  • Patent number: 10688957
    Abstract: In a lift-up buckle device, a slider and a shoe move forward and a buckle is moved to a stowed position. The shoe impacts against a protruding portion at a lower portion of a damper and interferes with a housing via the lower portion of the damper. Thus, the forward movement of the slider and shoe is stopped, while the damper absorbs an impact against the slider and shoe. Therefore, an amount of the impact against the slider and shoe that is absorbed by the damper may be increased by the protruding portion, and the damper may absorb the impact against the slider and shoe effectively.

  • Patent number: 10121541
    Abstract: The present invention makes it possible to form a circuit configuration that is capable of executing a keyword search at an increased speed while suppressing an increase in the memory capacity of a content-addressable memory. A semiconductor device according to an aspect of the present invention searches an input data string for a predesignated keyword, and includes a first content-addressable memory that stores a partial keyword corresponding to a predetermined number of data beginning with the first data of the keyword, a second content-addressable memory that stores the entirety of the keyword, and a control circuit that is coupled to the first content-addressable memory and to the second content-addressable memory. When a portion matching the partial keyword is detected in the input data string by a search in the first content-addressable memory, the second content-addressable memory executes a search on search data extracted from the input data string.
