  • Publication number: 20100186197
    Abstract: A clip body (11) of a harness clip member (10) is provided with a stem (14) which integrally projects from a lower face of an umbrella-like flange (13), and a pair of left and right elastic locking pieces (15, 15) formed on a tip end of the stem (14). A band connecting section (16) including a gate-like frame member where the band member (12) is inserted through has a pair of left and right side parts (16a, 16b), and an upper part (16c) which connects the side parts (16a, 16b). In one of the side parts (16b), wedge-like notches (16d, 16d) are formed at a symmetric position where tip ends (16e, 16e) are opposed to each other such that lateral widthwise direction size of the side part (16b) is reduced. A narrow weak section (19) is provided between these tip ends (16e, 16e).

  • Patent number: 5220435
    Abstract: A MUSE signal recording/reproducing apparatus for converting a MUSE signal into a digital signal and for recording/reproducing the same, including an HDVTR, a signal processing device, and a control device for controlling the HDVTR and the signal processing device. The HDVTR is a device capable of recording/reproducing effective lines and effective picture elements of a high definition television signal. The signal processing device performs A/D conversion and multiplex processing of two synchronizing MUSE signals to convert the same into frequency double that of a MUSE signal, and further performs rate conversion corresponding to recording frequency and phase of the HDVTR. The HDVTR records the rate-converted data.
