Publication number: 20150285710Abstract: An in-cylinder pressure detecting apparatus for an internal combustion engine, for detecting an in-cylinder pressure which is a pressure in a combustion chamber of the engine. The in-cylinder pressure is detected by an in-cylinder pressure detecting block, and a motoring pressure corresponding to an in-cylinder pressure when no combustion is performed in the combustion chamber, is estimated. A peak value of the detected in-cylinder pressure is obtained as a detected pressure peak value in a predetermined operating condition of the engine. An estimated motoring pressure peak value which is a peak value of the estimated motoring pressure and corresponds to the detected pressure peak value, is calculated. The detected pressure peak value is compared with the estimated motoring pressure peak value, and sensitivity correction of the in-cylinder pressure detecting block is performed based on a result of the comparison.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 30, 2015Publication date: October 8, 2015Inventors: Shusuke AKAZAKI, Shunichi SAITO

Patent number: 8422263Abstract: A memory module includes a plurality of memory chips, a plurality of data register buffers, and a command/address/control register buffer mounted on a module PCB. The data register buffers perform data transfers with the memory chips. The command/address/control register buffer performs buffering of a command/address/control signal and generates a control signal. The buffered command/address/control signal is supplied to the memory chips, and the control signal is supplied to the data register buffers. According to the present invention, because line lengths between the data register buffers and the memory chips are shortened, it is possible to realize a considerably high data transfer rate.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2010Date of Patent: April 16, 2013Assignee: Elpida Memory, Inc.Inventors: Shunichi Saito, Toshio Sugano, Atsushi Hiraishi, Fumiyuki Osanai, Masayuki Nakamura, Hiroki Fujisawa

Patent number: 7986037Abstract: As a power feed route in a semiconductor chip, a power feed route which reduces antiresonance impedance in the frequency range of tens of MHz is to be realized thereby to suppress power noise in a semiconductor device. By inserting structures which raise the resistance in the medium frequency band into parts where the resistance is intrinsically high, such as power wiring in a semiconductor package and capacitor interconnecting electrode parts, the antiresonance impedance in the medium frequency band can be effectively reduced while keeping the impedance low at the low frequency.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2008Date of Patent: July 26, 2011Assignees: Hitachi, Ltd., Elpida Memory, Inc.Inventors: Yutaka Uematsu, Tatsuya Saito, Hideki Osaka, Yoji Nishio, Shunichi Saito

Publication number: 20100312956Abstract: A memory module includes a plurality of memory chips and a plurality of data register buffers mounted on the module substrate. At least two memory chips are allocated to each of the data register buffers. Each of the data register buffers includes M input/output terminals (M is a positive integer equal to or larger than 1) that are connected to the data connectors via a first data line and N input/output terminals (N is a positive integer equal to or larger than 2M) that are connected to corresponding memory chips via second and third data lines, so that the number of the second and third data lines is N/M times the number of the first data lines. According to the present invention, because the load capacities of the second and third data lines are reduced by a considerable amount, it is possible to realize a considerably high data transfer rate.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 3, 2010Publication date: December 9, 2010Applicant: Elpida Memory, Inc.Inventors: Atsushi Hiraishi, Toshio Sugano, Fumiyuki Osanai, Masayuki Nakamura, Hiroki Fujisawa, Shunichi Saito
