Publication number: 20210282989Abstract: The wheelchair includes a seating portion, body frames that support the seating portion, wheels that are rotatably supported by the body frames, an engaging portion, a left brake that brakes a left rear wheel, and a coupling portion that couples the engaging portion and the left brake to each other. The engaging portion is capable of switching between an engagement attitude for engaging a vehicle body member that forms an opening of a vehicle and a disengagement attitude for releasing the engagement with the vehicle body member. The coupling portion transmits the movement of the engaging portion to the left brake when the engaging portion makes an attitude change from the disengagement attitude to the engagement attitude. This operates the left brake when the attitude of the engaging portion switches from the disengagement attitude to the engagement attitude and brakes the left rear wheel.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 12, 2021Publication date: September 16, 2021Applicant: Mazda Motor CorporationInventors: Takashi IWASE, Isao TODA, Akira YASUTAKE, Tsuyoshi ARINAGA

Patent number: 8335112Abstract: A nonvolatile semiconductor memory device is provided which can accurately read data with low consumption current. The flash memory selects a memory cell according to an external address signal in response to the leading edge of a clock signal and reads data from the memory cell in response to the leading edge of the clock signal in the normal read mode, whereas, in the low-speed read mode for performing a read operation with lower power consumption than that of the normal read mode, reads data from the memory cell in response to the trailing edge of the clock signal. Therefore, data can be accurately read even if noise is generated in response to the leading edge of the clock signal in the low-speed read mode, because the noise level has dropped at the trailing edge of the clock signal.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2010Date of Patent: December 18, 2012Assignee: Renesas Electronics CorporationInventors: Takashi Kono, Ken Matsubara, Takashi Iwase

Patent number: 8144518Abstract: The semiconductor device includes a nonvolatile memory, having a memory array containing 1-bit twin cells, each composed of electrically rewritable first and second storage devices, the first and second storage devices holding binary data according to difference of their threshold voltages, and having different retention characteristics depending on difference of the binary data thereof; a read circuit for differentially amplifying complementary data output from the first and second storage devices of the twin cell selected for read, and judging information stored in the twin cell; and a control circuit. Two memory cells constituting a twin cell are arranged to hold different data. Therefore, even when the retention performance of one memory cell deteriorates, the difference between data held by the two memory cells can be maintained. Hence, differential amplification of such difference enables acquisition of proper stored information.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2011Date of Patent: March 27, 2012Assignee: Renesas Electronics CorporationInventors: Masamichi Fujito, Makoto Mizuno, Takahiro Yokoyama, Kenji Kawada, Takashi Iwase, Yasunobu Aoki, Takashi Kurafuji, Tomohiro Uchiyama, Shuichi Sato, Yuji Uji

Publication number: 20110288807Abstract: The present invention is directed to improve the precision of failure detection by performing the failure detection by changing an analog amount of a circuit to be subjected to the failure detection. An analog amount of the circuit to be subjected to failure detection is changed under a predetermined condition by a tuning circuit, and a state change in the circuit to be subjected to failure detection based on the change in the analog amount in the circuit to be subjected to failure detection is determined by a failure detection circuit, thereby detecting a failure in the circuit to be subjected to failure detection. In such a manner, without monitoring an output of the failure detection circuit on the outside of a semiconductor device, a failure in the circuit to be subjected to failure detection can be detected.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 19, 2011Publication date: November 24, 2011Inventors: Takashi Iwase, Masamichi Fujito
