A shift register which, including a plurality of cells each comprising a data latch section and a shift control section, operates without external clocks, wherein the shift control section includes a terminal for receiving a shift start control signal; a terminal for receiving a shift inhibition control signal; a shift allowance control circuit which receives signals indicating as to whether each of the particular cell and the cells adjacent thereto is in a shift operation and signals indicating...

Shift mechanism is provided for shifting gears in a gearbox. The gearbox has a housing, a gear shaft in the housing, a plurality of gears rotatably mounted on the shaft, a connecting member moveable along the shaft for individually connecting the gears to the shaft, and a collar positioned around the shaft and engageable with the connecting member to move it along the shaft. The shaft mechanism includes a shifter fork for moving the collar and the connecting member along the shaft, the fork havi...

A shift register for driving a pixel array is adapted to prevent a defect due to a short of a capacitor. In each stage of the shift register, an output circuit is provided with a pull-up transistor having a first input electrode for receiving a first clock signal, a first output electrode connected to a row line and a first control electrode, and a pull-down transistor having a second input electrode connected to a low-level voltage source, a second output electrode connected to the row line and...

A shift register that is suitable for reducing the required number of clock signals as well as simplifying the configuration of an external control circuit uses a plurality of stages connected, in series, to a start pulse input line. In each stage, an output circuit responds to a first control signal to apply any one of first and second clock signals to a row line of a liquid crystal cell array and thus to charge the low line of the liquid crystal cell array, and responds to a second control sig...

A shift linkage has a linkage bracket that transmits motion from a drive linkage to a driven linkage. The linkage bracket has a slot that operably engages with a guide to facilitate during an outboard marine engine operation. The slot has an upper and a lower portion such that the lower portion is configured with a lost-motion channel. A guide is disposed in the slot and is configured to ride along the lost motion channel. The drive linkage is connected to the guide to displace initial motion an...

An output buffer in each stage of a shift register applies a first clock signal to an output line under control of a first node and a second driving voltage to the output line under control of second and third nodes. A first node controller controls the first node using a start pulse and an output signal of the next stage. A second node controller selectively applies a voltage at a fourth node and the second driving voltage to the second node under control of the first and second clock signals. ...

A shift register is provided, for example, for use in scan and data line drivers for an active matrix liquid crystal display. The shift register comprises X stages, where X is an integer greater than 3. A clock signal generator supplies Y-phase clock signals, where Y is greater than 2. Each of the stages comprises a flip-flop and logic circuit and receives a set enable signal from the immediately preceding stage output. Each stage is set by the leading edge of one of the clock phases in the pres...

A shift lever is composed of a lower lever section connected to a control rod of a transmission, and an upper lever section formed with a hollow cylindrical portion and provided with a shift lever knob. The lower lever section is formed with an elongate end portion which is being inserted in the hollow cylindrical portion of the upper lever section. Additionally, lower and upper elastomeric insulators spaced from each other are securely mounted on the elongate end portion of the lower lever sect...

A shift register for use with a liquid crystal display device includes a plurality of stages. A stage of the shift register includes a first controller, a second controller and an output buffer. The first controller charges and discharges a first node. The second controller charges and discharges a second node and a third node. The output buffer outputs a first output signal in response to the state of the first node and a second output signal in response to the state of the second and third nod...

A knob body of a rigid resin is divided at a generally central portion thereof in front and rear directions into a first knob division portion and a second knob division portion. A button insertion tubular portion and a mounting tubular portion are formed integrally with the first knob division portion, and a shell is provided to cover the outer periphery of the knob body. The first and second knob division portions are molded separately from each other, and by doing so, the thickness can be mad...
