Abstract: A relatively compact trimming circuit for hypothetically breaking a fuse includes a resistance bypass circuit connected to a node between a resistor and a fuse. The bypass circuit selectively performs ordinary breakage and hypothetical breakage of the fuse in accordance with a control signal and a data signal. An output changeover circuit connected to the node generates a first output signal in accordance with a state of the fuse during the ordinary breakage. The output changeover circuit generates a second output signal in accordance with the data signal during the hypothetical breakage.

Abstract: Sense amplifiers provided in a same bank are divided into groups, the sense amplifiers in each group are connected to a common power supply wiring for the sense amplifier which is independent by the group, and the power supply wiring for the sense amplifier of each group is connected to a power supply circuit which is independent so that the ratio of the activated sense amplifiers to the driven power supply circuits is equalized in a reading-out/writing-in operation in which at least one sub-block in the bank is activated and a refreshing operation in which the sub-blocks are concurrently activated, which makes it possible to prevent an insufficiency/excess of a driving capacity of overdrive, without providing a special controlling circuit separately.

Abstract: The variable delay circuit has a delay circuit and a selector. The delay circuit is formed of a plurality of delay stages connected in cascade. The delay circuit receives an input signal at the initial delay stage and respectively outputs a delayed signal which is the input signal delayed, from the delay stages. The selector receives the delayed signals and selecting signals respectively corresponding to the delayed signals. The selector selects the delayed signal corresponding to an activated selecting signal and outputs the selected signal as a delayed output signal. The delay stage(s) subsequent to the delay stage outputting the delayed signal selected by the selector is/are inactivated. Not operating unnecessary delay stages can prevent wasteful power consumption.

Abstract: A fuel rod extracting machine which can extract the fuel rods one by one from a Korean type 17×17 Light Water Reactor fuel assembly comprises a multi-functional rotary head including a camera for measuring the positions of the fuel rods and securing nuts being fastened on the bottom end piece of fuel assembly, an impact wrench for unfastening the securing nuts, and a gripper for gripping and extracting the fuel rods one by one. All of these are installed on a single rotary disc, which is driven by a tool rotating motor, at intervals of 90 degrees. To improve the reliability and safety in using the multi-functional rotary head, a load cell and a remote compliance center are installed at the rear of the gripper. The load cell monitors a state of insertion of the fuel rod into a collet and measures a fuel rod extracting force. The remote compliance center provides the smooth insertion of the fuel rod onto the collet, even though there exists a small misalignment between them.
