  • Patent number: 7142465
    Abstract: A semiconductor memory in which a drop in the potential of a bit line due to coupling capacitance at the time of writing data can be restored in a space-saving way without increasing a load at read time. In response to a selection signal, a selection circuit selects complementary bit lines and connects the selected complementary bit lines to write data bus lines or read data bus lines. When data is written, a voltage boosting circuit section selects a read data bus line connected to a bit line of the pair of complementary bit lines located opposite to a bit line the potential of which is decreased on the basis of the data to be written and raises the potential of the selected read data bus line. As a result, a potential level which has dropped due to coupling capacitance between the bit lines can be restored.

  • Patent number: 6739476
    Abstract: An ampoule storage container 1 stores a plurality of ampoules 2 in a laterally orientated state with respect to a discharge direction. A belt conveyor 5 is disposed at the bottom of the ampoule storage container 1 so that the ampoule 2 can be conveyed in the laterally orientated state. An ampoule regulating member 10 is disposed above the belt 6 of the belt conveyor 5 to form a gap through which only one of the ampoule 2 can pass. A stopper 13 which comes into contact with the one end of the ampoule 2 passing through the gap is provided so that the ampoule 2 can be changed to a longitudinally orientated state. According to the present invention, the direction of the ampoule 2 can be changed and a desired number of ampoules 2 can be discharged one by one in spite of simple construction.
