Abstract: A washing machine includes a controller. The controller perform switching processing, by moving a moving part in an axial direction so that the moving part is switched from a start state in which one of a rotor-side fixing part and a stator-side fixing part engages with the moving part to an end state in which a remaining one of the rotor-side fixing part and the stator-side fixing part engages with the moving part. The controller is further configured to perform an adjustment operation before the end state of the switching processing starts. In the adjustment operation, the controller is further configured to adjust an engagement position by changing a rotation phase of rotor so as to allow an engagement position of the moving part with respect to the remaining one of the rotor-side fixing part and the stator-side fixing part to become a target engagement position.

Abstract: A receiver is provided which can perform normal reception even under strict environments such as multi-path environments. A frequency offset detector detects a frequency offset amount in accordance with a phrase reference symbol. The detected frequency offset value is integrated by an integrated by an integrator. The integrated value is compared by a comparator with a predetermined threshold value range. If the integrated value output from the integrator is the threshold value range, a frequency offset value amount detected by another frequency offset detector in accordance with a phase difference of a delay —detection output is selected by a switch circuit. If the integrated value is not in the threshold value range, the frequency offset value detected by the frequency offset detector is selected by the switch circuit. In accordance with each selected frequency offset value, automatic frequency control of the receiver is performed.
