Publication number: 20240147699Abstract: An apparatus that includes a semiconductor substrate having first and second gate trenches arranged in parallel and extending in a first direction, and first and second gate electrodes embedded in the first and second gate trenches, respectively, via a gate insulating film. Each of the first and second gate electrodes includes a first conductive film located at a bottom of the respective first and second gate trenches and a second conductive film stacked on the first conductive film. The second conductive film included in a first portion of the second gate electrode is thinner than the second conductive film included in a first portion of the first gate electrode which is arranged adjacently to the first portion of the second gate electrode in a second direction crossing to the first direction. The second conductive film is lower in work function than the first conductive film.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 1, 2022Publication date: May 2, 2024Applicant: MICRON TECHNOLOGY, INC.Inventors: Toshiyasu Fujimoto, Yoshihiro Matsumoto

Patent number: 8240119Abstract: A high-strength cable having a twisted layer of non-metallic reinforcing elements in outer coatings is disclosed. The reinforcing elements include coating elements, fiber elements of copolyparaphenylene-3,4?-oxydiphenyleneterephthalic amide disposed in the coating elements, and filling materials filled between the fiber elements, respectively. The lateral compression stress of the fiber elements of the copolyparaphenylene-3,4?-oxydiphenyleneterephthalic amide is 75 cN/dtex or more.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2009Date of Patent: August 14, 2012Assignees: Furukawa Electric Co., Ltd., Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and TechnologyInventors: Yoshihiro Fujimoto, Katsuya Sakamoto, Tatsushi Fujimori, Hajime Izawa, Hiroyuki Osawa, Takashi Murashima, Kikuo Hashimoto

Publication number: 20100326038Abstract: A high-strength cable is a high-strength cable that has a twisted layer 21 of non-metallic reinforcing elements in outer coatings. Reinforcing elements 41 and 42 have coating elements 50 and 60, fiber elements 51 and 61 of copolyparaphenylene-3,4?-oxydiphenyleneterephthalic amide disposed in the coating elements 50 and 60, and filling materials 52 and 62 filled between the fiber elements, respectively. The lateral compression stress of the fiber elements 51 and 61 of the copolyparaphenylene-3,4?-oxydiphenyleneterephthalic amide is 75 cN/dtex or more.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 18, 2009Publication date: December 30, 2010Applicants: FURUKAWA ELECTRIC CO., LTD., JAPAN AGENCY FOR MARINE-EARTH SCIENCE AND TECH.Inventors: Yoshihiro Fujimoto, Katsuya Sakamoto, Tatsushi Fujimori, Hajime Izawa, Hiroyuki Osawa, Takashi Murashima, Kikuo Hashimoto

Patent number: 7604864Abstract: A non-oil repellent photosensitive material layer 2 and an oil repellent photosensitive material layer 3 formed by coating on a substrate 1 are exposed at the same time with light having a single wavelength (I-line) in accordance with bank regions and thereafter developed. In consequence, banks 300 are formed having a double-layer structure which is comprised of bottom layer portions 31 of a non-oil repellent material and top layer portions 32 of an oil repellent material. This blocks organic EL materials supplied between the banks 300 from moving beyond tops of the banks 300 and prevents color mixing of the organic EL materials. Further, since the bottom layer portions 31 between which organic layers are formed are made of the non-oil repellent material, the profiles of the organic layers will not change due to surface tension.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2006Date of Patent: October 20, 2009Assignee: Dainippon Screen Mfg. Co., Ltd.Inventors: Mikio Masuichi, Yoshihiro Fujimoto

Patent number: 6867380Abstract: An electronic apparatus, which performs properly with reliability even in an operation through blind-touch, is provided. The electronic apparatus includes a first switch section made up of at least one push switch, a second switch section made up of at least one push switch, and a long and protruding section placed rigidly between the first and the second switch sections.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2003Date of Patent: March 15, 2005Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Ryuji Miki, Hirofumi Takemasa, Yoshihiro Fujimoto

Patent number: 6704495Abstract: An audio-video playback device in which a plane formed by the right sides of the device body and a plane formed by the right side of the monitor portion are on a substantially same plane, and the plane is substantially orthogonal to the rotation axis (R-R) of rotatably supporting portions. The center of gravity of the device body is located toward the right side, whereby the stable side-down setting of the device in the manner that the right sides (1R and 2R) face downward is realized. While, operation switches and the like are not disposed on the right sides, a user lying down can operate the device and watch natural display images and listen to natural sounds if the device is sidewards.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 1999Date of Patent: March 9, 2004Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Takaaki Kumazawa, Genichi Yamada, Ko Hamano, Tadashi Maeoka, Yoshihiro Fujimoto, Takamichi Nakagawa

Patent number: 5867467Abstract: A package relay terminal assembly of the present invention not only electrically conducts to exterior connection terminals (101) of an electric circuit housed in a record package (100) but also is intended to guide and position the record package within a recording and reproducing device during recording and reproduction, and ensure reliable setting of the record package in place. To this end, the package relay terminal assembly of the present invention has L-shaped terminal strips (1) corresponding in number to the exterior connection terminals (101) of the record package (100), the terminal strips (1) being arranged side by side on a terminal wall (2a). And the terminal wall (2a) is provided with a base block (2b) and a guide wall (2c).Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 1996Date of Patent: February 2, 1999Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Akio Konishi, Koichiro Hirabayashi, Takefumi Yanagihara, Yoshihiro Fujimoto

Patent number: 4751591Abstract: A digital signal processing system monitors variation of the signal level of a reproduced signal and also monitors variation of the differentiated signal level. The system generates a read-enable pulse when the reproduced signal level rises or drops across a predetermined threshold level and this is followed by a zero-crossing in the differentiated signal level.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 1985Date of Patent: June 14, 1988Assignee: Sony CorporationInventor: Yoshihiro Fujimoto
