Crosstalk between the adjacent pixels can be prevented by a structure in which an overflow barrier is provided at the deep potion of a substrate. A partial P type region 150 is provided at the predetermined position of a lower layer region of the vertical transfer register 124 and a channel stop region 126. This P type region 150 is used to adjust potential in the lower layer region of the vertical transfer register 124 and the channel stop region 126 so that the potential may become smaller than that of the lower layer region of the photosensor 122 in a range from the minimum potential position of the vertical transfer register 124 to the overflow barrier 128. Accordingly, since the potential in the lower layer region of the vertical transfer register 124 and the channel stop region 126 at both sides of the lower layer region is low, electric charges photoelectrically-converted by the sensor region are blocked by this potential barrier and cannot be diffused easily. Thus, crosstalk between the adjacent pixels can be prevented.

A solid-state image pickup device includes, in a substrate, a plurality of photoelectric conversion regions for subjecting incoming light to photoelectric conversion, a reading gate for reading a signal charge from the photoelectric conversion regions, and a transfer register (vertical register) for transferring the signal charge read by the reading gate. Therein, a groove is formed on the surface side of the substrate, and the transfer register and the reading gate are formed at the bottom part of the groove. With such a structure, in the solid-state image pickup device, reduction can be achieved for the smear characteristics, a reading voltage, noise, and others.

In the case that at the time of generation of a pre-fetch request following a read request from one of the processors the data stored in other cache devices cannot be read unless its state tag is changed, a cache controller carries out weak read operation for causing failure in the pre-fetch request as a fetch protocol. Alternatively, the cache controller reads pre-fetch data without changing state tags of other cache devices, sets a weak read state (W), and stores the data. The data in the weak read state (W) is invalided by synchronization operation of memory consistency by software. Furthermore, the pre-fetch data is stored in a passive preservation mode in the present cache device. Even if the pre-fetch data corresponds to a read request from some other cache device, the preservation of the data is not informed to the other cache device.

A band refeeding method in a banding packing machine is disclosed which can prevent the tip portion of a band from being excessively pulled back even if the band is not supplied correctly but is automatically pulled back, and can stay the band in a predetermined position and can successively supply the band to the band guide arch side. A length of a band to be pulled back to an original position by band pull back means is previously detected based on the number of rotations of a touch roller constituting band supply means. In addition, the number of rotations of the touch roller before reaching a predetected set value is detected when the tip portion of the band is pulled back. Then, a rotating speed of a roller of the band pull back means is reduced when the number of rotations is detected. Therefore, the roller of the band pull back means is subsequently rotated at the low speed, thereby pulling back the tip of the band to a predetermined position.

A pickup drive apparatus for recording or reproducing with respect to a recording medium such as a CD and a DVD. In the apparatus, return light produced by irradiating an optical spot is detected by a photodetector, and a push-pull signal is produced from this detection output. A tracking error signal is produced from the push-pull signal by a low-pass filter and a phase compensating circuit. A quasi-ON/OFF control signal having information of an irradiation position of the optical spot is produced from the push-pull signal by a high-pass filter, a comparator, and a single pulse generator. When the quasi-ON/OFF control signal is produced which indicates that the optical spot is positioned on a groove, the tracking error signal is outputted via switching circuits in synchronism with this signal production. A pickup is servo-controlled based on this output signal.
