  • Patent number: 7887449
    Abstract: A speed-change transmission apparatus for effecting a speed-changing on an engine drive force with utilizing a continuously variable speed-change device, a plurality of planetary transmission mechanisms and a plurality of clutches is constructed to be capable of effecting the speed-changing operation smoothly, regardless of a centrifugal force generated in the clutches. An output from the continuously variable speed-change device and a drive force from the engine are combined by a planetary transmission section. The drive force from this planetary transmission section is transmitted via a clutch section to an output shaft. First, second, third and fourth clutches of the clutch section are configured to be switched over respectively between an engaged condition and a disengaged condition, as clutch members are engaged with or disengaged from output side rotational members.

  • Patent number: 7869260
    Abstract: A plurality of memory cells, each including a variable resistance element capable of having four or more values, are arranged at intersections of first wirings and second wirings. A control circuit selectively drives the first and second wirings. A sense amplifier circuit compares, with a reference voltage, a voltage generated by a current flowing through a selected memory cell. A reference voltage generation circuit includes: a resistance circuit including first and second resistive elements connected in parallel. Each of the first resistive elements has a resistance value substantially the same as a maximum resistance value in the variable resistance elements, and each of the second resistive elements has a resistance value substantially the same as a minimum resistance value in the variable resistance elements. A current regulator circuit averages currents flowing through the first and second resistive elements.

  • Patent number: 7845652
    Abstract: An arrangement is provided in which the durability of an operation changing means is improved when this means is provided to the suspension mechanism in a suspension structure for a work vehicle. A maximum position (A1) and minimum position (A2) of the operation of the suspension mechanism are detected, and an intermediate position (B1) between the maximum and minimum positions (A1) and (A2) is detected. When the intermediate position (B1) departs from the target range (H1), the operation of the suspension mechanism is changed to the body raising side or body lowering side so that the intermediate position (B1) moves toward the target range (H1).

  • Publication number: 20100277972
    Abstract: First and second memory cell arrays are adjacent in a first direction. First and second areas are positioned adjacent to one and the other side of the first memory array in a second direction. Third and fourth areas are positioned adjacent to one and the other side of the second memory array in a second direction. A sense amplifier is arranged in the first area and a current sink is arranged in the fourth area. The sense amplifier compares a read current which flows into the current sink via a memory cell in the first memory cell array and the second area from the sense amplifier with a reference current which flows into the current sink via the third area and a reference memory cell in the second memory cell array from the sense amplifier.

  • Patent number: 7791930
    Abstract: A MRAM includes a first magnetoresistive effect (MR) element that takes a low and high resistance states. A second MR element is fixed to a low or high resistance state. First and second MOSFETs are connected to the first and second MR elements, respectively. A sense amplifier amplifies a difference between values of current flowing through the first and second MOSFETs. A current circuit outputs reference current whose value lies between current flowing through the first MR element of the low and high resistance states. A third MOSFET has one end that receives the reference current and is connected to its own gate terminal. The gate terminal of the second MOSFET receives the same potential as the gate terminal of the third MOSFET. A first resistance element is connected to the others end of the third MOSFET and has the same resistance as the second magnetoresistive effect element.
