20090050142 | INHALER DEVICE - A medicine cartridge that discharges medicine towards an air channel includes a liquid medicine tank, a liquid medicine channel, and a discharge head. Before inhalation, the discharge head can be filled with the medicine by pushing a rubber stopper, provided at the bottom of the liquid medicine tank, using a rubber-stopper pushing portion. After a user inhales the medicine, a door for an air inlet is closed and a mouthpiece is slid into the air channel, causing the air pressure in the air channel to increase. This allows the medicine remaining in the discharge head to be returned to the liquid medicine tank. | 02-26-2009 |

20090283094 | MEDICINE EJECTION DEVICE - In a medicine ejection device for administering a medicine to the throat, bronchi or lungs, the air flow path to which the medicine has stuck is to be kept in clean state in a simple configuration. The medicine ejection device which ejects a medicine to be inhaled by a user via a suction port, including a flow path member linked to the suction port and capable of forming an air flow path in which the medicine is guided by the inhalation by the user to the suction port, and an internal wall face constituting member which is intended for formation of the internal wall of the air flow path and allows detachable fitting in the flow path member. | 11-19-2009 |
20100275914 | LIQUID EJECTION DEVICE - A liquid ejection device of the present invention includes an inhaling port portion, an ejection head for ejecting a liquid to be inhaled by a user through the inhaling port portion, a first sensor for detecting an action of the user relating to inhalation, a second sensor for detecting another action of the user relating to inhalation, the second sensor being different from the first sensor, and a determining portion for determining an operation of ejecting the liquid of the ejection head in response to both a first signal output from the first sensor and a second signal output from the second sensor, wherein the determining portion enables ejection of the liquid from the ejection head when both the first signal and the second signal are signals indicating inhalation intention of the user. | 11-04-2010 |
20100282255 | MEDICINE EJECTION DEVICE AND CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR - Provided are a medicine ejection device capable of realizing appropriate ejection by surely setting an inner pressure of a medicine tank at a negative pressure in an initial period of every ejection time, and a control method for the medicine ejection device. A medicine container section that contains medicine is coupled to a medicine ejection section including nozzles from which the medicine is ejected, and elements which generate energy for ejecting the medicine from the nozzles. A plug as a movable wall positionally shifts so that a capacity of the medicine container section can increase or decrease in accordance with a predetermined pressure difference between an inside and outside of the medicine container section. Prior to opening a head cap, the capacity is increased so as to generate pressure variations in a negative pressure direction, which have a larger value than a value equivalent to the predetermined pressure difference. | 11-11-2010 |

The filter length of the noise filter is variable according to the output capability of the data in the output buffer circuit. | 10-16-2008 |
20110013452 | SEMICONDUCTOR MEMORY DEVICE - According to one embodiment, a semiconductor memory device includes a first memory, a second memory and a control circuit. The first memory includes a first bank number. The second memory includes a second bank number larger than the first bank number. The control circuit controls a precharge operation with respect to bit lines provided in the first and second memories. When performing, with respect to the first memory, a synchronous operation that is effected in synchronization with a clock, the control circuit changes over a second precharge operation to an operation time different from a first precharge operation during a period from the end of the initial first precharge operation to the start of the subsequent second precharge operation after receiving an address. | 01-20-2011 |
20110013472 | SEMICONDUCTOR MEMORY DEVICE - According to one embodiment, a semiconductor memory device includes a memory array, an address counter, an address detecting circuit and a control circuit. The memory array has a plurality of memory cells arranged at crossing positions of word lines and bit lines. The address counter increments an address including a row address and a column address in synchronism with a clock to sequentially output the incremented addresses. The address detecting circuit detects an address previous to an address including a row address to which the row address is switched at the address output from the address counter to output a detection signal. The control circuit performs a precharging operation to the bit lines connected to the memory cells according to the detection signal output from the address detecting circuit. | 01-20-2011 |
