摘要:
An image sensing device uses photodiodes arranged in a matrix. Each photodiode is connected to one of p serially-coupled input gate and transfer gate combinations, were p is an integer greater than or equal to 2. Channel terminals of the p transfer gates are commonly-coupled to a serially-coupled storage gate and output switch combination. The serially-coupled storage gate and output switch combination and its associated p input gate and transfer gate combinations can be repeatedly provided in rows and columns, and addressed so that pixels determined by the photodiodes can be serially output from the image sensing device. Among other advantages, by using serially-coupled input gate and transfer gate combinations, the area provided for a storage gate can be increased so that the sensitivity, dynamic range and/or signal-to-noise ratio is increased relative to conventional devices.

A charge injection circuit for injecting a charge to a signal processing circuit has a photo-voltaic element for generating a photocurrent when an infrared light is received, a field effect transistor used for injecting the charge to the signal processing circuit, and an impedance conversion circuit for feeding back an output of the field effect transistor to a substrate potential of the photo-voltaic element. The impedance conversion circuit has a gain which is greater than zero and less than or equal to one.

Tableting or granulating is conducted using prolamine, wheat gluten and a functional material or materials as raw materials. The functional masticatory product has elasticity and extensibility through inclusion of saliva during mastication, has edibility and has mastication time longer than that of gummi candy. Thus, varied mastication time longer than that of gummi candy can be provided and the functional material or materials can be sufficiently ingested without depending on natures of the same such as water solubility.

A control equipment management system integrates and displays data transmitted from a plurality of control equipment units provided at devices to be monitored and controlled, can flexibly modify the form of display, and can employ existing equipment as control equipment. Control equipment units 30a to 30n monitor the status of, and control the operation of, devices to be monitored and controlled. Remote computer 10 collects data output from control equipment units 30a to 30n via network N, and outputs control signals to the control equipment units 30a to 30n. Display command server 20 connected to network N stores or generates display commands determining the form of display of data output from each of control equipment units 30a to 30n. Remote computer 10 displays data collected from each of Control equipment units 30a to 30n according to the display form of display commands obtained from the display command server 20.

A hydrogen storage alloy of TiaMnbVcZrd (one of two kinds or more of Fe, Co, Cu, Zn, Ca, Al, Mo and Ni)x (herein, a is 10 to 40 atomic %, b is 40 to 60 atomic %, c is 5 to 30 atomic %, d is 15 atomic % or less, and x is 0 to 10 atomic %) is obtained by the rapid solidification (solidification at the cooling rate of desirably 103° C./sec or higher).
摘要:
A ring gear support member is supported radially immovably on the outer circumference of an input shaft through a ball bearing. A brake hub of a reverse brake, as supported by the ring gear support member, is made movable in the circumferential direction relative to the ring gear support member and is urged to a center position by a coil spring. When the reverse brake is applied to couple the ring gear support member unrotatably to a casing, the brake hub is supported through the coil spring by the ring gear support member. As a result, the meshing vibration, as generated at the meshing portion between pinions and a ring gear, can be prevented from being transmitted to the casing through the brake hub, thereby reducing noise.

A controller (2a) sets a target setting temperature for an air-conditioning space 10, compares a value obtained by subtracting an outdoor temperature detected by an outdoor temperature sensor 9 from the target setting temperature, with a first threshold related to the value, compares a value obtained by subtracting the outdoor temperature from an indoor temperature detected by an indoor temperature sensor 8, with a second threshold related to the value, compares a value obtained by subtracting a heat load in the air-conditioning space 10 from a cooling capacity, with a third threshold related to the value, and controls operation of a heat pump type air-conditioning device 2 and a ventilating device 3 on the basis of these comparison results. The first threshold, the second threshold, and the third threshold are set in accordance with the number of people detected by a human detection sensor 5.
