    摘要: A sound element database is installed in an analog telephone hub. When hold operation or the like is performed on an analog telephone during voice communication, the analog telephone hub selectively reads out necessary sound element data from the sound element database, and sends the sound element data or the type information of the sound element data to an analog telephone on the held party side through a LAN. In an analog telephone hub on the held part side, an audible sound is generated on the basis of sound element data read out from the sound element database on the basis of the sent sound element data or the sound element data type information. This audible sound is supplied to the analog telephone on the held party side to be output. With this operation, an audible sound indicating the operation state of a communication terminal can be effectively transmitted to the communication terminal of the other party.

    摘要: A linear image sensor using phototransistors as light receiving elements has improved after-image characteristics and reduced production costs by providing a light-receiving MOS diode proximate each photosensor, placing the MOS diode in an inversion state during the accumulation of photo-charge so that the accumulated photo-charge is accumulated at a base region of the phototransistors, placing the MOS diode in an accumulating state during a reset operation to return the phototransistors to an initial state after a readout operation has been performed, so that residual charge without reading out is transferred to the base region of the phototransistors and an after-image caused by residual charge is reduced through an emitter of the phototransistors.

    摘要: A method of inspecting and a method of manufacturing image sensors formed on a surface of a semiconductor wafer. A semiconductor wafer is provided having image sensors formed on its surface. Grooves are cut at boundaries between image sensors to be inspected, so that each groove has a depth that is smaller than the thickness of the semiconductor wafer. The grooves are cut in the boundaries between the image sensors so that photoN sensing carriers generated in the boundary regions, that are not generated by the image sensor being inspected, do not affect the inspection of the image sensor. The characteristics of the image sensors are inspected before cutting through the semiconductor wafer to form individual image sensors. Thus, in accordance with the present invention, the electrical characteristics of the image sensors can be accurately ascertained either before or after separation from the semiconductor wafer.
