Title: Semiconductor memory device
IPC: G11C7/06
Filed: 1989-06-23
Abstract: In a semiconductor memory device, a first load 
circuit (14A) is coupled with the column lines (BL1,..., 
BLn). first dummy cells (DC1,..., DCm) are connected to 
a dummy column line (DBL), a second load circuit (14B) 
is connected to the dummy column line, a second dummy 
cell (DCm+1) is connected to the dummy column line, and 
a sense amplifier (15) senses the data stored in the 
memory cell in accordance with a potential difference 
between the column line and the dummy column line. In 
semiconductor memory devices thus arranged, the second 
dummy cell is set in an on state normally. The connection 
of the second dummy cell with the dummy line 
changes a current flowing to the dummy line at the time 
of row line switching, thereby to hold back a rise of 
the reference potential at the time of the row line 
switching.

Abstract: In a photomultiplier of the present invention, a
semiconductor device (60) arranged in an envelope (20) to oppose
a photocathode (40) is constituted by a semiconductor
substrate of a first conductivity type, a carrier
multiplication layer of a second conductivity type
different from the first conductivity type, which is
formed on the semiconductor substrate by epitaxial
growth, a breakdown voltage control layer of the second
conductivity type, which is formed on the carrier
multiplication layer and has a dopant concentration
higher than that of the carrier multiplication layer, a
first insulating layer formed on the breakdown voltage
control layer and said carrier multiplication layer
while partially exposing the surface of the breakdown
voltage control layer as a receptor for photoelectrons
and consisting of a nitride, and an ohmic electrode
layer formed on a peripheral surface portion of the
receptor of the breakdown voltage control layer. When
the dopant concentration distribution in the carrier
multiplication layer is uniformly controlled on the
basis of epitaxial growth, the uniformity of an
avalanche multiplication gain for photoelectrons
incident at different positions on the receptor of the
semiconductor device is improved, thereby largely
increasing the energy resolving power.

Abstract: A magnetic tape, on which a plurality of patterned tracks
indicating a plurality of PAL type color television video
signals recorded at a long time recording speed in a long time
play mode are formed in series, is wound on a rotational drum
on which a pair of rotational magnetic heads are arranged to
be spaced at 180 degrees apart. When the PAL type color
television video signals are read out from the magnetic tape
while the magnetic tape is run at a special reproducing speed
higher than the long time recording speed, phases of a
plurality of color difference signals R-Y included in the PAL
type color television video signals are controlled on
condition that the phases of the color difference signals R-Y
are alternately set to an inverted condition every horizontal
scanning period even though one rotational magnetic head
scanning the magnetic tape is changed to the other rotational
magnetic head. Therefore, the occurrence of a skew in a
reproduced image or the decolaration of the reproduced image
can be prevented.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for encoding an input signal, such as
a broad-range speech signal, in which plural decoding operations
with different bit rates is enabled for assuring a high encoding bit
rate and for minimizing deterioration of the reproduced sound even
with a low bit rate. The signal encoding method includes a band-splitting
step for splitting an input signal into plurality of bands
and a step of encoding signals of the bands in a different manner
depending on signal characteristics of the bands. Specifically, a
low-range side signal is taken out by a low-pass filter (LPF) 102
from an input signal entering a terminal 101, and analyzed for LPC
by an LPC analysis quantization unit 130. After finding the LPC
residuals, as short-term prediction residuals by an LPC inverted
filter 111, the pitch is found by a pitch analysis circuit 115. Then,
pitch residuals are found by long-term prediction by a pitch inverted
filter 112. The pitch residuals are processed with MDCT by a
modified DCT (MDCT) circuit 113 and vector-quantized by a vector-quantization
(VQ) circuit 114. The resulting quantization indices are
transmitted along with the pitch lag and the pitch gain. The linear
spectral pairs (LSP) are also sent as parameter representing LPC
coefficients.
