Abstract: A highly reliable memory device with excellent heat resistance that can be used in any environment utilizes a chemical change to define a state transition. The memory device includes a micro vacuum tube structure having a recess portion formed on an upper face of a quartz substrate, a cold cathode having many comb-tooth like tips extending from the quartz substrate over to one side of the recess portion, a rectangular control electrode disposed on the side of the cold cathode at the bottom of the recess portion, an anode extending from the quartz substrate over to the other side of the recess portion and facing opposed to the cold cathode, and a sealing member for vacuum sealing a space inside the recess portion 11a. N.sub.2 and O.sub.2 gases are enclosed in a space under the pressure of 0.2 mmHg. By changing the control electrode voltage, energy of accelerated electrons is changed: NO is produced at the control voltage of 17 eV, NO2 at 23 eV and the product gases dissociate to N.sub.2 and O.sub.

Abstract: A magnetic induction coil is mounted directly on and integrated with a semiconductor wafer containing integrated circuitry for a stable power source.

Abstract: An acceleration measuring device consists of a sealed-off, diode vacuum tube which in turn contains a cold cathode and an anode positioned at opposing longitudinal end regions of the vacuum tube via an inter-electrode space C. An inert argon gas is sealed in the vacuum tube at the pressure of 1 mm Hg. Because the acceleration measuring device utilizes field effect electron emission phenomenon, i.e., quantum mechanical tunneling by the Schottky effect, from the cold cathode, one obtains electron-emission characteristics which are essentially temperature independent. The vacuum tube also includes one or more areas connected to the inter-electrode space, local density of the gas in which connected areas changes in response to acceleration experienced by the acceleration measuring device, whereby the density of the gas in the inter-electrode space is altered.

The semiconductor areas can be used for vertical circuit elements. The partition dielectric films in conjunction with the embedded dielectric films and the face surface of the wafer also define additional planar semiconductor areas that can be used for planar structure circuit elements.

Abstract: A miniaturized electromagnetic wave detecting apparatus is provided that detects wavelengths from the microwave to the infrared regions in any environment. Electrons are field-emitted from an electron emitting means comprising a cold cathode and a gate electrode 2. Spiral motion and elongation of traveling length of the emitted electrons are enhanced by orthogonal magnetic field applied by a magnetic field application means while the electrons are attracted to the anode. The electrons are accelerated by the cyclotron resonance enhanced when the angular cyclotron resonance frequency .omega..sub.c, determined by the magnetic flux density of the orthogonal magnetic field, and the angular frequency .omega..sub.f of the electromagnetic wave to be measured coincide with each other. The accelerated electrons collide with and dissociate the dilute gas molecules to produce multiplied ion-pairs, which are then captured by the cathode and anode.

Abstract: A type arrangement data editing apparatus in which type arrangement data from a type carrier is automatically edited in accordance with the carrier set carried by the type carrier. A first area of a ROM stores the basic type arrangement data for a plurality of basic character sets. A second area of the ROM stores replacement data which is replaced for specific symbols in the basic character sets, and the start addresses of the type arrangement data for each set. An identifier identifies which character set and which replacement data are carried on the type carrier. A microprocessor stores a program for retrieving the respective type arrangement data and inserting the replacement data therein. The data is sent to a RAM, where it is compared to input data to print a specific print symbol.

Abstract: A magnetic interference prevention system in a printer comprising a plurality of print hammers whose hammering surfaces are disposed in a straight line and a plurality of printing magnets arranged adjacent one another to drive each of the print hammers respectively. In this system when a signal to drive a first printing magnet for a column is provided the driving of at least one of two printing magnets adjacent to the first printing magnet is inhibited for a predetermined period of time. This will prevent three adjacent printing magnets from being driven substantially at the same time.

Abstract: A device for limiting the number of printing columns in a printer in which a group of printing data codes transferred from a data source are successively compared with a group of type codes which are determined in correspondence to the instantaneous positions of type on a type carrier, so that a type in a place where a printing data code coincides with a type code is printed. The device comprises a reversible counter adapted to subject a coincidence signal relating to said printing data code and type code and a printing completion signal for each place to addition and subtraction, respectively, so that when the count value of the reversible counter reaches a predetermined value, printing for further places is inhibited.
