Abstract: An antifuse comprised of an NMOS transistor or an NMOS capacitor includes a first terminal coupled to a gate electrode, a second terminal coupled to a diffusion layer, and a gate insulating film interposed between the gate electrode and the diffusion layer. A programming circuit includes a first programming circuit which has first current drive capability and which performs first programming operation and a second programming circuit which has second current drive capability larger than the first current drive capability and which performs second programming operation to follow the first programming operation. In the first programming operation, the first programming circuit breaks down the gate insulating film by applying a first programming voltage between the first terminal and the second terminal. In the second programming operation, the second programming circuit applies a second programming voltage lower than the first programming voltage between the first terminal and the second terminal.

Abstract: An email wrong transmission preventing apparatus calculates memory ratios of addresses of emails in a transmission log by a model expression in which the memory ratios decline over time, compiles the memory ratios of the emails for each destination to set weights, and records the weights in a user weight list. When receiving a planned outgoing email, the apparatus compares the weight of the destination of the planned outgoing email obtained by referring to the user weight list with a predetermined threshold and determines that the destination is “reliable” only if the weight is over the threshold. If even one of the destinations of the planned outgoing email is not “reliable”, the apparatus causes a sender terminal to display an address check screen to prompt address checking. When “checked” is inputted, the apparatus transfers the planned outgoing email to an email transmission server.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to make available a pivoting display device which enables a display unit to be assuredly stowed even by using a relatively small elastic component, and which has enhanced reliability and is space-saving. When a power switch becomes off, a monitor which can be stowed is swung by urging force from a coil spring. In an initial stage in which counter-electromotive force Vm induced by a motor is greater than on-voltage of a FET, the counter-electromotive force Vm acts as rotation resistance for the motor. When the monitor approaches a stowage position, the rotating speed of the motor is reduced. Therefore, bias voltage of the FET is reduced due to reduction of the counter-electromotive force Vm, and the braking force imposed on the motor by the counter-electromotive force Vm is gradually reduced, thereby increasing pivoting speed.

Abstract: An impaired operation detection method is basically performed by sensing a yaw rate of a vehicle over a time period. Then time points are identified in which the yaw rate changes direction. A linear rate of change in the yaw rate is determined between two of the time points that are sequential in time. An actual rate of change is examined between the two time points. A difference between the actual rate of change and the linear rate of change to obtain a difference value. Then, the operator's impairment condition is determined based on the difference value.

The computer-implemented method enables concealing, upon the erasing flag is being on and the program being activated being other than the erasing program, data to be erased classified on the basis of the connection time included in the data stored in the removable storage medium.

Abstract: A semiconductor device has a conventional NMOS transistor and an NMOS transistor functioning as an anti-fuse element and having an n type channel region. The conventional NMOS transistor is equipped with an n type extension region and a p type pocket region, while the anti-fuse element is not equipped with an extension region and a pocket region. This makes it possible to improve the performance of the transistor and at the same time improve the characteristics of the anti-fuse element after breakdown of its gate dielectric film.

Abstract: There is provided a system always capable of detecting AE/ultrasound received by an FBG, even when the FBG receives a change in temperature or strain and the Bragg wavelength is fluctuated. In the AE/ultrasound detection system, the reflected light from the FBG is caused to enter a Fabry-Perot filter having an FSR equal to or greater than the reflection wavelength band of the FBG. A change in the intensity of the transmitted light corresponds to the AE/ultrasound received by the FBG. Alternatively, the reflected light from FBG is caused to enter two Fabry-Perot filters having an FSR equal to or greater than the reflection wavelength band of the FBG and having the filter-transmittance peak wavelengths different from each other by FSR/4. The intensity of the transmitted light from each of the two Fabry-Perot filters is converted into a voltage signal, and the individual signals are subjected to addition and subtraction processes.
