Abstract:
A redundant decoder having fuse-controlled transistor comprises as follows: a bistable circuit which outputs a pair of complementary signals; a discharging device which is turned on at an evaluating cycle to form a discharging path; a precharging device which is turned on at a precharging cycle before an evaluating cycle to provide a precharging voltage; a first pair of transistors, having first terminals coupled to the precharging voltage, first gate terminals coupled to receive pair of complementary signals whose logic values decide whether the first pair of transistors are turned on or not, and second terminals; a second pair of transistors, having third terminals coupled to the second terminals of the first pair of transistors, second gate terminals coupled to receive a pair of complementary address bit signals whose logic values decide whether the second pair of transistors are turned on or not, and fourth terminals coupled to the discharging device; and a fuse device, having a fuse which is coupled to the bistable device that decides the logic values of the pair of complementary signals by whether the fuse is burnt down or not.
Abstract:
A dynamic precharge redundant circuit for a semiconductor memory device. A PMOS transistor, a fuse, a first, second and third inverters, a first switch and a second switch are applied. A source of the PMOS transistor is coupled to a voltage supply, while a gate of the PMOS transistor is to receive a precharge signal. The fuse has a ground terminal and a terminal coupled to the drain of the PMOS transistor of which the drain is further coupled to an input terminal of the first inverter. The fuse is also coupled to a column address signal. The first inverter has an output terminal coupled to an input terminal of the first switch. The second inverter has an input terminal coupled to an output terminal of the first switch and an output terminal coupled to an input terminal of the third inverter, so as to output a bit-switch control signal. An input terminal of the second switch is coupled to an output terminal of the third inverter, while an output terminal of the second switch is coupled to both the output terminal of the first switch and the input terminal of the second inverter. Thus, an error caused by the generation of an interference signal of the bit-switch control signal is prevented, so as to prevent from damaging data of the bit line sense amplifier.
Abstract:
A submount is used for disposing an illuminant element or a light-receiving element having an optical axis. The submount is disposed at a plane and has a main body. The main body includes a first surface and a second surface. The first surface is approximately parallel to the plane and far away from the plane. The second surface is approximately parallel to the plane and adjacent to the plane. A disposing part of the first surface is tilted with respect to the second surface at a predetermined angle. The illuminant element or the light-receiving element is disposed on the disposing part. The optical axis of the illuminant element or the light-receiving element is tiled with respect to a normal of the second surface at the predetermined angle.
Abstract:
A Chinese herbal aqueous extract having anti-anxiety activities and a method of in vitro evaluating the same are disclosed. Neural cells and/or glial cells are cultured in a medium containing the Chinese herbal aqueous extract, and then subjected to an electric pulse treatment to form epileptic cells. The epileptic cells are applied on evaluation of at least one criterion of anti-anxiety activities of the Chinese herbal aqueous extract.
Abstract:

Abstract:
A process of an extrusion product made of matrix composite aluminum alloys has multiple steps. First, provide at least two different aluminum alloys. Select one of the aluminum alloys to be a core. Select the rest of the aluminum alloys to be at least one hollow covering and mounted around the core to form a billet. Heat the billet to become deformable. Then extrudes the billet to become the extrusion product with matrix composite aluminum alloys. Hence, the core and the covering can be securely bonded to each other.
