Abstract: An integrated semiconductor device with a wafer-level burn-in circuit includes a test mode register and an access controller. The integrated semiconductor device is set at a voltage force mode by placing the test mode register at a test mode, and is forcedly supplied with prescribed voltages. The wafer-level burn-in is carried out by setting an access controller at a WLBI (wafer-level burn-in) mode with maintaining the test mode. After completing the wafer-level burn-in operation, the WLBI mode is released. Then, an external tester reads test data from a memory core in the test mode, and compares the test data with expected values. The integrated semiconductor device with a wafer-level burn-in circuit can solve a problem of a conventional integrated semiconductor device with a wafer-level burn-in circuit in that it cannot verify the function of the wafer-level burn-in circuit properly.

Abstract: A facsimile device for transmitting an original document that is stationarily placed on a document scanning plate during the document transmission is provided. The device includes a sending key for initiating the transmission of the original document, an end line detecting sensor for detecting an end line of the original document being transmitted, and false signal generating units having a main control unit and a device for generating a false signal to a circuit that is used for holding the transmission in response to the detection of the end line by the end line detecting sensor. In this facsimile device, during the replacement of original documents the circuit holds the transmission by sending the false signal generated by the false signal generating units. Furthermore, an operator can transmit one or a plurality of documents in their respective desired lengths.

Abstract: A process for producing a laminated panel core made of stainless steel includes the step of preparing a core of the laminated panel by subjecting stainless steel foils to repeated outward and inward foldings in a constant mode in one direction to make a plurality of multi-layered folded sheets of stainless steel. An adhesive is applied to a portion of the surfaces of the folded sheets and a desired number of the multi-layered sheets are laminated. The adhesive causes the sheets to adhere to one another in the areas of application of the adhesive. The laminate is sliced in a plane perpendicular to the plane generally defined by each of the multi-layered sheets into an appropriate small thickness and is extended and deformed in a plane parallel to the plane in which the laminate is sliced and in the direction of lamination of the sheets. A multi-layered sheet for use in a process for forming laminated panels and a stainless steel foil core for use in a laminated panel are also disclosed.
