  • Patent number: 7778790
    Abstract: A semiconductor integrated circuit device includes a plurality of flip-flops configured to form a scan chain in a scan path test to operate as a shift register. The first flip-flop of the plurality of flip-flops latches a first input signal in synchronization with a clock signal, outputs a first output signal and fixes the first output signal based on the first selection control signal. A second flip-flop of the plurality of flip-flops latches a second input signal in synchronization with the clock signal, outputs a second output signal, and fixes the second output signal based on a second selection control signal. The semiconductor integrated circuit device further includes a control circuit configured to generate the first and second selection control signals such that a period during which the first flip-flop fixes the first output signal is different from a period during which the second flip-flop fixes the second output signal.

  • Patent number: 7166354
    Abstract: The present invention provides a metal coated fiber with excellent coating strength and corrosion resistance, and a conductive resin composition with excellent conductivity. A feature of a metal coated fiber of the present invention is that following provision of a metal coating on the surface of the fiber, heat treatment is conducted at a temperature greater than the crystallization temperature but less than the melting temperature of the fiber. Gradual cooling is preferably performed following the heat treatment. Furthermore, a conductive metal coating may be provided as the metal coating, and an additional corrosion resistant metal coating then laminated onto the surface of the conductive metal coating. In addition, a feature of a conductive resin composition of the present invention is that metal coated short fibers, formed by providing a conductive metal coating on the surface of a substrate fiber formed from a synthetic resin and then conducting heat treatment, are mixed into a substrate resin.

  • Patent number: 6703123
    Abstract: A white conductive fiber is manufactured at an inexpensive cost having superior conductivity and high degree of whiteness, in which a metal coating plated on the fiber has superior adhesiveness. A method for manufacturing the white conductive fiber comprises the steps of mounting a wound fiber body formed by winding a continuous fiber to the fixing shaft, a step of flowing a plating solution from the fixing shaft to a plating bath via the wound fiber body so as to infiltrate the plating solution into the wound fiber body, and a step of performing electroless plating of silver, platinum, or the like on the fiber material while the plating solution flows.

  • Patent number: 6385314
    Abstract: A control system for transmission devices equipped with a high-efficiency coding scheme in a communication network which avoids degradation of the quality of an acoustic signal for transmission and permits an efficient transfer of the acoustic signal. The control system has a structure in which: information on a high-efficiency coding scheme used in the preceding transmission device is sent to the current exchange from the preceding one through the use of an out-band signaling system for transmitting and receiving a call control signal via a channel different from a speech channel; and based on the information sent to the current exchange, second-placed transmission devices connected to the current and following exchanges avoid effectively decoding/coding of the acoustic signal transferred thereto, or the use of these transmission devices is avoided.

  • Patent number: 5418749
    Abstract: A semiconductor memory device comprises a word lines (15), pairs of complementary data lines (17, 18), memory elements (MC11) respectively arranged at each intersection of the word lines and the pairs of complementary data lines, pairs of complementary signal lines (17s, 18s) each associated with a sense amplifiers (SA) and selectively connected to one of the pairs of complementary data lines via a pair of transfer gate transistors (7, 8), first precharge means (5, 6) for charging the pairs of complementary data lines and second precharge means (19, 20) for charging the pairs of complementary signal lines. The second precharge means charge the pairs of complementary signal lines to a first voltage (V.sub.D), the first precharge means charge the pairs of complementary signal lines to a second voltage (V.sub.D -V.sub.t) which is smaller than the first voltage by a threshold voltage (V.sub.
