOS channel width W of each MOS, that are connected to the GND power lines 51 and 53, or the Vcc power lines 50 and 52--are formed in the direction perpendicular to each of the power lines. Additionally, in order to present a semiconductor integrated device having a static type RAM that has realized with its simple structure a shortening of the memory cycle, a RAM is constructed by having memory cells, in which each is composed of a pair of transfer MOSFETs, which both of the MOSFETs are turned on during the write-in operation and one of the MOSFETs is turned on during the read-out operation, is located in between a complementary data line and an input/output node that has a complementary relationship with an information storage part comprised by a pair of inverter circuits in which the inputs and outputs are mutually cross-connected. By constructing in this way, it becomes possible to speed up the write-in operation with accuracy by having a complementary write-in signal received from a pair of the complementary lines during the read-out operation, and it becomes possible to obtain read-out signals rapidly and to prevent write-in errors caused by the pre-read-out potential of the data line because the information storage part is connected only to one of the data lines through one of the transfer gates during the read-out operation.
Abstract:
In a one-chip microcomputer, an EPROM is formed together with a ROM and RAM on one semiconductor substrate. Data such as fixed data necessary in the microcomputer can be changed by the use of the EPROM. In case data are to be written in the EPROM, an EPROM writer is used. This EPROM writer outputs write data to the EPROM and checks (or verifies) the data written in the EPROM immediately thereafter. If any error is detected, the subsequent data write is interrupted. In order to inhibit the unnecessary operation interruption in case the address designated by the EPROM writer comes out of the range of the EPROM, the checking (or verifying) data signal to be fed from the one-chip microcomputer to the EPROM writer is forcibly set at a level which indicates satisfactory operation of the EPROM.
Abstract:
A mask-programmed ROM includes depletion type load MOSFETs provided between data lines in a memory array and a power supply voltage, the MOSFETs having a ground potential of the circuit applied to their gates. Reading of data is carried out by an amplifying MOSFET which supplies a current to a selected data line through a depletion type MOSFET which is supplied at its gate with the circuit ground potential. Thus, bias voltages which are respectively applied to the data lines and a sense amplifier which receives a signal read out from a selected data line are made equal to each other, thereby achieving a high-speed read operation.

Abstract:
An intervertebral implant for fusing vertebrae is disclosed. The implant may have a body with curved, posterior and anterior faces separated by two narrow implant ends, superior and inferior faces having a plurality of undulating surfaces for contacting vertebral endplates, and at least one depression in the anterior or posterior face for engagement by an insertion tool. The implant may also have one or more vertical through-channels extending through the implant from the superior face to the inferior face, a chamfer on the superior and inferior surfaces at one of the narrow implant ends, and/or a beveled edge along a perimeter of the superior and inferior faces. The implant configuration facilitates transforaminal insertion of the implant into a symmetric position about the midline of the spine so that a single implant provides balanced support to the spinal column. The implant may be formed of a plurality of interconnecting bodies assembled to form a single unit. An implantation kit and method are also disclosed.
Abstract:
An electronic thermometer includes a temperature sensing means for sensing a temperature of a part to be measured, and a prediction means for calculating an equilibrium temperature according to the temperature being sensed. The prediction means includes a parameter determination unit for calculating parameters of a prediction function having three parameters to obtain an equilibrium predicted temperature, and an equilibrium predicted temperature calculation means for calculating an equilibrium temperature during a period of the thermal equilibrium time, based on the parameters determined by the parameter determination unit. The parameter determination unit determines parameters held by the prediction function, based on three (or two) sensed temperatures and the measuring times thereof. According to the prediction function, the equilibrium temperature can be predicted with a small number of samplings, and the parameters are determined based on the sensed temperature and the measuring time of the sensed temperature. Consequently, the number of samplings to predict the equilibrium temperature is reduced, as well as solving a problem that the equilibrium temperature may be varied due to an external factor, individual difference, and the like.
