  • Publication number: 20080002511
    Abstract: A semiconductor memory and address-decoding circuit and method for decoding address allow the semiconductor memory to operate under a decreased capacity by disabling or hiding a predetermined portion of the semiconductor memory. The semiconductor memory comprises a first address-inputting circuit configured to receive a first external address, a switching circuit configured to switch a predetermined portion of the first external address to form an internal address, at least one address-setting code configured to set at least one predetermined bit of the internal address, a decoder coupling to the switching circuit and the address-setting code, and a memory array coupling to the decoder, wherein the decoder is configured to select at least one memory unit of the memory array based on the internal address. The first address-inputting circuit, the switching circuit and the address-setting code can be considered as an address-decoding circuit.

  • Patent number: 6223360
    Abstract: A water therapy apparatus includes a casing holding a liquid, the casing having an overflow port, a drain port, and an upwardly extended water pipe, a motor-pump controlled to pump the liquid from the casing into the water pipe, a control valve mounted on one end of the upwardly extended water pipe remote from the casing for causing the liquid passing through the upwardly extended water pipe to form a waterfall falling toward the casing, a meshed wooden plate mounted in the casing at a top side on which the user sits to receive the striking of the waterfall coming from the control valve, and a control device mounted on the outside of the casing for controlling the motor-pump to pump the liquid from the casing into the upwardly extended water pipe for producing a waterfall.
