Abstract:
In a reading operation, an off time and a reading time of a holding control transistor is controlled by a replica circuit, so that a read margin is enlarged. Furthermore, a high power source potential and a low power source potential of an SRAM memory cell are switched in reading and writing operations of the memory cell and in a data holding state by a power source potential switching portion. As a result, a write margin is enlarged, and a leakage current is reduced.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition which can permit a sparingly water-soluble drug substance to be solubilized or dispersed in a pharmaceutically allowable liquid medium (e.g., fat emulsion, etc.), characterized in that said pharmaceutical composition contains (a) a base (e.g., polyethylene glycol, etc.), (b) a sparingly water-soluble drug substance and (c) a fatty acid or its pharmaceutically allowable salt. The pharmaceutical composition can be mixed with a pharmaceutically allowable liquid medium to produce a pharmaceutical preparation for administration, such as an injectable solution, etc., wherein mixing can be performed for a shortened period of time and the sparingly water-soluble drug substance can be uniformly solubilized or dispersed in a liquid medium.
Abstract:
When an SRAM cell formed by six transistors is made finer and operated at a lower voltage, it does not operate stably. Because many transistors and control signals are required for stable operation, there is a problem that its component area is increased. An SRAM cell is formed by five transistors. The SRAM cell is formed by an inverter circuit (P1, N1) using a storage node V2 as an input and a storage node V1 as an output, a load transistor P2 connected between a power source VDD and the storage node V2 with using the storage node V1 as an input and the storage node V2 as an output, an access transistor N3 connected between a read bit line RBL and the storage node V1, and an access transistor N4 connected between a write bit line WBL and the storage node V2. When the access transistor N4 is controlled by a write word line WWL, the access transistor N4 can be used as holding control means and writing means for the memory cell, making it possible to obtain a semiconductor device capable of operating at a high speed with a small number of elements.
Abstract:
The present invention implements an asynchronous transition signaling circuit which can be applied to a bus arbitrator or the like. The OR gate holds a token (feedback signal S) as long as the device enabling signal Grant is output, even after the request event ReqIn is canceled, and as a result, the Muller C element with an inverter cancels the output of the response event AckOut. When the device request signal Req is not output, the feedback signal S passes through the AND gate, and the request event ReqOut is output from the AND gate. At the same time, the device enabling signal Grant is no longer output, and the loop comprised of the Muller C element with an inverter, the OR gate and the AND gate is canceled. As a result, the token (feedback signal S) is transferred to the next transition signaling circuit.
Abstract:
A matrix array of memory cells are located on intersections of word lines and sense lines. Each memory cell includes a magnetoresistance element and a switching element which establishes a resistive connection between a corresponding sense line and the magnetoresistance element when a corresponding word line is addressed. A number of sense circuits are respectively correspond to the sense lines. Each sense circuit includes a capacitive element connected to the corresponding sense line and a switching element for applying a voltage to the capacitive element and removing the voltage when the corresponding sense line is addressed, thereby discharging energy from the capacitive element through the resistive connection to the magnetoresistance element. The voltage developed across the capacitive element of each sense circuit is used to produce a binary output signal representative of information stored in an address memory cell.

Abstract:
A numerically controlled machine tool is provided which comprises an operation control unit with an operating panel having key switches disposed thereon whereby data on the finish shape and finish dimensions of a workpiece and the machining conditions including spindle rpm and feed rate can be transferred into a control unit. On the basis of this input, the control unit automatically prepares a processing program which decides on the amounts and directions of movement of the tool rest longitudinally and transversely from a reference point which is inherent in the machine and controls the movement in accordance therewith so as to automatically machine the workpiece to the predetermined shape and dimensions. A desired final processing shape may be designated by using function keys on the operating panel bearing words in everyday or conversational language, whereupon the control unit automatically decides what is the data necessary for the particular machining that should be put in and then it turns on guide lamps corresponding to the decided data successively in the order in which the data should be put in, so as to guide the operator. Thus, it is only necessary for the operator to put in specific numerical values by means of ten-keys under the guidance.
