Abstract: A semiconductor device and a control method therefor capable of reliably reading control parameter information from an information storage portion and holding the same in an internal circuit upon turning-ON of a power source, in which the fuse reading signal is actuated by a power-ON reset signal POR to start reading for the fuse information and it continues till the first command entry signal. The read out information is defined by the first command entry signal and held in the holding portion. A correct fuse information is read and held at a sufficient power source voltage level and for a sufficient time from the rising of the power source voltage VDD to a predetermined level to a stable voltage level, and erroneous fuse information is not held.

Abstract: A front structure of an automotive vehicle, comprising a shroud having a shroud upper, shroud lower, and a pair of shroud sides, a bumper face, and a plate member, a front end of which extends to a position near a back face of the bumper face and a rear end of which is attached to the shroud lower, wherein protruding portions are provided at both-side ends of the plate member so as to protrude outward respectively in a vehicle width direction from both-side ends of the shroud lower, and projecting portions are provided at the protruding portions so as to project rearward respectively along side end portions of the shroud lower. Accordingly, the prevention of pedestrian dragging against the vehicle frontal oblique crush can be improved.

Abstract: A magnetic head comprises an MR element, and a substrate supporting the MR element from both sides at a center portion, and a magnetic tape is in contact and slide-contact with a slide-contact surface thereof. A curvature in a thickness direction of the slide-contact surface is set to be larger at a center portion than at both sides thereof. In this way, it is possible to protect the slide-contact surface of the magnetic head from eccentric wear and avoid deterioration of the magnetic head performance.

Abstract: A method of and an apparatus for simultaneously sizing a large number of long fiber yarns, in which number of warper's beams having a sufficient number of warps for weaving of cloth is divided into 2 or 3 sets of beams according to the total number of warps and the yarn diameter so that yarns in each divided set are placed in the width equal to that of said weaver's beam having a yarn pitch of over 3 times that of the yarn diameter, each warp sheet from divided warper's beams is sized and dried passing over one of the sizing and drying paths having a same distance of 2 or 3 systems placed in vertical levels under a same amount of draft, and then each yarn which is sized and dried in each system is wound onto a weaver's beam over a path of the same distance with a same amount of draft.

Abstract: A method of sizing and drying spun yarns intended for use as warps is disclosed. A large number of spun yarns withdrawn from at least one warp beam supported on a beam stand, in spaced relationship in the form of a sheet, are advanced through a solution of size and squeezed in a sizing section, so that size is uniformly applied to the yarns. The yarns thus sized are rubbed against rods and comb needles having surfaces moistened with water or a weak solution of size, whereby any fluff on the yarns is laid or bound. The yarns thus defluffed are passed around a plurality of heated cylinders to be thereby dried and are, then, wound on a take-up beam in a winding section. Yarn spacing is maintained at at least 1.3 mm throughout the operation. Disclosed also is an apparatus specifically adapted for carrying out the method.
