20140334240 | SEMICONDUCTOR INTEGRATED CIRCUIT DEVICE - An output signal characteristic of a differential amplifier circuit is improved. When an input data signal becomes ‘Low’, current flowing through a first transistor will decrease and potential at a connection (a node) between a first resistor and a second resistor will increase. This potential is input (negatively fed back) to the gate of a second transistor, and because this gate potential increases, a tail current amount is adjusted in an increasing direction. When the input data signal becomes ‘High’, the current of the first transistor increases and thus the potential at the node decreases. Thus, the gate potential (negative feedback) of the second transistor decreases, and the tail current amount is adjusted in a decreasing direction. Thus, in the rising and falling of an input waveform, the difference in a delay time with respect to the output waveform decreases, respectively. | 11-13-2014 |

20090195292 | SEMICONDUCTOR INTEGRATED CIRCUIT DEVICE - A semiconductor integrated circuit device including an I/O circuitry capable of low-voltage high-speed operation at low cost is provided. In the I/O circuitry, when an I/O voltage (for example, 3.3 V) is lowered to a predetermined voltage (for example, 1.8 V), portions causing a speed deterioration are a level conversion unit and a pre-buffer unit for driving a main large-sized buffer. In view of this, a high voltage is applied to a level up converter and a pre-buffer circuit. By doing so, it is possible to achieve an I/O circuitry capable of low-voltage high-speed operation at low cost. | 08-06-2009 |

20110088960 | SHOCK ABSORBING STRUCTURE FOR VEHICLE - A shock absorbing member is supported on a shock absorbing member support bracket fixed onto a floor tunnel sandwiched between left and right front seats. Therefore, it is possible to allow the front seats to interfere with the shock absorbing member so that the member can absorb collision energy at a time of a side collision of a vehicle. Because a lower portion of a front wall connected to an inverted-U-shaped inner face of the shock absorbing member is connected to an upper portion of a front wall of the shock absorbing member support bracket, the front wall of the shock absorbing member support bracket receives a load of the side collision in a shearing direction. Accordingly, it is possible to increase strength of the front wall of the shock absorbing member support bracket against the side collision, prevent the shock absorbing member from falling down sideways, and enhance the shock absorbing effect. | 04-21-2011 |
