Patent number: 6959365Abstract: A microcomputer with a built-in flash memory is obtained in which the flash memory can be properly rewritten with a rewrite program kept placed on the flash memory and without requiring additional complicated control circuitry. On accepting an erase/write command which constitutes a rewrite command, a flash memory module (2) outputs to a flash memory control circuit (3) a ready status signal RYIBY indicative of a busy state during execution of the series of processing. When the ready status signal RYIBY indicates the busy state, the flash memory control circuit (3) outputs a hold signal HOLD at active “H,” in order to inhibit a CPU (1) from accessing the flash memory module (2). When the ready status signal RYIBY has recovered the ready state, the flash memory control circuit (3) outputs the hold signal HOLD at “L” to allow the CPU (1) to access the flash memory module (2).Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2002Date of Patent: October 25, 2005Assignee: Renesas Technology Corp.Inventors: Naoki Ootani, Yoshio Kasai, Toshihiro Abe, Mitsuru Sugita

Patent number: 6681576Abstract: A method for improving the efficiency of power generation in a method for power generation comprising forcefully forming an ascending gas flow channel and a descending gas flow channel within a closed zone with a gas sealed therein, generating a whirling flow by the synergistic interaction of both and rotating a turbine by the whirling flow to generate electric power as well as a device for realizing the same. A whirling flow to rotate fans (3,4) is generated by installing a cylindrical rotor (2) between the ascending gas flow channel and the descending gas flow channel. Optionally, a second cylindrical rotor (12) is further installed between the ascending gas flow channel and the partition wall isolating the closed zone from outside so as to reduce the friction between the ascending gas flow and the descending gas flow. And, the present invention is suitable as a method for power generation by utilizing, for example, a temperature difference occurring in nature.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2002Date of Patent: January 27, 2004Inventor: Toshihiro Abe
