Patent number: 6396065Abstract: In projecting radioactive rays for sanitizing food or the like, an irradiating condition which attains a uniform dose of radioactive rays for the entire objects to be exposed is automatically determined. An X-ray CT unit 6 captures a sectional image of an object to be exposed 2, and an irradiating condition determining section 8 acquires the density distribution of the object to be exposed 2 based on the captured sectional image. The irradiating condition determining section 8 then searches for a particular irradiating condition under which the dose distribution of the radioactive rays in the object to be exposed 2 falls within a predetermined range. An irradiation controlling section 16 controls a radioactive ray irradiating unit 14 based on the irradiating condition, and projects radioactive rays to the object to be exposed 2 in accordance with the irradiation condition when the object is transported to the radioactive ray irradiating unit 14 by a belt conveyor.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 1999Date of Patent: May 28, 2002Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Masakazu Kimura, Takeshi Hirano

Patent number: 5818090Abstract: A semiconductor device having an integrated circuit with high density load elements in memory cells forming a memory array wherein the load elements are either of the active (e.g., TFTs) or passive (e.g., resistance) type and designed so that the connection path between these elements and active element domains is extended to be longer within the same or smaller scale of the memory cell configuration. For this purpose, the connection path may be made to meander to provide for greater length, i.e., extend in one direction and then another within a single memory cell configuration. This further creates additional space for extending the resistance value of the active or passive load element which, in turn, permits a reduction in drain current, i.e., current consumption, during operational conditions of the memory cells or other circuits.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 1997Date of Patent: October 6, 1998Assignee: Seiko Epson CorporationInventor: Masakazu Kimura

Patent number: 5600599Abstract: An object of the present invention is to improve the output speed of a data signal output circuit having a latch circuit when the supply voltage is low. The data signal output circuit according to the present invention includes a latch circuit; an output circuit; a latch control circuit; an output control circuit; and a supply voltage decrease detection circuit. The latch circuit latches and holds a data signal according to a latch signal output from the latch control circuit. By setting the latch signal to one of two logical states, the latch circuit changes to a through state directly outputting an input data signal. The output circuit changes between a state for outputting a data signal from the latch circuit and a high-impedance state according to an output control signal output from the output control circuit. The supply voltage decrease detection circuit detects whether or not the supply voltage is less than a pre-determined value.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 1994Date of Patent: February 4, 1997Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Tomohiro Nakayama, Yutaka Fukutani, Takanori Shiga, Masakazu Kimura

Patent number: 5523968Abstract: Semiconductor memory devices, such as, SRAM IC memory devices, include a shield structure for shielding load elements in the memory cells of the memory devices from electric fields generated by surrounding active or passive elements, such as, an underlying MOSFET or a voltage supplying interconnect, to prevent deterioration of the operational resistance values and characteristics of the load elements. In the case of resistance elements utilized as load elements, a partial shield structure, i.e., a shield layer, at a constant voltage or zero volts, spatially underlying only a portion of the length of the resistance element is adequate to substantially remove the effect of such electric fields. In the case of TFT channel devices having channel offset regions utilized as load elements, a shield structure, i.e., a shield layer spatially underlying the TFT channel offset region is adequate to substantially remove the effect of such electric fields.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 1995Date of Patent: June 4, 1996Assignee: Seiko Epson CorporationInventor: Masakazu Kimura
