Abstract: A bearing device is used as a bearing for a pivot of a head stack assembly to thereby make a hard disc drive thin. Widths of first and second inner races 12a and 13a are set to be smaller than the widths of first and second outer races 12b and 13b. Even if first and second bearings 12 and 13 (outer races 12b and 13b) are mounted on a shaft 9 in contact with each other, a space S is formed between the first and second inner races 12a and 13a. From this structure, in the case where a pre-pressure is applied to the second inner race 13a, it is possible to adjust the pre-pressure in a wide range. In the prior art, it has been necessary to provide an annular projection or a spacer for keeping a space for application of the pre-pressure. However, the present invention makes possible to dispense with the annular projection or the spacer. Corresponding to this, the width of the bearing device 10 is shortened.

Abstract: A semiconductor device having a multi-value memory including an offset ROM and a manufacturing method thereof can be obtained which allows accurate formation of a source/drain region and an offset region. In this semiconductor device, an offset source/drain region is provided so that a side end portion thereof is positioned substantially in flush with a lower end of an external surface of a sidewall insulating film placed on a side surface of a first gate electrode. Consequently, the offset source/drain region can be formed easily in a self-aligned manner by ion implantation using the sidewall insulating film as a mask, thereby forming the offset region accurately in a self-aligned manner.

Abstract: Each of the portions corresponding to the crossings of a plurality of first strip conductive layers serving as bit lines and a plurality of second strip conductive layers serving as word lines crossing the conductive layers at right angles is used as one memory cell. An oxide film is provided between the first strip conductive layers and the second strip conductive layers. The thickness of this oxide film is set in each memory cell according to stored data. Also a multi-value memory can be realized, since the amount of stored data in each memory cell is an arbitrary amount of 1 bit or more by making the stored data of a plurality of types of memory cells having different thicknesses in the tunnel oxide film 15 correspond to a plurality of different data. The size of each memory cell can be reduced since the occupying area of each memory cell on the semiconductor substrate is dependent on the width of the first strip conductive layer and the second strip conductive layer.

Abstract: An apparatus for editing color image capable, by having a desired color in an original designated and an editing mode selected, of image editing for an image in the designated color in such an editing mode as trimming, masking, erasing, and conversion to another color. A desired color in an original image is designated by a designated color input portion and thereby designated color data for separated colors are obtained. Thereafter, the original image is scanned and image data for separated colors are obtained. The thus input image data are electrically edited in the selected edit mode based on the designated color data and the edited image data are output to an image forming unit and thereby an edited color image is obtained.

Abstract: A semiconductor storage device formed on a single chip includes a ROM, a RAM and an input/output port. When a mode setting signal designates a normal mode, access is made to one of the ROM, RAM and input/output port in response to an address signal. The ROM is accessed when the mode setting signal designates a ROM write mode and the address signal designates an address assigned to the ROM. A dummy data is output from a data input/output terminal when the mode setting signal designates the ROM write mode, the address signal designates an address outside an address region assigned to the ROM, and a read signal is applied to the device.
