    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a work machine that is capable of flexibly setting an entry-prohibited area for a work device according to an operator's intention. To achieve this, a controller 40 sets, as a first position, the position of a work tool 8 that is located when a setting switch 33 is operated, and sets, as a second position, the position of the work tool 8 that is located when the setting switch 33 is operated after the setting of the first position. Further, the controller 40 sets, as a boundary surface of an entry-prohibited area, a plane 70 that passes through a first reference point A and a second reference point B and that is perpendicular to a ground contact surface of a lower track structure 1. The first reference point A is one of a plurality of reference points 8L and 8R on the work tool 8 located at the first position, the plurality of reference points 8L and 8R being preset on the work tool 8.

  • Patent number: 8786002
    Abstract: In terms of achieving a reduction in the cost of an antenna switch, there is provided a technology capable of minimizing harmonic distortion generated in the antenna switch even when the antenna switch is particularly formed of field effect transistors formed over a silicon substrate. Between the source region and the drain region of each of a plurality of MISFETs coupled in series, a distortion compensating capacitance circuit is coupled which has a voltage dependency such that, in either of the cases where a positive voltage is applied to the drain region based on the potential of the source region and where a negative voltage is applied to the drain region based on the potential of the source region, the capacitance decreases to a value smaller than that in a state where the potential of the source region and the potential of the drain region are at the same level.

  • Patent number: 8482058
    Abstract: In a high frequency amplifying MOSFET having a drain offset region, the size is reduced and the on-resistance is decreased by providing conductor plugs 13 (P1) for leading out electrodes on a source region 10, a drain region 9 and leach-through layers 3 (4), to which a first layer wirings 11a, 11d (M1) are connected and, further, backing second layer wirings 12a to 12d are connected on the conductor plugs 13 (P1) to the first layer wirings 11s, 11d (M1).

  • Publication number: 20130002338
    Abstract: SOI MOSFETs are used for the transistors for switching of an antenna switch and yet harmonic distortion is significantly reduced. Capacitance elements are respectively added to either the respective drains or gates of the transistors comprising the through MOSFET group of reception branch of the antenna switch. This makes the voltage amplitude between source and gate and that between drain and gate different from each other. As a result, the voltage dependence of source-drain parasitic capacitance becomes asymmetric with respect to the polarity of voltage. This asymmetry property produces signal distortion having similar asymmetry property. Therefore, the following can be implemented by setting it so that it has the same amplitude as that of second-harmonic waves arising from the voltage dependence of substrate capacitance and a phase opposite to that of the same: second-order harmonic distortion can be canceled out and thus second-order harmonic distortion can be reduced.

  • Publication number: 20110254087
    Abstract: To reduce the size and improve the power added efficiency of an RF power module having an amplifier element composed of a silicon power MOSFET, the on resistance and feedback capacitance, which were conventionally in a trade-off relationship, are reduced simultaneously by forming the structure of an offset drain region existing between a gate electrode and an n+ type drain region of the power MOSFET into a double offset one. More specifically, this is accomplished by adjusting the impurity concentration of an n? type offset drain region, which is closest to the gate electrode, to be relatively low and adjusting the impurity concentration of an n type offset drain region, which is distant from the gate electrode, to be relatively high.
