In a solid-state image capturing device, one or more vertical signal lines are disposed along one of columns of a pixel portion, and each of the vertical signal lines is divided into two parts between an upper region and a lower region of the pixel portion. Pixel signals output from a plurality of pixels of the one of the columns are read out to a plurality of column readout circuits through two or more parts of the vertical signal lines including the two parts of the one or more vertical signal lines disposed along the one of the columns. A division position of one vertical signal line among the vertical signal lines disposed in the pixel portion is different from a division position of another vertical signal line among the vertical signal lines in a row direction.

A lid member for a press-through package, and a press-through package packing body using the same, includes a lid member which is not to be inadvertently torn, while tablets or capsules as its contents can be removed under a uniform opening strength by a predetermined force or more using fingers. The lid member of the packing body includes a resin film, an adhesive, an aluminum foil, and a thermal adhesive layer, in which tapered through holes are formed in the resin film. The resin film is laminated to the aluminum foil to reinforce the lid member so that the lid member is not to be inadvertently torn. When contents of a container are pushed out using fingers, the lid member is broken starting from the tapered through holes provided in the resin film, and so the contents can be easily taken out.

A laminate and the like capable of improving the barcode reading accuracy with a configuration having a smaller number of layers is provided. Further, a laminate and the like capable of further improving the barcode reading accuracy and further reducing the size of a barcode portion even when applied to a conventional layer configuration is provided. The laminate includes a colored barcode print layer, a base material layer, and a bead-containing coating layerhaving beadsdispersed in a resin

A solid-state imaging device includes column amplifiers that are each provided for a different one of column signal lines. Each column amplifier includes: a constant current circuit that supplies a constant current; an amplifier circuit that is connected in series with the constant current circuit, and amplifies a pixel signal from a corresponding column signal line and outputs the amplified signal from a point of connection with the constant current circuit; and a resistor circuit that is connected in parallel with the amplifier circuit and has a constant resistance.

Solid-state imaging device

It is an object to obtain a solid-state imaging device that can reduce a variation in an electric current that flows between an amplifier power supply and ground wiring in a column amplifier, which occurs in accordance with an input signal level, without degrading manufacture and operation tolerances in terms of photoelectric conversion characteristics of the solid-state imaging device. A solid-state imaging device includes: a pixel array in which imaging pixels are arranged in row and column directions; a plurality of vertical signal lines, each of which commonly outputs signals from part of the imaging pixels that is aligned in each column of the pixel array; and a plurality of column amplifiers that are provided in a one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of vertical signals lines. In the solid-state imaging device, between a column amplifier power supply and a ground in each of the plurality of column amplifiers, a current generating circuit is provided that generates a correction current in such a direction as to cancel out a variation in an operation current of each of the plurality of column amplifiers.

A natural circulation type evaporative cooling electric power cable line having a circulation system for the cooling medium wherein a cooling medium passage within the electric power cable line has an inlet and an outlet respectively connected with a cooling unit positioned at a level higher than the cooling medium passages inlet of the cable by means of a feeding pipe and a return pipe with a liquefiable gas cooling medium sealed therein. At least a riser portion of the return pipe leading to the cooling unit is installed below the level of the cooling medium return passage outlet of the cable, and the return pipe is provided with a device for boosting circulation force without positive displacement mechanism (such as a pump or the like), so as to make the cooling medium circulate even in a low load current region by exceeding the current allowable without cooling for that cable.

Natural circulation type evaporative cooling power cable line

An evaporative cooling power cable is provided with a circulating duct to act as a refrigerant passage. An insulating and liquescent cooling agent is sealed in the circulating duct to be liquified at least during part of its passage through the duct so that the liquid surface of the refrigerant is held higher than the inlet of the refrigerant to the cable. Thus, the refrigerant evaporated by the absorption of heat generated in the cable will naturally circulate the refrigerant to effectuate the cooling of the power cable.
