摘要:
In a sheet conveyance system in which a plurality of apparatuses each including a communication unit with a plurality of communication channels are connected, and a sheet is conveyed between the apparatuses, each of the plurality of communication channels can be switched between a transmission mode and a reception mode. When a plurality of transmission channels are set by channel assignment, communication can be executed by giving a priority to each transmission destination. If transmission data are accumulated in an apparatus, and they include data for a transmission destination with a higher priority over the current data transmission destination, the number of transmission channels is increased, and the priority is raised.

A nonvolatile semiconductor memory device includes: a gate dielectric made of a multilayer dielectric that is formed on a substrate and discretely accumulates charges; a gate electrode formed on the gate dielectric; a pair of diffusion regions formed in the surface of the substrate with the gate electrode interposed therebetween and serving as a source and a drain; and a channel region existing between the diffusion regions. At least one of regions of the gate dielectric located between the pair of diffusion regions and lateral end parts of the gate electrode opposed to the diffusion regions includes a fixed charge accumulation region in which charges produced by irradiating the gate electrode with ultraviolet light can be accumulated, and at least one said diffusion region located below the fixed charge accumulation region is formed to overlap with the fixed charge accumulation region in plan configuration and extend beyond the fixed charge accumulation region toward the middle of the channel region in plan configuration.

A nonvolatile semiconductor memory device includes nonvolatile semiconductor memory elements and a first conductor. Each nonvolatile semiconductor memory element includes a gate insulating film including a charge trapping layer formed on a substrate, a gate electrode formed on the gate insulating film, and a pair of diffusion layers formed in a surface layer of the substrate with the gate electrode interposed therebetween and functioning as a source or a drain. The first conductor electrically connects a pair of diffusion layers of each nonvolatile semiconductor memory element to each other. Ends of each gate electrode which respectively face a pair of diffusion layers of a corresponding nonvolatile semiconductor memory element are partially covered by the first conductor when viewed two-dimensionally.

An image forming apparatus capable of grouping a plurality of sheet storage units for feeding sheets of a same type in an image forming operation. The image forming apparatus includes a plurality of storage units for storing sheets and a sheet feeder operable to feed the sheets from the plurality of storage units. The apparatus also includes a grouping unit allowing a user to group the storage units based on the type of sheets. A controller controls the sheet feeder to feed sheets from the group of storage units such that when one storage unit becomes empty, the controller controls the sheet feeder to feed sheets from another storage unit of the group of storage units.

A memory transistor and a select transistor are disposed side by side on a semiconductor substrate between source/drain diffusion layers thereof, with an intermediate diffusion layer interposed therebetween. The memory transistor includes: a gate insulating film having such a thickness as to allow tunneling current to pass therethrough; a floating gate electrode; an interelectrode insulating film; and a control gate electrode. The select transistor includes a gate insulating film and a select gate electrode. Tunneling current, allowing electrons to pass through the gate insulating film under the floating gate electrode, is utilized during the removal and injection of electrons from/into the floating gate electrode. As a result, higher reliability can be attained and rewriting can be performed at a lower voltage. Also, since the select transistor is provided, reading can also be performed at a lower voltage. Improvement of reliability and rewrite and read operations at respective lower voltages are realized for a nonvolatile semiconductor memory device, in which a memory cell includes a floating gate electrode and a control gate electrode.

When a control gate electrode 7 is processed using a control gate electrode processing mask 8, the control gate electrode 7 in a region where the floating gate electrode 4 has been removed is partially left. Because of the presence of the left control gate electrode 7, the gate electrode interlayer insulating film 6 and gate insulating film 3 below the control gate electrode 7 are not dug in the region where the floating gate electrode 4 has been removed. Therefore, when the floating gate electrode 4 is removed, the semiconductor substrate is not dug. In this way, since the semiconductor substrate 1 is not dug, the semiconductor memory device can be manufactured stably and precisely.

A film loader of the present invention is located in a camera body, and made up of a Patrone housing into which a Patrone is inserted along a direction of a film spool, and a leader housing that is formed as part of the Patrone housing and stores a film leader coming out of a Patrone. Herein, the Patrone housing and the leader housing can move freely between a storage position at which the Patrone housing and leader housing are stored in the camera body, and a projecting position at which the Patrone housing projects from a side face of the camera body and the leader housing projects from the rear face of the camera body.

The present image forming apparatus includes a first control unit and a second control unit driven by built-in clock oscillators to realize the distributed control. The first control unit generates, using a first timer driven by the built-in clock oscillator of the first control unit, a pulse signal corresponding to a predetermined clock rate and outputs the pulse signal to the second control unit. The second control unit measures, using a second timer driven by the built-in clock oscillator of the second control unit, a pulse width of the pulse signal outputted from the first control unit, and calculates a correction coefficient using reference pulse width corresponding to the predetermined clock rate and the measured pulse width. The processing unit processes using the calculated correction coefficient.

An image forming apparatus, to which an accessory device is connectable, includes a control unit configured to control the image forming apparatus to start a preparation operation in which an image forming unit can form an image in response to a power supply, and a storage unit configured to store a connecting state between the image forming apparatus and the accessory device. The control unit determines, in response to the start of the power supply, whether the accessory device has been connected to the image forming apparatus before the power supply is stopped, with reference to information stored in the storage unit. Then, the control unit controls the image forming apparatus to start the preparation operation without waiting for the receiving of the information about the accessory device therefrom if the accessory device has not been connected to the image forming apparatus.
