  • Patent number: 10224101
    Abstract: A data holding device 100 has an inverter loop 101, a differential pair circuit 102 connected to the ground terminals of inverters, a first potential setter 103 configured to turn the output terminals of the inverters to a first potential (VDD), and a second potential setter 104 configured to turn the ground terminals of the inverters to a second potential (VSS). During data holding, the differential pair circuit 102 and the first potential setter 103 are disabled so that the ground terminals of the inverters are at the second potential. During data writing, the differential pair circuit 102 is disabled so that the output terminal of one inverter is at the first potential and the ground terminal of the other inverter is at the second potential.

  • Patent number: 9971901
    Abstract: A content management apparatus as an embodiment of the present invention associates content information on content with group information on a user participation group in a posting management service that approves control for the content, and stores the associated information. The apparatus then acquires group information on the user participation group from the posting management service, upon receipt of a content control request. The apparatus determines whether or not the requested control is to be approved, based on the acquired group information and the group information stored in association with the content information on the content. This configuration allows the content management apparatus for managing the content to control access authorization according to setting of the group in the posting management service.
