  • Patent number: 7262480
    Abstract: A high frequency power amplifying device has two amplifying lines. Each amplifying line has a configuration in which a plurality of amplifying stages are connected in cascade having two source voltage terminals, of which one is connected to the first amplifying stage of one amplifying line and to the remaining amplifying stages of the other amplifying line, and the other, to the first amplifying stage of the latter amplifying line and to the remaining amplifying stages of the former amplifying line. An air core coil with a low D.C. resistance, formed by spirally winding a copper wire of about 0.1 mm in diameter, is connected in series between the final amplifying stage of each amplifying line and the source voltage terminal.

  • Patent number: 6686663
    Abstract: Two memory chips mounted over a base substrate have the same external size and a flash memory of the same memory capacity formed thereon. These memory chips are mounted over the base substrate with one of them being overlapped with the upper portion of the other one, and they are stacked with their faces being turned in the same direction. The bonding pads BP of one of the memory chips are disposed in the vicinity of the bonding pads BP of the other memory chip. In addition, the upper memory chip is stacked over the lower memory chip in such a way that the upper memory chip is slid in a direction (X direction) parallel to the one side of the lower memory chip and in a direction (Y direction) perpendicular thereto in order to prevent partial overlapping of it with the bonding pads BP of the lower memory chip.

  • Patent number: 6654481
    Abstract: A mobile object combination detection apparatus includes a plurality of moving image input units, a plurality of mobile object detection units each connected to one of the moving image input units, and a combination determination unit. Each of the plurality of mobile object detection unit detects a mobile object at a predetermined position on a moving image inputted thereto from the moving image input unit, and sends detection information to the combination determination unit. The combination determination unit compares the detection information of the mobile object sent thereto from each of the mobile object detection unit with a predetermined condition to determine that a target mobile object is detected when the detection information satisfies the predetermined condition.
