  • Patent number: 6885048
    Abstract: A transistor-type ferroelectric nonvolatile memory element having an MFMIS (metal-ferroelectric-metal-insulator-semiconductor) structure that can be highly densely integrated. The MFMIS transistor has a constitution in which the MFM (metal-ferroelectric-metal) structure and the MIS (metal-insulator-semiconductor) structure are stacked up and down on nearly the same area, and the lower MIS structure has means for increasing the effective area of the MIS capacitance. Means for increasing the effective area of the capacitor is a trench in the semiconductor substrate, ruggedness in the MIS structure or a MIN (metal-insulator-metal) structure.

  • Patent number: 6824141
    Abstract: A chuck is provided having a body, oblique guides converging toward a forward portion of the body, and a groove around the body. A slidable jaw within each guide includes outer threads. A rotatable mechanism engaging the groove includes threads for engaging the jaw threads. A toothed member extends around the body. An inner sleeve extends over and rotates the mechanism, while moving the jaws toward the forward portion. An outer sleeve extends over the inner sleeve. A metal intermediate sleeve between the inner and outer sleeves engages two spring members engaged with the inner sleeve. A first torque application rotates the intermediate sleeve with respect to the inner sleeve and causes one of the spring members to ratchet with the toothed member. A greater second torque application to the intermediate sleeve causes the other spring member to prevent rotation between the intermediate and inner sleeves.
