摘要:
An electronic power unit includes first and second MOS transistors and a digital control circuit. The first MOS transistor applies a voltage to the load. The second MOS transistor remains on while the first MOS transistor remains off and rectifies the current flowing in the load. The digital control circuit turns on the first transistor upon lapse of a first time interval from the time the second MOS transistor is turned off. The digital control circuit turns on the second MOS transistor upon lapse of a second time interval from the time the first MOS transistor is turned off. The digital control circuit controls the on-period of the first MOS transistor so that the voltage applied to the load is constant in a discontinuous conduction mode. The digital control circuit determines, while the voltage applied to the load is constant, an optimal value of the first time from the duty.

The differential amplifier of a comparator circuit includes first and second n-type MOSFETs for receiving an input signal, first and second p-type MOSFETs of a current mirror circuit, and a third n-type MOSFET of a current source circuit. The output stage includes a third p-type MOSFET for transmitting a signal, and a fourth n-type MOSFET of the current source circuit. The differential amplifier further includes fifth and sixth n-type MOSFETs respectively series-connected to the first and second n-type MOSFETs. The output stage further includes a seventh n-type MOSFET series-connected to the fourth n-type MOSFET. The gates of the fifth, sixth, and seventh n-type MOSFETs are connected to voltage bias circuits. The fifth, sixth, and seventh n-type MOSFETs suppress variations in voltage at an output node caused by poor saturation characteristics of the first, second, and fourth main n-type MOSFETs.

A first retainer is secured to a first part of the cable and fitted with the through hole. A second retainer is attached on the casing body while holding a second part of the cable. The first retainer is an elastic member having a groove fitted with an edge of the through hole. The second retainer includes a retaining member provided on the casing body while being formed with a guide groove, and a holding member detachably fitted into the guide groove.

In an IGBT, an n buffer layer is formed under an n− high resistance layer in which a MOS gate structure is formed. An n+ buffer layer is formed between the n buffer layer and a p+ drain layer. Since the p+ drain layer is doped at a low dose, the efficiency of carrier injection can be reduced and a high-speed operation is possible without lifetime control. Since no lifetime control is performed, the on-state voltage can be low. Since the n buffer layer does not immediately stop the extension of the depletion layer during a turn-off period, oscillation of the current and voltage is prevented. The n+ buffer layer maintains a sufficient withstand voltage when a reverse bias is applied.

An insulated-gate semiconductor device comprises a P type emitter layer, an N.sup.- high-resistive base layer formed on the P type emitter layer, and a P type base layer contacting the N.sup.- high-resistive base layer. A plurality of trenches are formed having a depth to reach into the N.sup.- high-resistive base layer from the P type base layer. A gate electrode covered with a gate insulation film is buried in each trench. An N type source layer to be connected to a cathode electrode is formed in the surface of the P type base layer in a channel region between some trenches, thereby forming an N channel MOS transistor for turn-on operation. A P channel MOS transistor connected to the P base layer is formed in a channel region between other trenches so as to discharge the holes outside the device upon turn-off operation.

The present invention is intended to provide a teaching playback swing-phase-controlled above knee prosthesis which enables an external data setting to set the mechanism of the teaching playback swing-phase-controlled above knee prosthesis for conditions that enable the mechanism to operate for motions according to a walking speed. The teaching playback swing-phase-controlled above knee prosthesis includes a structural body having a thigh frame and a leg frame pivotally joined to the thigh frame for swing motion relative to the thigh frame, an air cylinder having a cylinder body, a piston axially slidably fitted in the cylinder body and provided with a valve, and a piston rod having one end fixed to the piston and the other end pivotally joined to the thigh frame, and a stepping motor for adjusting the opening of the valve of the cylinder. The opening of the valve of the cylinder is adjusted by the stepping motor to regulate sliding speed of the piston by adjusting the resistance against the flow of air through the valve so that the leg frame is able to swing relative to the thigh frame properly according to a predetermined walking speed. Data concerning the opening of the valve is taught to the teaching playback swing-phase-controlled above knee prosthesis by signals sent out by an external data setting device.
