Abstract:
A noise reduction circuit outputs a signal corresponding to a voltage difference between two different signals. The noise reduction circuit includes: an amplifier circuit for amplifying the two different signals at different timings; and a voltage difference detection circuit for detecting a voltage difference between the two different signals amplified by the amplifier circuit. The noise reduction circuit accumulates, a predetermined number of times, an electric charge corresponding to the voltage difference detected by the voltage difference detection circuit and combines the accumulated electric charges to output a resultant electric charge.

Abstract:
A substrate transfer apparatus 24A of a component mounting equipment has linear motion guides 78A and 78B and substrate holding sliders 79A and 79B. The linear motion guides 78A and 78B extend in a transfer direction “C” from a first substrate taking-over position P1 to a second substrate taking-over position P2 and are opposed to each other with an interval G1 in a direction orthogonal to the transfer direction “C”. The substrate holding sliders 79A and 79B can move along the linear motion guides 78A and 78B, are opposed to each other with an interval G2 in the direction orthogonal to the transfer direction C, and releasably hold a lower surface of the substrate 12. The substrate holding sliders 79A and 79B move reciprocatingly in the transfer direction of the substrate 12 between the first and second substrate taking-over positions by an X-axis drive mechanism 87.
Abstract:
With the use of the MOS-type solid-state imaging device, it is possible, by extending the period during which the VDD voltage rises from Low level to High level, that the gate voltage of the resetting unit does not fluctuate to have a positive electric potential due to the coupling capacitance between the VDD power and the gate of the resetting unit, unlike the conventional case. Consequently, the electrons necessary for rendering the accumulation unit non-selectable do not flow from the accumulation unit to the VDD power. This prevents the level of the electric potential in the accumulation unit of non-selectable row from becoming positive. Also, the detecting unit is not switched on, which prevents the error of selecting a non-selectable row.

The column signal processing circuit 80 outputs either a voltage identical to the pixel output voltage or a fixed voltage, depending on the logic output voltage.
