  • Patent number: 7367233
    Abstract: A pressure sensor module 2, wherein a holding space 34 is formed between a diaphragm 22 and a thin film layer 31, and a vent hole 321 communicating with the exterior of a first case is provided in the holding space 34. In the above pressure sensor module, even when a corrosive gas or chemical solution is used as a fluid to be measured and a corrosive gas component originated from the fluid to be measured permeates into the holding space 34, the permeated corrosive gas component can be discharged to the outside of the case through the vent hole 321. As a result, the corrosion of the diaphragm 22 by the fluid to be measured can be prevented, which results in the achievement of a prolonged service life of the pressure sensor module 2.

  • Patent number: 6760094
    Abstract: A print circuit board is demarcated with arbitrary areas. The print circuit board at one area is partly sucked and fixed on an alignment stage. After alignment with a mask, a pattern of the mask is transferred to the board. Next, shift is made to another area to repeat the same operation, thereby sequentially exposing all the areas to light.

  • Patent number: 6750696
    Abstract: A bias potential generation circuit in a level conversion circuit sets a bias potential applied to the backgate of an N-channel MOS transistor for pull-down at a positive potential when an input signal is set at the “L” level and the first and second signals are set at the “H” and “L” levels respectively, to lower the threshold voltage of the N-channel MOS transistor. Therefore, even if an amplitude voltage of the input signal is lowered, the operating speed can be increased.

  • Patent number: 6742007
    Abstract: In a programmable digital arithmetic circuit, each input/output terminal of the necessary elemental circuit is connected via a matrix switches.in order to selectively constitute multiple types of basic digital arithmetic circuits that differ from each other. By turning on and off each switching element of the matrix switches, any one of the above-mentioned desired basic digital arithmetic circuits can be selectively constituted. Changing the functions is realized by a matrix switches and during the setting of the coefficients a purely physical coefficient value can be chosen so that a programmable digital arithmetic circuit that can be easily understand and handled by users will be constituted.
