A sense circuit for reading a memory cell characterized in that a flowing current is varied depending on stored data and a voltage applied through a word line includes: an inverter; a first capacitor provided so as to be electrically connected between an input of the inverter and a bit line to which the memory cell is connected; a first transistor which short-circuits an input and an output of the inverter; a second capacitor for supplying charge to the first capacitor; and second transistors, wherein an input potential of the inverter is increased or decreased according to the current of the memory cell and is then amplified to be latched as a logic value.

A ball bearing 34 serving as a support reference for a pinion shaft 2 is located directly under a worm wheel 51. Thus, even when a temperature change occurs around the electric power steering apparatus, the engagement position between the worm wheel 51 and the worm 53 shifts only slightly in the axial direction of the pinion shaft 2. Furthermore, a bearing hole 47 into which an outer race of a lower needle bearing 36 is pressed and a bearing hole 45 into which an outer race of an upper ball bearing 34 is pressed are formed in a common lower gear box 41, and can be fabricated by through processing using a boring tool from the bearing hole 45 side.

The delay demodulation device 1 comprises: an input waveguide 2 which receives DQPSK signals; a Y-branch waveguide 3 which splits the input waveguide 2; a first Mach-Zehnder interferometer 4; and a second Mach-Zehnder interferometer 5. Both end of two arm-waveguides 8, 9 of the first Mach-Zehnder interferometer 4 and both ends of two arm-waveguides 12, 13 of the second Mach-Zehnder interferometer 5 are angled toward the center portion of a planar lightwave circuit (PLC) 1A. Because of the angle, the length of the two arm-waveguides 8, 9 of the first Mach-Zehnder interferometer 4 and the length of the two arm-waveguides 12, 13 of the second Mach-Zehnder interferometer 5 in Z-direction can be shortened, and input couplers 6,10 and output couplers 7,11 of each Mach-Zehnder interferometers in Z-direction can be shortened as well. The area occupied by each Mach-Zehnder interferometers 4, 5 are also reduced.

An improved system and method for capturing an image using a camera or a camera module. In the present invention, the number of image shots taken, as well as the integration time of each image shot, are controlled based upon knowledge about the existence or absence of camera motion. Whenever a motion is detected above a predetermined motion threshold, the integration phase of the current image shot ends, and the integration of the next image shot begins. The present invention therefore adapts to the actual camera motion during exposure. If there is no camera motion, a single, long exposed image shot is captured. If there is camera motion, the total exposure time is divided between multiple shots in accordance with the degree of camera motion.

An operational amplifier generates a power supply potential from a reference potential. An impedance adjuster adjusts an output impedance of the operational amplifier in accordance with a control signal. A charge accumulator accumulates an output charge of the operational amplifier whose impedance is adjusted by the impedance adjuster. A comparator compares an output voltage of the operational amplifier before the impedance adjustment by the impedance adjuster and the output voltage of the operational amplifier after the impedance adjustment by the impedance adjuster to each other, and the comparator further generates the control signal in accordance with a result of the comparison so as to output the generated control signal to the impedance adjuster.

A filter manufacturing apparatus includes a printing cell setting unit that sets, based on a predetermined filter pitch and a head resolution, printing cells having an equal number of dot areas in the direction perpendicular to the transport direction of the printing medium, a shift amount calculating unit that calculates shift amounts between the filter pitch and the printing cells in the direction perpendicular to the transport direction of the printing medium, a shift amount determining unit that determines whether shift amounts of the printing cells exceed a unit dot area; and a printing cell complementing unit that complements the shift amounts of the printing cells exceeding the unit dot area by adjusting the number of dot areas included in the printing cells.

A conveyance device has a roll rotating unit that rotates a roll of sheet medium forward and in reverse, and a conveyance path along which is an upstream roller and a downstream roller for conveying the medium and cooperate in a reverse and rewind operation. A control unit controls driving of the upstream roller, the downstream roller, and the roll rotating unit, such that, during the reverse and rewind operation, the control unit (i) drives the upstream roller and the roll rotating unit, (ii) stops driving the upstream roller while continuing to drive the roll rotating unit, first slack being created as a result of (i) or (ii), (iii) causes the medium to be nipped at the downstream roller, and (iv) drives the upstream roller while the medium is nipped at the downstream roller to create second slack.

A barcode printing method can easily and quickly find the location of a group of consecutive printing elements that can print a barcode correctly when the line print head has faulty printing elements. The printing device determines the shift range for the barcode printing position, aligns the center of the barcode print data with the center of the shift range, from this position alternately shifts the print data one printing element at a time left and right in the line direction, and finds a group of consecutive printing elements that can print the barcode correctly. A normal printing range can thus be found in a short time with the smallest shift compared with searching from the end of the shift range, and the overall efficiency of a barcode printing operation that executes repeatedly can be improved.
