  • Patent number: 6400596
    Abstract: When a phase shift method is used as lithography where sense amplifiers are alternately placed in a one intersecting-point memory capable of implementing a reduction in the area of a DRAM, it was difficult to layout data lines in a boundary region between sense amplifiers and each memory array. Therefore, there is provided a semiconductor device according to the present invention. In the semiconductor device, two data lines continuous within the sub memory arrays or interposed therebetween are connected to the adjacent sense amplifiers as a system for drawing data lines from sub memory arrays (SMA) to sense amplifiers (SA) when the sense amplifiers are alternately placed. Namely, the number of data lines interposed between data lines respectively connected to two adjacent sense amplifiers is set to even numbers (0, 2, 4, . . . ).

  • Patent number: 6212886
    Abstract: A hydraulic drive system includes a closed center directional control valve connected to a hydraulic pump through a hydraulic fluid supply line and controlling a flow of a hydraulic fluid supplied to an actuator. A throttle and cutoff means for throttling and cutting off an unloading circuit depending on a operation amount of the directional control valve is installed in the unloading circuit interconnecting the hydraulic fluid supply line and a reservoir. The throttle and cutoff means comprises a logic valve including a feedback slit of which an opening area is increased and decreased depending on an amount by which a valve body is moved, and a pilot variable throttle for controlling a rate of a pilot flow passing the feedback slit depending on the operation amount of the directional control valve.
