摘要:
In a semiconductor substrate of a first conductivity type, first to third drain offset regions of a second conductivity type are formed in that order in a bottom up manner. A body region of the first conductivity type is formed partly in the second drain offset region and partly in the third drain offset region. The second drain offset region has a lower impurity concentration than the first and third drain offset regions. A curvature portion of the body region is located in the second drain offset region.

A process for filling N2 gas into a tire assembled onto a rim to hold a recommended internal pressure comprises discharging air inside the tire prior to the filling of N2 gas to render the inside of the tire into a state lower than atmospheric pressure and filling N2 gas into such a tire. An apparatus for carrying out the above process comprises a single inlet path, at least two outlet paths and a membrane module for separating air introduced through the inlet path into O2 gas and N2 gas and feeding these gases into respective outlet paths, wherein an outlet path for feeding N2 gas in the outlet paths is connected at its top to a valve for inflating a tire assembled onto a rim under an internal pressure and a discharge path for discharging air inside the tire prior to the filling of N2 gas is provided on the way of such an outlet path.

A tire air-pressure abnormality alarming device for informing decrease in air-pressure of tires attached to a four-wheeled vehicle, characterized in that the device prohibits start of initializing operations for updating stored values for physical amounts related to tires or wheels in the case where air-pressures of the tires are judged to be normal, if air-pressure abnormality of a tire is being alarmed. Initialization is accepted only after the internal pressure has become normal, whereby erroneous initialization with any tire being in a decompressed condition can be prevented. Thus, normal operations for detecting decompression of a tire can be maintained.
