Disclosed is a memory device including an error rate measurement circuit and a control circuit. The error rate measurement circuit, carrying a BIST circuit, reads out and writes data for an area for monitor bits every refresh period to detect an error rate (error count) with the refresh period. The control circuit performs control for elongating and shortening the refresh period so that a desired error rate will be achieved. The BIST circuit issues an internal command and an internal address and drives the DRAM from inside. The BIST circuit writes and reads out desired data, compares the monitor bits to expected values (error decision) and counts the errors.

A laser scanner which operates pursuant to the elapsed time principle and which has a pulsed laser that directs successive light pulses into a monitored region. The laser scanner further has a light receiving arrangement for receiving light pulses reflected by an object in the monitored region and that generates electric received signals which are fed to an evaluation unit for determining a distance between the object and the laser scanner based on the elapsed time between the emission of the light pulse and the receipt of the reflected pulse and the speed of light from which a distance signal is formed that is representative of the distance between the object and the scanner. There is a light diverter unit between the pulsed laser and the monitored region which continuously directs light pulses along different directions into the monitored region. A light source is provided which emits a light measuring signal of reduced strength which is also continuously directed into the monitored region in continuously changing directions. The light receiving arrangement is configured to receive the light measuring signal reflected by the object in the monitored region and to generate a reflection signal that is representative of the reflection characteristics of the object. The light pulses and the receiving signals are changeable in dependency of the reflection signal.

The angular velocity sensor for detecting an angular velocity for detecting movement amounts and for controlling postures of vehicles, airplanes, cameras, and the like. The angular velocity sensor is provided with a piezoelectric vibrator, a temperature compensation function generating section, a correction coefficient setting section, an oscillation section, a synchronous pulse forming section, and a Coriolis output detection section. If an angular velocity is applied to the piezoelectric vibrator vibrating in a specific direction being driven by the oscillator section, a Coriolis force acts on the piezoelectric vibrator, and a vibration is generated which is perpendicular to the vibration in a specific direction. An electric charge generated by this vibration is detected at the detection electrode of the piezoelectric vibrator. The detected electric charge is converted to a voltage at the Coriolis output detection section, and a temperature compensation is performed, and further, the output is detected and a DC component is extracted. After that, a DC detecting signal having high stability without being influenced by factors such as the ambient temperature, power supply voltage fluctuations and unevenness in circuit devices is output from the Coriolis output detection section.

A laser radar device that operates on an elapsed time basis and has a pulsating laser for emitting successive light pulses into a monitored region. A light receiver receives light impulses reflected by an object in the monitored region and generates electrical signals responsive to the received light impulses. The signals are forwarded to an evaluation unit adapted to generate a distance signal indicative of a distance between the object and the laser radar device on the basis of the speed of light and an elapsed time between the emission of the light pulses and the receipt of the reflected light pulses. A light diverter located between the laser and the monitored region continuously varies the directionality of the light impulses directed into the monitored region and includes a beam splitter that divides the energy of the emitted light pulses into a main beam and a sensing beam. The beam splitter causes a constant angular offset between the main beam and the sensing beam in the direction in which the directionality of the light beams is varied. A further light receiver is provided for receiving light impulses from the sensing beam reflected by the object.
