Abstract:
A radar device transmits an electric wave whose band is spread by a PN code, receives a reflected wave of the electric wave from an object 10, detects correlation between a received signal and a PN code which is delayed, and thereby detects the object. A receiving part 18 connects three receiving antennas 16a.about.16c sequentially one by one, thereby to receive a reflected wave from an object. The three receiving antennas are arranged having their directions so staggered that their antenna beam patterns partly overlap with each other. A correlation detection circuit 19 detects such a slide width that a value of correlation between a received signal received by each of the antennas and the PN code exceeds a predetermined threshold. An operation part 12 obtains an azimuth of an object based on the detected slide width and beam pattern characteristics of the antennas.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor integrated circuit device includes the steps of constructing a plurality of lead frames having leads which each include an inner portion and an outer portion and electrically connecting a semiconductor chip to the inner portions of the leads of each frame. The lead frames are then stacked one above each other to form a vertical stack and plates are then inserted between each of the lead frames with each plate having an opening in the center whereby a central cavity is formed in the stack. The stack is then placed between a top mold member and a bottom mold member and a resin is injected into the central cavity whereupon the resin is cured to form a single resin package encapsulating the semiconductor chips. The resin package is then released from the mold members.
Abstract:
A video data recording apparatus for recording video data using a tape-like recording medium accommodated in a cassette provided with a semiconductor memory by which it is possible to suitably determine the cuts and make effective use of the semiconductor memory to enable efficient editing. The user can mark the recorded video data with the desired starting position and ending position of the video data. The marked cuts are used to extract the index picture and, at the same time, the recording positions of the cuts and an index picture on the tape recording medium are recorded in the semiconductor memory.
Abstract:
A radar device transmits by a transmitting part a wave whose band is spread by a PN code from a PN generator, receives at a receiving part a reflected wave from an object based on the wave and detects the object by detecting correlation between the received signal and the PN code. In this radar device, the received signal which is spread to a wide range is converted to a low-frequency band which is easy to be measured by a down converter so that a signal is generated when correlation is made by a delay of the PN code from a delay circuit, and generates a pulse signal through waveform shaping of the signal to detect the object and to measure its relative speed and distance at a processing part according to the pulse signal and the delay time.
Abstract:
A memory matrix--which comprises memory cells arranged in matrix, each made up of a ferroelectric capacitor and an address selection MOSFET--is divided for each word line into a plurality of memory blocks. Each of the memory blocks is provided with a mode storage circuit that stores a DRAM mode (volatile mode) or an NV mode (non-volatile mode) in one-to-one correspondence for each memory block, and with a refresh operation count circuit that counts for each memory block the number of times the refresh operations is performed consecutively. During an n-th refresh operation (where n is a predetermined number of times), a memory access is made to temporarily change the plate voltage of the ferroelectric capacitor from one voltage to another and at the same time the mode storage circuit is changed from the DRAM mode to the NV mode. When a read or write operation to and from a memory cell in the memory block is performed, the mode storage circuit is changed from the NV mode to the DRAM mode. The refresh operation is omitted for the memory block that was set to the NV mode according to the stored information in the mode storage circuit.
Abstract:
Input/output terminals of a first semiconductor memory device in which failures or defects exist in units of memory mats and input/output terminals of a second semiconductor memory device having redundant memory mats are connected to one another on a mounted substrate to thereby relieve the failures in the memory mat units. A power source is substantially cut off from supplying to a faulty memory mat.

A multipath transmission system according to the present invention comprises a plurality of multiplex nodes connected to two multiplex buses. Each of the multiplex nodes is assigned to a specific apparatus, and includes a communication control circuit (LSI) for fetching multiplex signals from the apparatus and transmitting the multiplex signals to the multiplex buses. One multiplex node, out of the plurality of multiplex nodes, includes communication control circuits driver/receiver circuits, and troubleshooting driver/receiver circuits, which are connected to the multiplex buses and used for signal transfer between the buses, and a microprocessor for troubleshooting the multiplex buses and the multiplex nodes. The multiplex node relays a failure signal, corresponding to the result of troubleshooting, to the other network which suffers no trouble.
