Abstract:
One object of the present invention is to provide a regulator circuit with an improved noise margin. In a regulator circuit including a bias circuit generating a reference voltage on the basis of the potential difference between a first power supply terminal and a second power supply terminal, and a voltage regulator outputting a potential to an output terminal on the basis of a reference potential input from the bias circuit, a bypass capacitor is provided between a power supply terminal and a node to which a gate of a transistor included in the bias circuit is connected.
Abstract:
An object is to provide a semiconductor device with a novel structure in which stored data can be held even when power is not supplied, and the number of times of writing is not limited. The semiconductor device is formed using a wide gap semiconductor and includes a potential change circuit which selectively applies a potential either equal to or different from a potential of a bit line to a source line. Thus, power consumption of the semiconductor device can be sufficiently reduced.

The silicon carbide powder is formed by heating a mixture of a silicon small piece and a carbon powder and thereafter pulverizing the mixture, and is substantially composed of silicon carbide.
Abstract:
In a reception management apparatus, when a print button is operated after scheduled visitor information is selected, a badge ID representing print number is assigned to the selected scheduled visitor information and thereby print data of an entry pass associated with the scheduled visitor information is created and output to a printer. At the same time, the badge ID is assigned to and displayed in the scheduled visitor information in the appointment list display window. Further, when a shared button is operated after the scheduled visitor information is selected, the badge ID representing print number is assigned to the selected scheduled visitor information and thereby print data of the entry pass associated with the scheduled visitor information is created and output to the printer. At the same time, the personal information corresponding to the scheduled visitor information is stored in the entry-permitted list as entry-permitted visitor information.

A silicon carbide substrate, which achieves restrained warpage even when a different-type material layer made of a material other than silicon carbide, includes: a base layer made of silicon carbide; and a plurality of SiC layers arranged side by side on the base layer when viewed in a planar view and each made of single-crystal silicon carbide. A gap is formed between end surfaces of adjacent SiC layers.
Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a silicon carbide substrate achieves reduced manufacturing cost. The method includes the steps of: preparing a base substrate and a SiC substrate; fabricating a stacked substrate by stacking the base substrate and the SiC substrate; fabricating a connected substrate by heating the stacked substrate; transferring a void, formed at a connection interface, in a thickness direction of the connected substrate by heating the connected substrate to cause the base substrate to have a temperature higher than that of the SiC substrate; and removing the void by removing a region including a main surface of the base substrate opposite to the SiC substrate.
Abstract:
A method of fabricating a silicon carbide substrate that can reduce the fabrication cost of a semiconductor device employing the silicon carbide substrate includes the steps of: preparing a SiC substrate made of single crystal silicon carbide; arranging a base substrate in a vessel so as to face one main face of the SiC substrate; forming a base layer made of silicon carbide so as to contact one main face of the SiC substrate by heating a base substrate to a temperature range greater than or equal to a sublimation temperature of silicon carbide constituting the base substrate. In the step of forming a base layer, a silicon generation source made of a substance including silicon is arranged in the vessel, in addition to the SiC substrate and the base substrate.
Abstract:
A semiconductor device with a novel structure is provided, which can hold stored data even when no power is supplied and which has no limitations on the number of writing operations. A semiconductor device is formed using a material which enables off-state current of a transistor to be reduced significantly; e.g., an oxide semiconductor material which is a wide-gap semiconductor. With use of a semiconductor material which enables off-state current of a transistor to be reduced significantly, the semiconductor device can hold data for a long period. In a semiconductor device with a memory cell array, parasitic capacitances generated in the nodes of the first to the m-th memory cells connected in series are substantially equal, whereby the semiconductor device can operate stably.
Abstract:
A massage machine using a small size and high torque brushless DC motor includes a driving unit moved up and down along guide rails of a chair and a first motor for moving the driving unit up and down. A pair of treatment head bases are driven reciprocally in opposite directions to each other; and a second motor reciprocally drives the treatment head bases in opposite directions to each other. Treatment heads are respectively supported by the treatment head bases; and a third motor drives the treatment heads in a plane substantially perpendicular to a backrest. A control circuit drives the respective motors respectively independently of one another. Each motor is a brushless motor. A control circuit corrects, corresponding to a load imposed on the brushless DC motor, a waveform of a drive signal applied to a winding of the brushless DC motor so as to allow a current flowing through the winding of the brushless DC motor to have a substantially sinusoidal waveform making it possible to reduce discomfort due to motor noise, and to accurately control the motor rotation speed.
