摘要:
An apparatus for estimating rotor position for brushless motors capable of accurately estimating rotor position is provided. The apparatus may be used as a start-up system for brushless motors. The apparatus performs accurate estimation even though power source voltage fluctuates, and is able to provide compact configuration. The apparatus supplies voltage to the coils respectively. In each supplying period, the apparatus counts voltage supply period of time until current value reaches to a current threshold value. Since a coil indicative of rotor stop position is prone to be magnetically saturated. The apparatus estimates the rotor stop position based on the voltage supply periods. Then, the apparatus starts a switching sequence based on the rotor stop position.

In a digital TV broadcast signal receiver connected to a multi-directional antenna called smart antenna, when a TV broadcast signal of an optional channel becomes unreceivable for any reason, it makes possible to restart displaying an image on a screen of a monitor display device, quickly. The digital TV broadcast signal receiver previously sets a plurality of optimum signal receiving direction with respect to each receivable channel with an order of priority, and switches an effective signal receiving direction of a multi-directional antenna connected thereto to one of the optimum signal receiving directions of a channel chosen by a user corresponding to the order of priority, when the TV broadcast signal of the channel is unreceivable.

An engine control method and related engine control method are disclosed for an engine with an auxiliary device of a vehicle wherein auxiliary device control means controls a drive torque of the auxiliary device, engine control means executes an engine torque control to vary the output torque of the engine, and failure detecting means detects a failure giving an adversely affect to engine torque control executed with the engine control means. The auxiliary device control means alters a drive control mode of the auxiliary device in response to the failure detected with the failure detecting means. In preferred embodiment, the auxiliary device is driven in a collaborative control mode in the presence of an extremely mild failure, a fixed voltage control mode in the presence of a mild failure and a gradual change control mode in the presence of a fatal failure.

摘要:
A security camera system having one or more monitoring cameras, each of which transmits a digital video signal after compressing/encoding, are connected to a controller via a network. In the controller, a media control section stores the video signal supplied from the monitoring cameras in a storage medium and reads out the video signal as needed. Image processing for privacy protection is carried out to the real-time video signal supplied from the monitoring camera and the video signal read out from the storage medium. The level of the image processing for privacy protection is switched depending on the authority of a user who views the video image. Further, even for the same user authority, the image processing level for privacy protection is switched and adjusted depending on the size of the object in the video image.
摘要:
In order to provide a light oxidation process technique for use in a CMOS LSI employing a polymetal gate structure and a dual gate structure, so that both oxidation of a refractory metal film constituting a part of a gate electrode and diffusion of boron contained in a p-type polycrystalline silicon film constituting a part of the gate electrode can be prevented, a mixed gas containing a hydrogen gas and steam synthesized from an oxygen gas and a hydrogen gas is supplied to a major surface of a semiconductor wafer A1, and a heat treatment for improving a profile of a gate insulating film that has been cut by etching under an edge part of the gate electrode is conducted under a low thermal load condition in that the refractor metal film is substantially not oxidized, and boron contained in a p-type polycrystalline silicon film constituting a part of the gate electrode is not diffused to the semiconductor substrate through the gate oxide film.
摘要:
A manufacturing process for a semiconductor integrated circuit device prevents occurrence of reaction between metal wiring and a boron-doped silicon plug over it in heat treatment for a MOS transistor to be formed over them and reduces the possibility of rise in contact resistance. Metal boride is formed on an exposed metal surface in the bottom of an opening made in an interlayer insulating film over the metal wiring. In order to facilitate formation of such metal boride, metal oxide remaining on the metal surface is removed with an aqueous ammonia solution. The metal surface is irradiated with high energy ultraviolet light in order to remove organic matter remaining in the opening and facilitate removal of the metal oxide with the aqueous ammonia solution.

The present invention provides a technology capable of achieving a highly-sensitive flow sensor, by forming a metal film having a relatively high TCR on a semiconductor substrate via an insulating film. A measurement device which is a thermal fluid flow sensor includes a heat element, resistance temperature detectors (upstream-side resistance temperature detector and downstream-side resistance temperature detector), and a resistance temperature detector for air which are all formed of a first metal film. The first metal film is formed of an α-Ta film having a resistivity lower than three times the resistivity of a Ta ingot and obtained by deposition through sputtering on an amorphous film containing metal.

The present invention provides an immunodeficient mouse (NOG mouse) suitable for engraftment, differentiation and proliferation of heterologous cells, and a method of producing such a mouse. This mouse is obtained by backcrossing a C.B-17-scid mouse with an NOD/Shi mouse, and further backcrossing an interleukin 2-receptor γ-chain gene-knockout mouse with the thus backcrossed mouse. It is usable for producing a human antibody and establishing a stem cell assay system, a tumor model and a virus-infection model.
