  • Publication number: 20210335433
    Abstract: A semiconductor storage device includes a memory cell connected to a word line, and a control circuit configured to execute a write operation that repeats a program loop including a program operation of applying a program voltage to the word line and a verification operation to be executed after the program operation. The control circuit, during the write operation, increases the program voltage by a first amount each time the program loop is repeated, and after the write operation is interrupted and resumed, changes the increase in the program voltage from the first amount to a second amount, which is a positive number smaller than the first amount.

  • Publication number: 20210275696
    Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide a technique for imaging the brain of a live animal and application of the technique. A radiolabeled dibenzoazepine derivative, which shows excellent brain parmeability, high receptor selectivity and high quantitativity, is used for imaging a live animal body. A dibenzoazepine derivative is used for treating a disease in which hM4D receptor or hM3D receptor participates. Further, a radiolabeled dibenzoazepine derivative is used for imaging an axonal end which is innervated by a nerve cell.

  • Patent number: 9922707
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a semiconductor storage apparatus includes a memory cell array and a read circuit. The memory cell array includes a memory cell which is connected to a word line. A threshold voltage of the memory cell corresponds to a data value of multiple bits. The read circuit receives designation of one bit among the multiple bits, applies a first reading voltage and a second reading voltage corresponding to the designated bit to the word line, senses ON or OFF of the memory cell for each reading voltage, and outputs a first sensed value and a second sensed value after performing the sensing for each reading voltage. The first sensed value is a sensing result in a case where the first reading voltage is applied. The second sensed value is a sensing result in a case where the second reading voltage is applied.
