  • Publication number: 20190307401
    Abstract: A light emission and reception system for optical biometric measurement includes a light radiator and a light receiver. The light radiator radiates source light to a living body. The light receiver receives return light scattered from the living body. The light radiator and the light receiver are disposed at an end face of the system which is to be put into contact with a surface of the living body. The system measures biometric data of the living body based on intensity of the light detected by the light receiver. The light receiver comprises segments at different angular ranges around a center axis of the light radiator, and/or the light radiator comprises segments at different angular ranges around a center axis of the light receiver.

  • Patent number: 8174901
    Abstract: This invention is to reduce the number of memory gate drivers, while lessening the number of times of disturb occurrence in a memory array configuration that implements writing in small byte units. A memory array comprises a plurality of sub-arrays, MG transfers, SL drivers, and CG drivers. Each sub-array includes a plurality of memory gate lines, control gate lines, source lines, and bit lines. Memory cells are arranged in positions of intersections of these lines. The control gate lines, CG drivers, source lines, and SL drivers are common to the sub-arrays, whereas the memory gate lines and MG buffer circuits are provided for each sub-array. Thereby, the units in which data is written are decreased and adverse effects of disturb are reduced without increasing the circuit size of the memory array.

  • Patent number: 8144518
    Abstract: The semiconductor device includes a nonvolatile memory, having a memory array containing 1-bit twin cells, each composed of electrically rewritable first and second storage devices, the first and second storage devices holding binary data according to difference of their threshold voltages, and having different retention characteristics depending on difference of the binary data thereof; a read circuit for differentially amplifying complementary data output from the first and second storage devices of the twin cell selected for read, and judging information stored in the twin cell; and a control circuit. Two memory cells constituting a twin cell are arranged to hold different data. Therefore, even when the retention performance of one memory cell deteriorates, the difference between data held by the two memory cells can be maintained. Hence, differential amplification of such difference enables acquisition of proper stored information.
