A biosafety cabinet includes an operation, an operation space, a front plate, an operation opening, a vibration damping mechanism and an exhaust. The vibration damping mechanism is a mechanism that floats an operation object, which is disposed in the operation space, from the operation stage. The vibration damping mechanism includes a table which supports the operation object, and a magnet which is disposed in the operation stage. The vibration damping mechanism is a mechanism that floats the operation object from the operation stage by using a magnetic force.

Provided is a safety cabinet that prevents oversights in airtightness tests and HEPA filter penetration ratio tests even if a pathogen or the like leaks from a workspace wall surface in the interior of the safety cabinet. The safety cabinet includes: a work surface at the bottom of a workspace; a front panel at the front of the workspace; a work opening section below the front panel; and a first air purification means that filters exhaust air that is air discharged from within the workspace. The safety cabinet is characterized in that the non-workspace sides of a side wall surface and a back wall surface of the workspace are formed by an outer wall of a device with prescribed airtightness performance.

Provided are a fan filter unit and a sterilization apparatus capable of shortening a sterilization operation time to be performed at a changeover. The sterilization apparatus has: a working space; a fan filter unit for supplying clean air to the working space; and a sterilizing gas charging unit on the air suction side of the fan filter unit. The fan filter unit comprises: a fan unit section constituted by an air blower and a pressurization chamber; a dust removal filter provided on the downstream side of the fan unit section; a passage bypassing the dust removal filter; and an opening and closing mechanism of the passage. By opening the opening and closing mechanism, the air flow not passing through the dust removal filter can be supplied to the secondary side of the fan filter unit.

The purpose of the present invention is to reduce the risk of contamination in a clean air device in which a safety cabinet and clean booths are coupled. To achieve this, a clean air device in which a cabinet and clean booths are coupled, is configured such that the cabinet is equipped with: a work space which is formed on the inner side of a front shutter; and a circulation path which is formed from the lower surface, side surfaces, rear surface of the work space, and an outside portion of the cabinet so as to exhaust the air flowing into the work space. Pass boxes connected to the clean booths are provided to a portion of the side surfaces of the work space. Each of the pass boxes is formed by a pass box coupling inner surface, the outside of which has a space formed by a pass box coupling outer surface. The space communicates with the circulation path. The bottom of the pass box coupling outer surface is provided with a pass box coupling outer surface slit.

When an operational mode is shifted to a standby mode, a first transistor is brought into a conduction state by a control signal, and a word line is thereby clamped to a ground voltage. Further, a second transistor is brought into a non-conduction state, and supply of an internal power supply voltage to a word line driver is shut off. Subsequently, the supply of the internal power supply voltage is halted for saving electrical power. When the operational mode returns to a normal mode, the supply of the internal power supply voltage is started, and subsequently, the first transistor is brought into the non-conduction state by the control signal, and the second transistor is thereby brought into the conduction state.

In an SRAM according to the present invention, an internal power supply voltage for a memory cell is applied to a back gate of each of P-channel MOS transistors included in an equalizer, a write driver, and a column select gate. Therefore, even if an internal power supply voltage for a peripheral circuit is shut off to reduce current consumption during standby, a threshold voltage of each of the P-channel MOS transistors is maintained at a high level, and hence a leakage current is small.
