  • Patent number: 7836536
    Abstract: A floor section is formed at the rear of a vehicle body, at one side of the vehicle body. A lifting floor device having a floor body lifted and lowered by a lifting drive device is placed above the vehicle body. The floor body has a cutout at the left side of the floor body, at the rear half thereof. The right side of the floor body is used as a passage for a physically handicapped person. A stairway device is provided between the floor body and the floor section as a passage for an able-bodied person, on the floor body side in the cutout, and the stairway device is pivotable in a vertical plane. A lifting table is placed behind the vehicle body, on the left side thereof so that the lifting table can face the rear end of the passage for a physically handicapped person.

  • Patent number: 4780716
    Abstract: A semiconductor integrated switching apparatus includes a space switch, a control memory, an output control circuit, an expanding circuit, an address comparator, and a maintenance reading circuit, all of which are integrated on a single substrate. The control memory controls switching operation of the space switch. The output control circuit transmits a highway signal selected by the space switch. The expanding circuit expands the capacity of the space switch. The address comparator reads out a written address signal upon writing thereof and compares a readout address signal with the written address signal. The maintenance reading circuit reads out an operation status signal of the space switch.
