Abstract: A self-timed random-access memory device includes randomly accessible memory circuitry (7), a clock generator (9) responsive to an external clock signal for generating an internal clock signal, an input circuit (8') responsive to the internal clock signal for latching and outputting a supplied input signal, an output circuit (11') responsive to the internal clock signal for latching and outputting an output from the memory device, and circuitry (81, 82, 85, 86; 115, 116, 124, 125; 135, 136, 144, 145) responsive to a through state specifying signal (TH, THM) for disabling the latch function of the input circuit and the output circuit. The memory device can be switched, in response to the through state specifying signal, between a mode operating synchronously with the externally supplied clock signal and another mode operating asynchronously with the externally supplied clock signal.

Abstract: When an input terminal, which is connected to an input transistor, is opened, a transistor having an emitter connected to the input transistor conducts to supply constant current to a constant current source which is connected to the emitter of the input transistor. Therefore, load current of a reference circuit connected to the constant current source is not changed even if the input terminal is opened. As the result, current valves of all constant current sources receiving voltage from the reference circuit are not changed so that the internal circuit of a semiconductor integrated circuit device can be stably operated.

Abstract: The invention provides a cosmetic container which allows the cosmetic-loaded cartridge to be freely inserted into and removed from the container body featuring the provision of the following; an internal cylinder which has a spiral groove over the inner circumferential surface and is placed inside the container body; a push rod which moves in the axial direction inside the inner cylinder under the guidance of the spiral groove; a coil spring which loads the push rod in the retracting direction; a chuck which holds the cosmetic and which can be inserted by sliding into a slit guide cylinder inside the cartridge which can be freely inserted into the container body in the axial direction; a coil spring which forces the chuck into the innermost position; and inner spline teeth provided on the internal circumference of the guide cylinder and coupled to the projecting members on the external circumferential surface of the push rod, where the push rod moves forward under the guidance of the spiral groove following t

Abstract: A cosmetic container for containing a bar-shaped cosmetic material, wherein a helical body is provided having on the top hereof a portion to which the bar-shaped cosmetic material is attached, said helical body being contained in a guide cylinder so that it does not rotate but only freely slides in the axial direction, and wherein a rotary rod having sliders slidably engaging with the helical groove of said helical body is coaxially placed within said helical body and provided so that it does not axially travel relative to said guide cylinder, whereby a feed motion is applied by rotation of the rotary rod on the helical body through the sliders to upwardly and downwardly move the cosmetic material along the inner periphery of the guide cylinder.

Therefore, load current of a reference circuit connected to the constant current source is not changed even if the input terminal is opened. As the result, current values of all constant current sources receiving voltage from the reference circuit are not changed so that the internal circuit of a semiconductor integrated circuit device can be stably operated.
