Abstract: Disclosed is an edible object marking apparatus (1) wherein a carrier means (20) successively conveys an edible object to a detecting means (210), a marking means (220), and a marking inspecting means (230) while holding the edible object, wherein the detecting means (210) captures an image of the edible object to acquire orientational data indicating the orientation of the edible object, the marking means (220) forms a pre-set marking pattern in accordance with the orientation of the edible object based on the orientational data, and the marking inspecting means (230) captures an image of the edible object, extracts marking pattern data, compares the marking pattern data with pre-set reference pattern data based on the orientational data acquired by the detecting means (210) to thereby inspect marking accuracy. This edible object marking apparatus makes it possible to promptly and easily obtain edible objects provided with an accurate marking.

Abstract: A horizontal deflection correcting circuit for a television receiver having a CRT with a horizontal convergence winding includes a device for generating a corrective current which has opposite polarities during first and second halves of each horizontal period respectively. The corrective current is fed to the horizontal convergence winding to correct a distortion of a reproduced image on the CRT in horizontal linearity.

Abstract: In a television receiver, a change in a horizontal frequency of an input television signal between a high frequency and a low frequency is detected. A horizontal oscillation frequency, a horizontal deflection drive pulse width, and a horizontal blanking period are changed in a first predetermined sequence in response to a change in the horizontal frequency of the input television signal from the high frequency to the low frequency. The horizontal oscillation frequency, the horizontal deflection drive pulse width, and the horizontal blanking period are changed in a second predetermined sequence in response to a change in the horizontal frequency of the input television signal from the low frequency to the high frequency. The first and second predetermined sequences are opposite to each other.
